About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated Test Engineer II to support the development, qualification, and production testing of advanced aerospace systems. This role involves end-to-end ownership of test campaigns for components and subassemblies across mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and cryogenic systems.

You will play a critical role in ensuring systems meet performance, safety, and reliability standards through structured testing processes, data-driven validation, and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and execute component and subsystem test campaigns from fabrication through delivery
• Develop, author, and maintain detailed test procedures and documentation
• Conduct test readiness reviews, pre-test briefings, and post-test data analysis
• Collaborate cross-functionally with design, operations, and manufacturing teams
• Define and procure required test fixtures, support equipment, and instrumentation
• Support integration of test activities into test stands and facilities
• Ensure adherence to safety standards and protocols during all testing operations
• Improve test efficiency, throughput, and repeatability while maintaining quality standards
• Analyze and interpret test data to validate system performance and identify issues

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related technical field
• 3+ years of experience in component/system testing and data analysis
• Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail
• Ability to manage multiple projects and timelines simultaneously
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences
• Proficiency with test documentation, reporting, and data analysis tools

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, motorsports, or related industries
• Hands-on experience with pressurized systems (up to 6000 psi), hydraulic, pneumatic, or cryogenic systems
• Knowledge of fluid system components (valves, regulators, actuators, servo-valves, fittings)
• Experience with instrumentation and data acquisition systems (pressure transducers, accelerometers, etc.)
• Familiarity with automated testing systems and data processing techniques
• Experience with environmental and qualification testing (e.g., vibration, thermal, proof, leak testing)
• Understanding of industry standards such as MIL-STD-1540, MIL-STD-810, or similar
• Experience working with precision clean hardware and high-reliability systems

Core Competencies

• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
• Commitment to safety and quality in testing environments
• Ability to work in fast-paced, highly collaborative teams
• Ownership mindset with focus on execution and results

Sample Technical Screening Topics

Leak Testing

• Methods to verify system integrity in pressurized systems
• Techniques to locate leak sources
• Understanding acceptable vs. unacceptable leak rates
• Considerations for hazardous fluids

Stored Energy & Test Safety

• Differences between gas vs. liquid pressurization
• Safety implications of stored energy in compressed gases
• Test setup safety controls (relief valves, regulators, etc.)
• Understanding test objectives and failure scenarios

Instrumentation & Data Acquisition

• Selecting critical parameters (pressure, flow, temperature, etc.)
• Sampling theory and Nyquist considerations
• Signal accuracy and risks of undersampling
• Fundamentals of pressure transducers and sensing systems
