What You'll Do

• Set up, instrument, and operate environmental test chambers for temperature, humidity, altitude, and thermal shock testing of new products.
• Support and execute highly accelerated life testing, including fixture setup, thermal and vibration profile execution, powered functional monitoring, and capture of failure signatures.
• Support environmental and electrical qualification testing to RTCA DO-160G, including temperature and altitude, temperature variation, humidity, vibration, shock and crash safety, power input, and related sections, both in house and at outside test laboratories.
• Write, redline, and maintain test plans, test procedures, and test setup documentation, and recommend improvements when a procedure does not match the hardware or intent of the test.
• Record test results accurately and completely, including data logs, photographs, instrument screenshots, and pass or fail observations, and produce clear test reports and HALT summaries for engineering review.
• Identify, document, and elevate anomalies and failures observed during testing; support engineers with troubleshooting and root cause analysis; and retest after corrective action.
• Assemble prototype and engineering development units according to drawings, wiring diagrams, bills of material, and direction from engineering.
• Perform hand soldering, component level rework, and printed circuit board modifications, including surface mount and through hole parts, blue wire modifications, and component removal and replacement.
• Fabricate and modify cable and harness assemblies, including cutting, stripping, crimping, soldering, connector termination, shielding, labeling, and continuity verification.
• Build mechanical and electromechanical assemblies, install hardware, and integrate subassemblies into complete units for testing.
• Set up, operate, and maintain test equipment and laboratory fixtures, including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, function generators, and data acquisition systems.
• Maintain calibration status, cleanliness, ESD controls, and general readiness of the test laboratory and prototype build area.
• Support the transition of new products to manufacturing by providing feedback on assembly, testability, and workmanship and helping validate production test procedures and fixtures.
• Perform other tasks as needed to support new product development, including expediting parts, kitting builds, and assisting with engineering experiments and demonstrations.

• Associate of Applied Science degree in Electronics or Electrical Technology, completion of a military electronics technical school, or equivalent training.
• Three or more years of hands on experience in electronics testing, electronics assembly, or a comparable technician role.
• Demonstrated hand soldering and rework skills on printed circuit boards, including surface mount and through hole components.
• Experience building and modifying cable and wire harness assemblies, including…
