Who We Are:

The Structural Dynamics and Product Assurance team are committed to delivering precise and innovative testing solutions. By rigorously evaluating functionality, structural integrity, and environmental compatibility, we help prevent costly failures in the field. Our testing conditions simulate the most adverse and extreme environments these systems might encounter during storage, transportation, and operation, guaranteeing unparalleled performance and safety. Join us in pushing the boundaries of excellence and innovation in testing methodologies.

Objectives of this Role:

• Learn about the Structural Dynamics and Product Assurance lab tests.
• Support test execution, ensuring accuracy and compliance with industry standards and customer requirements.
• Communicate effectively with engineers and technicians, providing updates and resolving issues.
• Support generation of test reports and analysis.
• Assist in the fabrication activities to complete an overhead camera mast; the design is complete.
• Local year-round student position.

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:

• Support the design and implement unique testing methodologies tailored to customer needs, often focusing on MIL-STD-810 testing or similar.
• Assist with drafting and managing testing proposals, ensuring alignment with customer specifications and industry standards.
• Monitor and support management of test execution, coordinate with technicians, and address any issues that arise.
• Communicate proactively with engineers about test progress, results, and troubleshooting measures.
• Prepare and present detailed test report drafts and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
