Instrumentation & Data Acquisition Engineer

For quick consideration apply hereProvide senior electrical engineering expertise focusing in the area of test instrumentation. Analyze complex features of the work and apply principles and practices of structural testing, or devise new approaches in problem solutions. Review all results from assigned tasks and determine if outputs are complete, correct, integrated with project objectives, and adequately documented. Follow existing processes and procedures and recommend process improvements where appropriate. Serve as the focal point for the maintenance of existing inventories, equipment calibration coordinator, generation of equipment requirement specifications, oversight and coordination of instrumentation activities required in the Structural Strength Test Team. Instrumentation includes, but is not limited to, strain gauges (metal and composites; ambient and temperature extremes), load cells, pressure transducers, deflection transducers, and thermocouples. Coordinate, oversee, troubleshoot and manage instrumentation activities while assisting the measurement acquisition system engineer, directing technician work force and coordinating with the test engineer. BS degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Electrical Engineering or related field from an ABET accredited institution with a minimum of 8 years experience in structural test instrumentation is required.
