May substitute equivalent engineering experience in lieu of education.
Experience in mechanical test engineering principles, including planning, scheduling, and executing test programs to meet milestones, with demonstrated project leadership.
Strong background in structural testing methodologies: static, fatigue, vibration, and combined loading.
Experience with environmental testing to aerospace and military standards (MIL-STD-810, RTCA/DO-160, or similar)
Knowledge of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, actuators, and high-load test systems.
Proficient with test equipment such as hydraulic frames, electrodynamic shakers, environmental chambers, and control systems.
