You will be responsible for ensuring that all testing adheres to strict industry standards, managing test setups, and guaranteeing the integrity of the data that drives our engineering decisions.

Responsibilities

Set up and operate universal testing machines to perform tensile, compression, flexural, shear, and fatigue testing across diverse material groups
Interpret and strictly adhere to ASTM, ISO, and custom internal testing standards for aerospace applications
Manage the end-to-end specimen preparation process, ensuring precise dimensional tolerances and surface finishes are met prior to testing
Select, install, and align appropriate gripping and fixturing for complex test setups, including high-temperature, cryogenic, or non-standard geometries
Record, process, and compile test data into clear, concise reports for the materials and design engineering teams
Perform routine maintenance, calibration checks, and troubleshooting on laboratory equipment to minimize downtime
Maintain a highly organized, safe, and efficient laboratory environment

Minimum Qualifications

High school diploma or equivalency certificate
3+ years of direct experience operating mechanical testing equipment in a structured laboratory environment
Proven hands-on experience testing a broad range of material classes: metals, polymers, composites, and ceramics
Deep functional knowledge of mechanical testing standards (e.g., ASTM E8, D3039, D638, C1161) and specimen geometry requirements
Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to safely handle high-load testing equipment and delicate sensors (extensometers, strain gauges)
Excellent meticulousness regarding data entry, traceability, and documentation

Preferred Skills and Experience

Associate’s degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related technical field (or equivalent combination of education and hands-on experience)
5+ years of demonstrated experience with prior experience working environmental mechanical testing, such as testing in cryogenic chambers, elevated temperature furnaces, or vacuum
environments within in the aerospace or defense industries
Hands-on experience with basic machining (mills, lathes, band saws) to fabricate or modify custom test fixtures on the fly
Knowledge of advanced strain measurement techniques, including Digital Image Correlation (DIC)
Familiarity with metallographic preparation or basic failure analysis post-testing
Experience performing fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth rate tests

Additional Information:

Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity.
