• Accurately record test conditions, measurements, observations, and results.
• Maintain traceability of samples and test documentation.
• Assist with equipment calibration, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and laboratory upkeep.
• Follow established quality, safety, cleanliness, and contamination-control procedures.
• Communicate testing issues, equipment concerns, or unusual results to engineering and laboratory leadership.
• Support multiple testing projects while maintaining accuracy and meeting customer deadlines.

Qualifications

• Associate degree or technical training in engineering technology, electronics, mechanical systems, materials science, aerospace, or a related field preferred.
• Previous experience in a laboratory, aerospace testing, environmental testing, manufacturing, or other highly controlled technical environment preferred.
• Experience with ASTM E595, vacuum systems, thermal-vacuum testing, outgassing testing, or aerospace materials testing is highly desirable.
• Comfortable working with precision measuring equipment and laboratory instrumentation.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to follow detailed technical procedures.
• Ability to accurately document measurements, test conditions, and results.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and problem-solving skills.
