Responsibilities

As a Environmental Test Technician at Shield AI, you'll prepare, execute, and manage environmental tests on electronic flight hardware across the VBAT and XBAT aircraft, ensuring it meets performance requirements through rigorous thermal, vibration, shock, humidity, and altitude testing. This is a highly hands-on role. Working with design and reliability stakeholders, you'll help define test plans — stress profiles, setup, and instrumentation — then bring them to the bench: installing test articles, instrumenting hardware with thermocouples, accelerometers, strain gauges, and humidity sensors, configuring data acquisition, and programming and loading chambers. You'll frequently run several campaigns at once, prioritizing tests as needed to keep them moving without compromising data quality.
Once tests are running, you'll operate the equipment, monitor for and investigate failures, and reduce and document results in clear reports — including the plots and visualizations stakeholders rely on to make disposition and qualification decisions. You'll work with cutting-edge deep-tech hardware, collaborate across disciplines, and directly influence product quality and long-term reliability over the vehicles’ lifecycles.
Operate and continuously improve a world-class environmental test lab for electronics that includes HALT/HASS chambers, thermal-humidity chambers, vibration/shock equipment, and data acquisition equipment.
Develop and implement lab procedures for use of environmental test equipment, test setup and tear down, data acquisition, and test reporting.
Perform reliability tests on electronic products, including thermal cycling, temperature-humidity soaks, HALT, HASS, vibration, and shock testing.
Develop lab best-practices, including automation of data acquisition, defining test plans, documenting test results, and management of tests.
Manage procurement and maintenance of lab consumables, including instrumentation, adhesives, fasteners, and fixtures.
Oversee the maintenance, organization, and safety of all laboratory equipment and work areas.
Work with external laboratories to perform environmental tests as necessary.
Educate stakeholders on environmental test best-practices to improve test plans and design-for-test practices.
Stay current with industry trends, advancements, and best practices in all aspects of environmental testing and equipment.
