Objectives of this Role:
- Collaborate on research and testing projects that include material tests, ballistic tests, energetic and explosive materials, high speed video analysis, implementation of stress/strain/temperature/laser diagnostics, and mechanical design.
- Ability to work in a team with strong communication, interpersonal skills, and participate in collaborative research projects.
- Develop approaches based on client problems, needs, and goals, and manage tasks to successful completion within technical, budget, and schedule constraints under moderate to minimal supervision.
- Using technical principles, theories, and concepts, design experiments to develop understanding and models of impact events. Write technical reports and make presentations to clients.
- Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with the ability to solve intricate problems.
Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:
- Work with interdisciplinary team of Engineers and Technicians to Test materials with MTS, Hopkinson Bar, Plate Impact, ballistic impact, etc.
- Develop algorithms in Matlab, Python, FORTRAN, or similar for analyzing data from high strain-rate and ballistic experiments and simulations.
- Use of lasers in various applications.
- Use of digital image correlation.
Requirements:
- Requires a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- 2-8 years: Experience with testing materials using universal testing machines.
- 2-8 years: Experience with testing materials at high strain rates.
- Experience with lasers or other types of radiation as well as experience with ballistics is a plus.
- A valid/clear driver's license is required.
