TL;DR · Environmental Test Engineer

Environmental Test Engineer The Environmental Test Engineer joins the Enterprise Test Capabilities team to provide specialized testing for defense products. This role involves developing and executing environmental test procedures for thermal, dynamic, climatic, corrosion, and ingress testing in accordance with MIL-STD-810 and DO-160 standards. The engineer will partner with program teams to interpret requirements, design instrumentation and data acquisition approaches, and produce engineering test reports for qualification decisions. Day-to-day tasks include programming and operating test controllers like WATLOW F4s/F4Ts, managing electrodynamic shaker systems for vibration testing, and maintaining lab equipment such as chambers and DAQ systems. Required skills include proficiency with data acquisition systems, experience with thermal and shock testing, and the ability to interpret complex requirements. The role addresses critical technical risks in hardware durability by providing trusted engineering evidence through rigorous environmental stress testing.

What you'll do

  • Develop and execute environmental test procedures for thermal, dynamic, climatic, corrosion, and ingress testing per MIL-STD-810 and DO-160 standards.
  • Tailor test methods to specific program needs by selecting appropriate levels, durations, and success criteria based on operational requirements.
  • Design instrumentation and data acquisition approaches including sensor selection, channel configuration, and measurement uncertainty considerations.
  • Program and operate test controllers and electrodynamic shaker systems for sine, random, SRS, and mixed-mode vibration testing.
  • Analyze test data to identify anomalies and produce engineering reports to support qualification and certification decisions.
  • Serve as the environmental test subject matter expert to partner with engineers from planning through data delivery.
  • Create and maintain work instructions, training materials, and technical documentation for environmental testing procedures.
  • Maintain lab facilities, ensure safety protocols, and manage the maintenance of capital equipment like chambers and shakers.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering, or 10+ years of environmental test experience.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in thermal, vibration, and shock testing.
  • Working knowledge of MIL-STD-810, DO-160, or equivalent environmental test standards.
  • Experience developing test procedures and engineering test reports.
  • Proficiency with data acquisition systems and test instrumentation.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-mix environment supporting multiple programs simultaneously.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance.
