This role lets you dive into the world of high-stakes engineering, where your work directly contributes to life-saving innovations and top-notch performance standards.
Role Overview
As a Senior Environmental Test Engineer, you’ll play a hands-on role in planning, designing, and executing a range of rigorous tests to validate that materials meet both design and customer specifications. You’ll oversee the entire test process, from planning through to post-test analysis and reporting, using your expertise in testing programs and military/civilian standards.
What You’ll Be Doing

- Vibration & Shock response Spectrum (SRS) and mechanical shock testing
- Static load, climatic, and temperature shock testing
- Environmental and pyrotechnic/explosive testing
- Instron Machine, salt fog, and SO2 testing
- Knowledge of Military and Civilian Test Standards
Team Structure & Working Environment
- Work within a 5-member team with close collaboration among Environmental Test and Electro-Mechanical teams.
- Hybrid work arrangement (2 days remote, office attendance as required by testing needs).
Benefits
