Mechanical Test Engineer
Overview
We are seeking a Mechanical Test Engineer to support the development, assembly, integration, and testing of precision mechanisms used in advanced space-flight systems. This role plays a key part in both new development and sustaining engineering activities, ensuring mechanisms meet performance, reliability, and quality standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and execute mechanical testing campaigns, including vibration, shock, thermal-vacuum (TVAC), and functional tests.
- Develop test requirements, procedures, materials, tooling, and documentation.
- Participate in iterative design improvements by feeding back findings from testing and production.
- Conduct design and system trade studies to optimise workflow efficiency, integration, testability, and production rate.
- Collaborate closely with design engineering to improve manufacturability, cost, and assembly flow.
- Generate reports by collecting, analysing, and summarising data from testing and operations.
- Investigate anomalies, perform root-cause analysis, and recommend solutions.
- Provide manufacturing engineering support to production teams.
Qualifications
- Degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering (or equivalent experience).
- Preferably 2+ years of experience in aerospace or similar high-reliability industries.
- Understanding of mechanism development and testing for complex hardware systems.
- Strong communication skills and ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
- Ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams.
- Must be eligible to work in the United States.
