  • Execute environmental test campaigns including vibration, shock, thermal cycling, and vacuum testing.
  • Operate and maintain equipment such as electrodynamic shakers, shock machines, and thermal chambers.
  • Prepare test setups involving fixturing, instrumentation wiring, and chamber configuration.
  • Perform fiber optic splicing and routing for optical hardware integration.
  • Monitor active tests for anomalies and take corrective actions on equipment faults.
  • Validate test data and document results in official test tickets.
  • Maintain lab organization, 5S standards, and inventory of consumables.
  • Communicate testing status and technical results to cross-functional stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • An Associate's degree in a technical science or engineering field is required, or equivalent with 5+ years of experience in environmental testing or lab operations.
  • Experience in product level validation testing including thermal, EMC/EMI, shock, and cycle testing is required.
  • Experience with test instrumentation such as accelerometers, thermocouples, and data acquisition systems is required.
  • Ability to read and execute detailed test plans and procedures in a lab or manufacturing environment is required.
  • Demonstrated ability to work in cleanrooms or controlled environments following ESD and contamination control protocols is required.
  • Preferred experience includes 3+ years of hardware development, space/aerospace maintenance, or hands-on engineering environment experience.
  • Preferred skills include fiber optic splicing, familiarity with MIL-STD standards, and operation of vibration or data acquisition software.
