As an Environmental Test Technician, you’ll be responsible for executing spacecraft environmental test campaigns and operating critical test infrastructure including thermal vacuum chambers, vibration tables, and acoustic test equipment. You’ll work hands-on with flight hardware, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems to ensure our spacecraft can survive the rigors of launch and space operations. This is a high-impact, detail-driven role ideal for a technician with strong test fundamentals and a passion for precision.
About this Role:
- Operate and maintain environmental test equipment (thermal vacuum, vibration, acoustic chambers)
- Set up test articles and install sensors (e.g., thermocouples, accelerometers, strain gauges)
- Execute environmental tests per procedure and engineering direction
- Monitor test progress, identify and report anomalies or failures
- Collect and analyze test data; prepare accurate technical reports
- Perform routine maintenance, troubleshooting, and calibration of test equipment
- Ensure compliance with safety protocols and cleanroom procedures
- Collaborate with AIT, QA, and engineering teams to improve test processes
Must Haves:
- 2–5 years of environmental test experience (aerospace or high-reliability hardware preferred)
- Proficiency operating test equipment (thermal vacuum chambers, vibration shakers, etc.)
- Ability to read and interpret test plans, schematics, and engineering drawings
- Technical diploma or Associate’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., mechanical or electrical technology)
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to safety in high-stakes environments
- Solid understanding of instrumentation and data acquisition systems
Nice to Haves:
- Experience with environmental test standards (e.g., GEVS, Mil-Std-1540, CEQATR)
- Familiarity with RF testing setups or tools
- Basic scripting or programming skills (Python preferred)
- Certified forklift and/or crane operator
- Experience working in cleanroom or ISO-classified environments
