About the role
What you will do:
Own the environmental test plan for the integrated antenna structure - vibration, shock, acoustic, and TVAC - from requirements flow-down to test report.
Define test levels and acceptance/qualification margins based on launch vehicle environments and system-level requirements, working with the structures analyst and IAS lead.
Coordinate with test facilities (in-house and external) to plan, schedule, and execute test campaigns for the stowed antenna assembly.
Instrument and fixture test articles; develop test procedures, pre-test predictions, and test-as-you-fly configurations.
Perform real-time data monitoring during test execution; make go/no-go calls and manage test anomaly response in accordance with procedures.
Own post-test inspection, data reduction, and correlation of test results against pre-test predictions.
Document test results; maintain test verification closure records in the V&V matrix.
Required qualifications:
BS or MS or Ph.D. in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.
Experience planning and executing structural environmental test campaigns - vibration, shock, or thermal-vacuum - for flight or high-reliability hardware.
Experience with fixturing, instrumentation (accelerometers, strain gauges, RTDs/PRTs), and data acquisition systems.
Ability to develop pre-test predictions and interpret post-test data against FEA model outputs.
Familiarity with MIL-STD-1540, GEVS, or equivalent environmental test standards.
Preferred qualifications:
Experience with large or flexible structures - solar arrays, booms, deployable antennas, or membrane/gossamer systems - where conventional rigid-body fixturing assumptions break down.
TVAC deployment testing experience, or equivalent thermal-vacuum test of mechanism or deployable hardware.
Experience with model-test correlation and understanding of how fixturing and test-article mass affect frequency response.
Familiarity with structural dynamics analysis tools (Nastran, ANSYS, or equivalent).
