• Establish production processes for 5S, FOD control, tool management, calibration procedures, and visual management of production tooling and equipment.
• Enable production test autonomy by challenging requirements, simplifying work procedures, and automating actions.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or an equivalent field.
• 2+ years of hands‑on environmental test experience with vibration, shock, and acoustic testing in compliance with MIL‑STD‑810, SMC‑S‑016, or MIL‑STD‑1540.
• 2+ years working with Data Acquisition systems.
• Familiarity with installation of test instrumentation.

• Experience running force‑limited vibration testing.
• Experience running Direct Field Acoustic Testing.
• Ability to read mechanical and electrical drawings.
• Familiarity with ICP/IEPE accelerometers, strain gauges, and Force sensors.
• Experience with M+P, Kistler, or Vibration Research software and DAS.
• Experience creating automated scripts (Python, Matlab, LabVIEW or similar).
