Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end validation of new hardware from pumps and sensors to pressure vessels and electronics.
- Design and execute bench-level, environmental, and life-cycle tests.
- Develop and run field simulations (saltwater, shock/vibe, temperature, abuse testing).
- Lead root-cause investigations of field issues and drive corrective actions.
- Build test rigs (salt fog, temp/humidity cycling, etc.), break hardware, and feed that learning directly back into design.
- Work closely with R&D and manufacturing to define design margins, quality standards, and pass/fail criteria.
- Document tests, analyze results, and present findings across teams.
Job Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, or systems engineering (or equivalent hands-on experience).
- 2+ years of experience in hardware testing, validation, or reliability engineering.
- Strong hands-on skills with hardware test setups, instrumentation, and data collection.
- Experience with root cause analysis techniques (fishbone, 5 whys, etc.).
- Experience with high-pressure fluid systems, valves, seals, and pumps (preferred).
- Familiarity with environmental testing (salt fog, temp/humidity cycling, etc.) (preferred).
- Knowledge of reliability standards (e.g. HALT, HASS, Weibull analysis) (preferred).
