Work is primarily performed in climate-controlled laboratory and office environments within a multi-building campus of specialized test facilities. Test Engineers regularly work in test laboratories supporting environmental and mechanical testing activities, as well as in standard office areas for project planning, data analysis, and reporting. Some duties may occasionally be performed in warehouse or non-climate-controlled areas when supporting test setup, equipment movement, or customer hardware handling. The role involves frequent use of computer-automated and manual test equipment, including data acquisition systems, environmental chambers, vibration and shock systems, and measurement transducers. Depending on the specific laboratory and test requirements, use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses, hearing protection, and safety footwear, may be required in designated areas. The organization is recognized for superior customer service and technical excellence and operates in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment that supports a broad range of aerospace, telecommunications, military, and industrial test programs.
