Occupation
Environmental Test Technician
Environmental Test Technicians conduct qualification and validation testing on aerospace and satellite hardware using specialized equipment such as thermal vacuum chambers, vibration shakers, and acoustic test systems to simulate the extreme conditions components will encounter in space. The work involves setting up test configurations, operating complex instrumentation, monitoring data collection, maintaining detailed documentation, and troubleshooting equipment issues—typically in manufacturing or laboratory facilities on shift schedules. The role suits mechanically minded individuals with hands-on experience in manufacturing or testing environments who can work independently and, at senior levels, mentor junior technicians and lead complex test programs.
