Qualifications

• and system capabilities.
• Utilize CAD software (Creo, SolidWorks) to create detailed 3D models and drawings of mechanical systems, with GD&T applied for precision alignment and repeatability.
• Generate and maintain Requirement Documents, Calibration Procedures, and Test System Specifications to ensure alignment between product and test design intent.
• Participate in supplier design reviews and qualification of external test and calibration equipment.
• Testing, Validation, and Calibration:
• Develop and validate test procedures, calibration methods, and verification plans for measurement systems and mechanical fixtures.
• Ensure measurement system analysis (MSA), gage R&R, and traceability to NIST or equivalent standards in all calibration processes.
• Conduct statistical evaluations of test data to assess system reliability, repeatability, and reproducibility.
• Analyze performance results and implement design improvements to maintain precision, accuracy, and robustness under production conditions.
• Collaborate with electronics and software engineers to define mechanical interfaces for automated test systems and integrate sensors into data acquisition platforms.
• Maintenance and Troubleshooting:
• Diagnose and resolve issues with jigs, fixtures, or test systems, including alignment errors, sensor drift, and calibration failures.

Responsibilities

• As a Senior Mechanical Engineer in Test Development Engineering, you will play a critical role in the design, validation, and sustainment of precision assembly, test, and calibration equipment.
• You will be responsible for designing and maintaining jigs, fixtures, and metrology test systems that ensure product performance, repeatability, and compliance with quality standards.
• You will also manage documentation, test protocols, and calibration procedures to ensure long-term reliability and compliance of test and measurement assets.
• Design and Development:
• Conceptualize, design, and document assembly jigs, test fixtures, and precision metrology systems to support both production and validation testing.
• Develop custom calibration and test instruments, including mechanical, pneumatic, and electro-mechanical assemblies for high-accuracy measurements.
• Integrate sensors, load cells, displacement transducers, pressure gauges, and other instrumentation into test systems to support product calibration and verification.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Design, Manufacturing, Quality, Calibration Labs, and Contract Manufacturers) to define test
