Mechanical Testing Engineer

About Novineer Novineer develops AI-powered engineering software for additive manufacturing, reverse engineering, and toolpath-aware simulation. We validate our software by testing real printed parts and comparing measured behavior with simulation predictions. Role Overview We are seeking a hands-on engineer to plan, instrument, run, and analyze mechanical tests on additively manufactured polymer and composite parts. This role will support tensile, compressive, shear, and bending tests, as well as application-specific test setups, using strain gauges, extensometers, digital image correlation (DIC), and load-frame data. RESPONSIBILITIES Plan and run ASTM-style mechanical tests: tensile, compression, shear, bending, and part-level validation. Prepare specimens; bond strain gauges; manage wiring; configure bridge circuits; perform shunt calibration. Set up extensometers and DIC systems; compare full-field, local, and extensometer strain measurements. Operate MTS or equivalent load frames and DAQ systems while ensuring alignment, calibration, and repeatability. Analyze load, displacement, strain, stiffness, modulus, Poisson’s ratio, failure load, failure strain, and failure mode/location. Compare experimental results with simulation predictions and diagnose sources of mismatch. Write clear procedures, calibration records, test reports, data summaries, and engineering recommendations. REQUIREMENTS Must be eligible to legally work in the U.S. (OPT is acceptable). B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical, Aerospace, Materials Science, or a related engineering field. Hands-on experience with mechanical testing and experimental data analysis. ASTM D638, D695, and D7078 mechanical testing standards. Experience with at least three: strain gauges, extensometers, DIC, load frames, DAQ, MTS/TestSuite, or LabVIEW. Strong understanding of stress/strain, modulus, Poisson’s ratio, shear, anisotropy, and failure analysis. Ability to process test data in Excel, Python, or similar tools. Careful attention to calibration, gauge bonding, wiring, alignment, uncertainty, repeatability, and documentation. Why Join Us?
