• Utilize data acquisition systems.
• Prepare test specimens and assemble prototype parts.
• Set up and perform experiments based on project requirements.
• Install test instruments and connect instrumentation wiring.
• Transfer liquid cryogens by various means.
• Compile, analyze, and reduce data to critical events.
• Design and fabricate test fixtures and prepare simulation bench tests where necessary.
• Document methods & results in technical reports.
• Develop and manage DVP&R’s based on the output of the DFMEA’s.
• Observe and practice safety procedures and policies.
• Work with interdepartmental teams to ensure continuous compliance to ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 standards.
• Identify testing and validation requirements to develop test protocol with minimal information.
• Propose design changes based on test data results.

Your Physical Work Environment Will Require...
