The Hurricane Mesa Test Facility (HMTF) is a unique R&D test site that validates ejection seat systems and subsystems using a supersonic rocket sled track. Testing spans sled-track events with aircraft-representative bodies and anthropometric manikins from zero airspeed/altitude up to and beyond the speed of sound, along with a broad spectrum of subsystem and energetic component tests. The High-Speed Camera Engineer serves as HMTF’s subject-matter expert (SME) for high-speed imaging used in sled-track and subsystem testing.

This role owns the lifecycle, readiness, and performance of sled high-speed camera systems and ensures reliable capture of critical imagery for each test event. The engineer collaborates closely with test leads and customers on camera planning, setup, execution, and post-test video review.
