- Familiarity with data acquisition equipment and test instrumentation: pressure transducers, thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors, relays.
- Knowledge of HVAC systems and air ducting.
- Proficiency in NX or other CAD software, with a solid understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y and tolerance stack-up analysis.
- Experience with structural analysis methods to optimize hardware for strength requirements and evaluate for life and fracture.
- Experience with pressurized structures and/or lightweight aerospace structures.
- Ability to work independently.
Additional Requirements:
- Willingness to work extended hours as necessary.
Compensation and Benefits:
