  • Create and implement test strategies to validate and activate your test stand designs
  • Implement safety best practices through engineering controls
  • Familiarity with CAD and ability to design simple test hardware, fixtures, or modifications

Requirements

  • 2+ years hands-on experience with propulsion, fluidic, or mechanical systems, including hardware testing and analysis
  • Experience with hazardous environments (flammables, high voltage, pressurized systems) and safety mitigations
  • Knowledge of fluid systems hardware and instrumentation (pressure, temperature, load cells, relays, solenoids, pneumatics)
  • Ability to analyze and interpret test data, and correlate results with analytical models or simulations

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, including Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
  • 401(k) program and transparent stock option plan
  • Self-managed and flexible time-off policy, including PTO, paid holidays, and sick time
