Job Summary
The Durability Instrumentation Technician is responsible for the installation maintenance troubleshooting and calibration of various instrumentation and data acquisition systems used in durability testing. This will include Instrumentation for RLDAs and support testing of components subsystems and vehicles. This role is critical in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of test data collected during physical testing which is used to validate product life and performance under various load and environmental conditions.
Top Skill/Responsibilities:
- Instrumentation Setup: Install wire and configure sensors (e.g. strain gauges accelerometers thermocouples pressure transducers displacement transducers and WFTs) on test articles (vehicles or components) according to engineering specifications and schematics.
- Strain Gauge Usage: Lay and wire strain gauges on components to output for data acquisition.
- Data Acquisition (DAQ): Set up program and operate various DAQ systems for data collection during physical tests (e.g. road load data acquisition component testing and 329 testing)
- Vehicle Data Interface: Setup onboard vehicle data (e.g. CAN) and integrate it with external sensors.
- Calibration and Validation: Perform routine and preventative maintenance calibration and validation checks on all instrumentation to ensure accuracy and traceability to established standards.
