• Develop and implement test procedures, standard operating procedures, and tools for environmental test operations and related processes.
• Define environmental test equipment specifications, identify vendors, qualify equipment, and implement into production.
• Design and build test setups, fixtures, and support hardware required to safely and effectively test flight hardware.
• Manage test schedules, track milestones, and communicate progress and risk to program leadership.
• Operate environmental test equipment and instrumentation; collect, process, and analyze test data, and prepare test reports for stakeholder review.
• Support troubleshooting, root cause, and corrective action efforts for environmental test process, equipment, procedure, and fixture related issues.
• Support Design for Test efforts to optimize environmental test production processes.
• Work closely with and provide direction to technicians during test execution and hardware handling operations.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in a science or engineering discipline.
• 2+ years of working experience in testing electronics, electro-mechanical assemblies, or integrated systems.
• Experience performing one or more types of environmental testing (thermal, thermal vacuum, vibration, shock, acoustic, EMI/EMC, or similar).
• Experience developing and executing test plans and procedures from engineering requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and drive tasks to completion in a cross-functional environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly document and present test results.
• Must be onsite 5 days a week.

Bonus

• Experience operating and maintaining thermal chambers, TVAC chambers, or vibration shakers.
• Hands-on experience using data acquisition systems, instrumentation, or test automation tools (e.g., thermocouples, accelerometers, pressure transducers, Keysight, etc.).
• Experience with space flight components and spacecraft environmental testing.
• Experience designing and building electrical harnesses and connectors.
• Experience operating cranes, man lifts, forklifts, and other handling equipment.
• Experience in a fast-paced, iterative design environment within the consumer electronics, medical devices, aerospace, marine, or automotive industries.
