  • Install and configure test fixtures, sensors, accelerometers, thermocouples, cables, and data acquisition equipment.
  • Prepare test chambers, vibration systems, and supporting equipment in accordance with approved procedures.
  • Perform pre-test inspections and verify that test configurations match engineering documentation.
  • Execute test procedures while monitoring hardware and test equipment throughout the test.
  • Record test parameters, observations, anomalies, and results accurately.
  • Support engineers in troubleshooting hardware, instrumentation, or test-equipment issues.
  • Assist with post-test inspections and hardware removal following completion of testing.
  • Maintain test equipment, tooling, fixtures, cables, and laboratory areas.
  • Support equipment calibration and ensure test assets remain within their required calibration periods.

    Equipment Maintenance:
    Support the maintenance, calibration, and readiness of environmental test equipment and laboratory tooling.

    Troubleshooting:
    Work with engineers to identify and resolve issues encountered during test setup and execution.

    Safety & Quality:
    Ensure all activities are performed in accordance with safety, quality, configuration-control, and engineering requirements.
