Senior Mechanical Testing Engineer

Lead mechanical testing and finite element analysis as a Senior R&D Engineer focused on impact protection validation and technical conclusions.

This senior engineering role covers testing, simulation, material modeling, and product validation. You will own assigned R&D programs from design through validation while communicating recommendations during development reviews. The work requires autonomy across the full testing and validation cycle.

• Design and execute mechanical and impact testing campaigns
• Perform explicit dynamic finite element simulations
• Correlate simulation results with physical testing
• Develop and validate material models
• Present technical conclusions and recommendations during reviews

• Six-plus years in an R&D engineering role
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
• Hands-on testing setup, instrumentation, acquisition, and analysis experience
• Proficiency with LS-DYNA, Abaqus, Ansys, or equivalent
• OIQ membership or eligibility for membership

Apply mechanical testing, explicit dynamic FEA, and simulation-to-test correlation across demanding R&D validation programs.
