Experience preparing test plans, procedures, calculations, configuration records, test reports, and technical data packages.
Experience evaluating test data for integrity, completeness, response trends, resonances, anomalies, and instrumentation concerns.
Experience supporting testing of live munitions, aviation systems, missile systems, or related military and aerospace hardware.
Experience working in a high-tempo technical environment with strict safety, quality, configuration-control, and procedural-compliance requirements.
Experience coordinating work across engineers, technicians, quality personnel, test directors, and customers.

Responsibilities

Support planning, coordination, and execution of vibration, acoustic, shock, pyroshock, environmental, and other dynamic test events.
Assist engineers with developing, reviewing, and updating test plans, procedures, setup instructions, configuration records, data sheets, and final test reports.
Review test requirements and support development of test approaches, instrumentation plans, data-acquisition configurations, and acceptance criteria.
Support pre-test verification of test articles, fixtures, instrumentation, channel assignments, calibration status, cable routing, and data-acquisition systems.
Monitor test operations and help identify abnormal conditions, instrumentation issues, test-control deviations, and data-quality concerns.
Collect, organize, process, analyze, and maintain test data, including vibration, shock, acoustic, force, displacement, and temperature data, as applicable.
Perform basic engineering analysis of test results to identify response trends, resonances, anomalies, exceedances, and other relevant observations.
Use approved software tools to process and present test data, including data-acquisition, vibration-control, analysis, spreadsheet, graphing, and technical-reporting applications.
Prepare calculations, plots, graphs, tabular results, technical summaries, and supporting documentation for review by engineers, customers, and management.
Support data integrity and quality assurance by validating test configurations, instrumentation records, calibration documentation, data files, and traceability records.
Help troubleshoot test setups, instrumentation, data-acquisition systems, control systems, electrodynamic shakers, hydraulic systems, and associated test-support equipment.
Participate in pre-test, live-test, and post-test activities, including test readiness reviews, post-test inspections, data reviews, and recovery actions.
Coordinate with engineers, technicians, quality-control personnel, test directors, and other stakeholders to meet test schedules and mission requirements.
Document test observations, discrepancies, corrective actions, equipment issues, and lessons learned.
Ensure compliance with applicable safety, explosive-safety, quality, configuration-control, and equipment-handling procedures.
Support laboratory readiness, housekeeping, equipment accountability, process improvement, and development of safe and repeatable test practices.
