Co-op: Test Engineer
About The Position
This student will be a major contributor to the process of gathering performance data for ESTAT Actuation's electroadhesive brakes and clutches. They will play pivotal roles in the development and use of laboratory test stands and data analysis. While coding is a natural component of the job, this student should have hands-on experience working with electrical systems. Skills that will be utilized and developed during this co-op: test fixture design, sensor placement, load mapping, design of experiments, material characterization, wiring diagrams, MATLAB, Python / Embedded C, signal processing, internal stakeholder interaction, supplier interaction, documentation, and presentation skills. ESTAT has a preference for Juniors and Seniors, but can consider lower classmen with exceptional hands-on experience. No one comes to ESTAT with experience in electroadhesives. It takes time to learn and become independent. ESTAT has a strong preference for students who are considering two 6-month rotations as this is the best way to ensure they can make lasting contributions.
