About the Job

Requirements

A Bachelor of Science in Engineering or a related field.
Five years of equivalent engineering experience.
Previous experience testing with hazards.
Previous high-voltage electrical testing experience.
High proficiency with Microsoft Office, Bluebeam or Acrobat, and 3D modeling programs.
Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 pounds.
Ability to type, stand, stoop, climb, or sit for extended periods.
Ability to work onsite five days per week when assembly operations with relevant tools are underway, with possible alternating first- or second-shift assignment.
Ability to work in a facility containing industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead, high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics.
Compliance with U.S. Export Control Laws is required; an employment offer is contingent on this compliance.

Responsibilities

Prepare, execute, and close all related SPARC Assembly test activities.
Develop proficiency in defined specialized test methods from engineering and equipment-operation perspectives, including tests that introduce complexity or hazards for design verification, such as low voltage, high voltage, and high stored energy.
Scout field assets to support test-instruction or procedure planning.
Review and approve test procedures and instructions to confirm scope is understood and potential risks for engineering and technician teams are identified and mitigated.
Collaborate with technicians on pre-test walkdowns of units or devices under test, sensors, adjacent components, subsystems, systems, or infrastructure to assess scope and recognize hazards when warranted.
Collaborate with technicians to build custom test equipment or features and conduct mock-up testing for training and risk reduction purposes before functional testing.
Develop proficiency with SPARC Assembly workflow management software for test activities.
Provide engineering direction when preparation or execution impediments occur, troubleshoot, and decide whether field changes align with procedural intent.
Ensure activities comply with CFS safety policies and applicable regulatory safety standards.
Ensure field activities follow CFS standards, standards published by regulatory bodies including NFPA, ASME, ASTM, NET, OSHA, and NIOSH, and industry best practices.
Reinforce test performance standards, including pre-job briefs, procedural place-keeping, procedural use and adherence, conservative decision-making, monitoring critical parameters, accurate data capture, and attention to detail.
Validate preliminary test outcomes as pass, fail, or uncertain and communicate concise rationale to integrated stakeholders.
Collaborate with technicians to fully demobilize the field and properly stow inventory items.
Provide formal Test Engineering approval and signature for required test reports.
Debrief the test engineering team on performance and procedure feedback to apply lessons learned, prevent recurrence of errors, and improve technician execution when appropriate.
Occasionally accommodate off-normal work hours to support critical test activities.

Desired Qualifications

OSHA 10.
NFPA 70E.

Support planning functions by scouting field assets for test instruction or procedure planning
Review and approve test procedures / instructions to ensure understanding of scope and identify & mitigate potential risks within both the engineering and technician teams
Collaborate with the technician team to execute a pre-test walkdown of unit or device under test, sensor, adjacent components, subsystems, systems or infrastructure to assess correct scope and hazard recognition when warranted
Collaborate with the technician team to execute custom builds of test equipment / features & mock-up testing for training / derisking purposes (pre-functional testing)
Develop software proficiency with SPARC Assembly workflow management for all test activities
Provide engineering direction when preparatory or execution impedances are encountered via simple or complex troubleshooting - decide between procedural intent and non-intent changes in the field
Adhere to the highest standards of safety and ensure that activities taking place are being performed in strict accordance with CFS safety policies and applicable regulatory safety standards
Ensure that activities being performed in the field are conducted in accordance with CFS Standards, standards published by regulatory bodies (NFPA, ASME, ASTM, NET, OSHA, NIOSH, etc.) and Industry Best Practices
Reinforce test performance standards - pre-job briefs, procedural place keeping, procedural use and adherence, conservative bias, diligent monitoring of critical parameters, correct data capture, attention to detail, etc.
Validate preliminary test outcomes - PASS, FAIL, UNCERTAIN with clear and succinct rationale / communication to integrated stakeholders
Collaborate with technician team to ensure full demobilization in the field / proper stowage of all inventory items.
Formal Test Engineering approval for all required test reports - signature authority
Debrief the test engineering team on performance / procedure feedback to leverage lessons learned, prevent error recurrence and optimize flow for ease of technician execution when deemed prudent
Occasional accommodation of off-normal work hours to support critical test activities

What we’re looking for:

BS in Engineering or related field
5 Years of equivalent engineering experience
Previous testing experience with hazards
Previous electrical testing experience (high voltage)
High proficiency MS Office, Bluebeam or Acrobat, and 3D modeling programs

Bonus points for:

OSHA 10
NFPA 70E

Must-have Requirements:

Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
Perform activities such as typing, standing, stooping, climbing or sitting for extended periods of time
Required onsite 5 days/week when assembly operations with relevant tools are underway, with possible alternating first or second shift assignment
Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
