  • ● Demonstrated ownership of environmental test campaigns, from specification through execution to reporting.
  • ● Practical mastery of precision mechanical assembly (torque and preload, locking methods, bonded and inserted joints, alignment and dimensional verification) and of composite hardware, including its handling and inspection constraints.
  • ● Ability to read mechanical drawings, CAD models, GD&T and interface control documents, and to translate them into procedures others can execute.
  • ● Strong track record of enabling design for manufacturing, assembly and testability (DFM, DFA, DFT), working alongside design teams rather than after them.
  • ● Familiarity with verification and configuration management in complex hardware industries, including root cause analysis and non-conformance ownership through to closure.

  • ● Non-destructive inspection interpretation on bonded or composite structures.
  • ● Hands-on operation of environmental test equipment, or involvement in its acceptance and commissioning.
  • ● Automated test scripting (Python or equivalent), and familiarity with PLM, ERP, Manufacturo (MES) or Jira for build records and configuration control.
