Department Overview The Environmental Test Laboratory simulates real-world environments for component handling and transport, storage, flight, and delivery to ensure reliability. Laboratory testing on manufactured products and products in development include a variety of environments and situations to ensure quality and proper functionality. Materials are tested to determine long‑term effects of temperature and humidity and verification of product design by simulation of the dynamic, climatic, and/or electrical end‑use conditions. Product limits and tolerances are established by over‑test simulation scenarios of end‑use conditions to develop safety margins for manufactured components. Duties and Responsibilities Makes setup of testing and mechanical support equipment, monitoring and measuring instruments and other apparatus and performs a wide variety of testing of materials, such as breadboard circuitry, prototype units and production units, production units and electronic circuitry. Includes programming equipment to different simulations in outdoor environments and the mechanical support, testing/operation of special equipment in field support activities. Support consists of both technical bench and field set‑up / deployment / retrieval and repairs with travel to remote site areas as required. Builds prototypes for testing and experimentation and makes samples for further analysis. Conducts tests and experiments with new materials, equipment, and processes to develop data for specification call‑out or to determine suitability of a material for particular applications. Evaluates test results for validity, accuracy and completeness. Performs chemical processing and mechanical evaluations as applicable. Locates and corrects malfunctions in product and testing equipment. Performs post‑mortem analyses to determine exact reasons for failure. Drafts calibrating and operating procedures based upon comprehensive knowledge of product and testing equipment. Makes sketches and marks up drawings as needed to show changes as they occur. Maintains appropriate primary and secondary metrology standards, test laboratory equipment or control consoles and associated monitoring, measuring and recording instruments; and calibrates equipment, instruments, electrical/electronic standards and standards of mass, force, dimension and other phenomena during or after maintenance, and on regularly scheduled calibration dates. Records laboratory notes and other details, as specified by engineering personnel. Works with Management/Engineering to establish test techniques for new product during development and to resolve product or equipment problems. Improves and refines existing fixtures, devices, methods, process steps or procedures, implementing changes as necessary. Uses all equipment, techniques and tools necessary to completion of the task. Conducts activities in a safe and healthy manner and works in accordance with established HS&E requirements to ensure the protection of employees, the public, and the environment. Takes actions necessary to stop work when an unsafe condition or action is identified. Every employee has the right and responsibility to stop work when unsafe conditions or actions are identified.
