Client Test & Evaluation (BT&E) is looking for a Mid-Level Manufacturing Engineer to support the Environmental Test Design Engineering team in Berkeley, MO.

Manufacturing Engineers on the team plan, coordinate, and execute the fabrication and installation of lab test articles and fixtures. They review and approve designs to ensure configuration compliance, author and own the integrated build plan, and perform Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) analysis to optimize producibility. They develop work instructions for assembly/fabrication, kitting, tooling, and inspection requirements to ensure fabrication meets design, test, and program needs.

They source fabrication both inside and outside client, coordinate and track procurement activities, and provide hands on support in the lab during build and installation.

The primary focus of this position is to support St. Louis Environmental Lab testing for local Client Defense & Space (BDS) programs. Test capabilities within the Environmental Labs include vibrational/structural dynamics, acoustic, airflow systems, fuel flow systems, high temperature flow impingement, and environmental control chambers, where temperature, humidity, and pressure are varied. Test hardware ranges from mounting fixtures and components up to full-scale aircraft testing with associated instrumentation.

Position Responsibilities Include:

• Development and consolidation of test hardware and instrumentation requirements

• Review of design models and drawings

• Sourcing of fabrication & assembly including work statement creation/review as needed

• Procurement of parts/material/test articles to support test
