You will own data collection, equipment integration, and test automation, coordinating engineers and technicians to deliver complete data packages and customer-ready results.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, aerospace, or chemical engineering.
• 5+ years in test, launch, controls, integration, or fluid systems engineering.
• Deep pressure test experience on large, complex hardware.
• Strong pressure system design: P&IDs, relief sizing, stored energy, and ASME BPVC Section VIII, B31.3, PCC-2.
• Experience with test equipment and data acquisition systems (NI, Dewesoft, HBK, or similar).
• Test automation in Python, LabVIEW, or similar.

• Lead the selection, purchase, and integration of hydrostatic, proof, and functional test equipment into the work center. Design custom pressure systems, fixtures, and data acquisition when nothing off the shelf fits.
• Own test safety: hazard analysis, stored energy calculations, and engineering controls for every test you stand up.
• Set the data collection, labeling, storage, and traceability requirements for program testing, and work with our controls, software, and data teams to build the tools.
• Write test automation, process plans, work orders, and training materials, and set the standard the rest of the team follows.
• Hand each test off to production with clear accept/reject criteria and trained technicians.
• Deliver a complete test data package to the customer showing compliance with every agreed requirement.
• Lead customer reviews and witness tests.
• Mentor engineers and technicians on pressure testing, test design, and safety.
