Develop and improve operational procedures, automation sequences, and test workflows to increase safety, reliability, and test cadence
Collaborate with design engineers to incorporate lessons learned into future engine, facility, and ground support equipment designs
Participate in pre-test readiness reviews, hazard assessments, and post-test technical reviews
Maintain a strong commitment to operational discipline, personnel safety, and continuous process improvement

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
1+ years of experience designing, operating, maintaining, or commissioning complex mechanical or fluid systems
