Overview

Hands-on instrumentation and metrology role. Primary focus is instrumentation, calibration, measurement and test-support work on servo-hydraulic structural test systems. Role also carries a defined secondary responsibility for supporting test-control, data-acquisition and operational-technology (OT) systems that those tests depend on, working alongside Test Specialists, Electrical Engineers and Corporate IT.

Position Summary:

- Provides instrumentation, electrical, calibration, metrology, quality-system support to the Test Department, in close collaboration with Test Specialists, Senior Electrical Engineer.
- Ensures measurement systems are accurate, traceable, standards-compliant and suitable for development, qualification, certification, production and customer-witness testing.
- Provides day-to-day support, first-line troubleshooting for test-control and data-acquisition systems used to run structural and servo-hydraulic tests, escalating deeper configuration, lifecycle work as needed.
- May also support selected production electrical tooling repair, calibration activities, in coordination with system-integration engineers.
- Primary Responsibilities — Instrumentation, Calibration & MetrologyCore of roleHands-on instrumentation, calibration, measurement and fabricationInstrumentation & Test Support
- Provide electrical and instrumentation support to all test activities across development, qualification, certification and production programs.
- Install, maintain, troubleshoot and repair instrumentation, control wiring and data-acquisition systems.
- Work from and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, instrumentation loop drawings, control-panel drawings.
- Support Flight Test Instrumentation (FTI) activities including sourcing and installation of sensors, strain gauges, wiring, adhesives, coatings and associated hardware.
- Fabricate control panels, junction boxes, interface boxes, harnesses, test fixtures, including wiring documentation.

Calibration & Measurement Systems

- Procure, organize, manage, calibrate and control inventories of instrumentation and measurement equipment.
- Perform calibrations and verification of force, pressure, displacement, torque and temperature measurement systems.
- Support calibration and verification of load cells, force systems, pressure transducers, LVDTs, displacement sensors,



torque systems, RTDs, thermocouples, related instrumentation.
- Manage calibration schedules, certificates, records, traceability documentation.

Applied Metrology & Standards Compliance

- Interpret and implement ASTM E4, ASTM E74, ISO/IEC 17025 principles, ISA, ANSI, ASME, aerospace and OEM requirements.
- Understand and apply measurement-uncertainty, accuracy, precision, repeatability, reproducibility, traceability principles.
- Review calibration certificates and uncertainty statements for compliance and suitability.
- Maintain traceability to recognized national/international standards

Duties

- Test-Control & Data-Acquisition Support
- Provide day-to-day operational support for MTS AeroPro / FlexTest test-control systems, HBM QuantumX data acquisition and HBM Catman software environments — set-up, first-line troubleshooting and routine maintenance.
- Support LabVIEW-based automated testing and data-acquisition applications, and assist with NI CompactRIO (cRIO) / field-I/O test stations, escalating development and complex configuration work to specialists or vendors.
- Help maintain compatibility between controller hardware, DAQ systems, operating systems, firmware, drivers and application software when instrumentation or channels change.

Systems, Data & OT Awareness

- Maintain the computer systems, software installations, licensing, drivers and validated configurations that run the test stations, following controlled software and firmware baselines.
- Maintain backup and recovery of controller configurations, Catman projects, LabVIEW applications, calibration files and test-data archives.
- Respect and help maintain IT/OT segregation of the test systems — coordinating with Corporate IT to preserve validated test environments while supporting cybersecurity and compliance requirements.
- Support obsolescence and lifecycle awareness for controllers, DAQ hardware and computers, and act as a first point of contact with test-system vendors (MTS, HBK/HBM, National Instruments) for support and licensing.

Quality Management System Requirements

- Support internal quality procedures, customer requirements and regulatory obligations derived from ISO 9001, AS9100 and ISO/IEC 17025 principles.
- Maintain controlled procedures, equipment-status records,



calibration databases and technical documentation.
- Ensure instrumentation and test records support data integrity, traceability and audit readiness.
- Support audits, corrective actions, continuous-improvement initiatives and document-control processes.

Technical Competencies
Primary

- Instrumentation systems, sensor technologies, signal conditioning and data acquisition.
- Force, pressure, displacement, temperature, torque and strain measurement systems.
- Wiring, soldering, crimping and connectorization.
- Reading electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, instrumentation loop drawings and control-panel drawings.
- Calibration-program administration, metrology practices and measurement assurance.
- Supporting / an asset
- Familiarity with MTS AeroPro / FlexTest, HBM QuantumX / Catman and NI LabVIEW / CompactRIO platforms.
- Windows OS administration, backups, configuration management and OT/ICS awareness, including cybersecurity fundamentals.

Requirements

- Education:
- Diploma or Advanced Diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology, Electronics Engineering Technology, Instrumentation Engineering Technology, Mechatronics Engineering Technology, or equivalent technical discipline.
- Experience
- Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in instrumentation, calibration and metrology — industrial controls, engineering testing or laboratory environments.
- Experience supporting aerospace, automotive, industrial, structural or hydraulic testing programs is preferred.
- An asset: hands-on experience supporting computerized test systems and data-acquisition platforms — MTS AeroPro, FlexTest, HBM QuantumX, Catman, LabVIEW or CompactRIO — and working within OT/ICS or validated test environments.Ideal Candidate Profile
- A hands-on instrumentation and metrology technologist who combines practical test-support skills with solid calibration and measurement rigor, and who is comfortable also supporting the test-control, data-acquisition and operational-technology systems that structural testing depends on. Works independently, is equally at home on the test floor and in a structured quality environment, and helps ensure the validity of engineering test data.

Secondary Responsibilities — Test-Control, DAQ & OT Support

- Supporting scope
- Keeping the test-control and data-acquisition systems running, with escalation for deeper work
