Résumé du poste

Astro Mechanica is seeking a Test Engineer to join our growing team. You will design, fabricate, operate, and improve test infrastructure supporting our jet engine and subsystems, ensuring every design is rigorously tested before aircraft integration.

You will work closely with propulsion design engineers to validate models, characterize performance, and inform design iterations, while maintaining a steady focus on safety and quality in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

• 5+ 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.
• Familiarity with CAD and ability to design simple test hardware, fixtures, or modifications.
• Takes initiative for continuous improvement (not just completing assigned tasks).
• Flexibility to work in fast-paced environment.
• Attentive to detail and maintain a high level of quality in all work.

Responsabilités

• Design test stands, fixtures, and supporting hardware to enable new test capabilities
• Conduct analyses for appropriate fluid system component performance
• Develop detailed test plans, instrumentation schemes, and data collection methods to capture high-fidelity, decision-driving data
• Document work (P&ID, electrical schematics, test procedures) while collaborating with relevant stakeholders to ensure stand requirements are met
• Work closely with propulsion design engineers to validate models, characterize performance, and inform design iterations
• Conduct hardware testing and analyze results to verify requirements, identify discrepancies, and determine corrective actions
• Create and implement test strategies to validate and activate your test stand designs
• Implement safety best practices through engineering controls
