Hardware Test Engineer - Mechanics

Develop and execute detailed mechanical test plans, including stress, vibration, shock, drop, and thermal cycling tests. Simulate real-world conditions using test rigs, hydraulic actuators, and environmental chambers to evaluate product endurance. Use precision instruments (calipers, strain gauges, accelerometers) to collect and analyze accurate test data. Identify mechanical failures, perform root-cause analysis, and collaborate with design engineers to propose improvements. Design and implement test routines for validating mechanical robustness of electronic hardware. Maintain comprehensive documentation of testing procedures, results, and insights. Ensure calibration, maintenance, and correct operation of all testing equipment. Stay up to date with testing methodologies, reliability engineering practices, and industry standards.
