About the role:

We are seeking an enthusiastic and detail-oriented test engineering technician to help support hardware-focused validation testing of intelligent aerial vehicles and ground equipment within a team dedicated to maximizing product reliability for our customers.

How you'll make an impact:

  • Support test setup, instrumentation, execution, checkpoint and tear down inspections for a variety of performance, reliability and environmental stress tests for our flying and ground based hardware using a broad range of lab equipment
  • Work closely with test engineers to understand the item under test, execution procedures, data requirements, and potential failure modes of each test to ensure the earliest possible detection of issues
  • Develop and fabricate custom test fixtures and infrastructure to add capability, improve repeatability, and save time through automation
  • Document and escalate test failures quickly; collaborate with reliability, mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams to perform failure analysis and ensure the product continuously improves through all stages of development
  • Optimize execution efficiency with preventative maintenance on equipment and helping to ensure a high standard for safety and organization within the lab
  • What makes you a good fit:

  • Acute attention to detail - able to identify subtle degradations in mechanical feel or system performance that may be precursors to test failures
  • Proactive and curious; you anticipate needs, identify areas to improve efficiency and work towards these goals without explicit prompting to support the team
  • Hands-on and fabrication technical skills and experience with wire harnesses, 80/20, light machining and/or woodworking (or a knack and an eagerness to learn)
  • Solid computer skills including documentation, web research, and executing linux commands and python scripts
  • Excellent written & verbal communication
  • Compensation Range: The annual base salary range for this position is $80,000 - $135,000. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience.
