Site Overview

Role Overview:

• Lead design and validation of mechanical fixtures and custom test equipment to support ultrasound inspection and material/structure evaluations.
• Apply solid mechanics and ultrasound wave propagation principles to design experiments, interpret results, and recommend design/process changes. Develop 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, and specifications; collaborate with vendors for fabrication and rapid iteration.
• Plan and execute structured experiments (DOE where appropriate); establish standard work, calibration methods, and measurement system analyses.
• Build and instrument lab/bench test setups. Analyze test and ultrasound data; generate concise technical reports, visualizations, and recommendations for engineering and manufacturing stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Strong foundation in solid mechanics and ultrasound wave propagation.
• Hands-on experimental techniques, including test planning, instrumentation, and data acquisition.
• Proven experience designing fixtures and custom test equipment.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (e.g., NX, Creo, SolidWorks) and creating manufacturable drawings.

Desired Qualifications

• Knowledge of ultrasound inspection methods (e.g., bulk wave, guided wave, phased array, immersion/contact techniques).

• Advanced data analysis skills and programming for prototyping/automation (e.g., Python/NumPy/Pandas, MATLAB, LabVIEW).

• Experience with signal processing, feature extraction, and basic machine learning for inspection data.

• Humble: respectful, receptive, agile, eager to learn

• Transparent: shares critical information, speaks with candor, contributes constructively

• Focused: quick learner, strategically prioritizes work, committed

• Leadership ability: strong communicator, decision-maker, collaborative

• Problem solver: analytical-minded, challenges existing processes, critical thinker.
