About the role

Pressure Vessel Test Technician to operate and maintain the hydrostatic test chamber, performing pressure testing on sealed vessels and pressurized components used in autonomous underwater vehicles, and ensuring structural integrity and watertight seals before production integration.

Responsibilities

  • Hydrostatic Test Execution: Set up, operate, and monitor the hydrostatic test chamber to perform pressure testing on sealed vessels, housings, and pressurized components. Follow established test procedures to pressurize components to specified levels, hold for required durations, and monitor for pressure loss or leaks.
  • Test Preparation and Fixturing: Prepare components for testing by installing fittings, plugs, seals, and connections. Verify test setup is correct before pressurization. Maintain and organize test fixtures, tooling, and support equipment.
  • Inspection and Defect Identification: Visually inspect components before, during, and after testing for leaks, pinholes, seal failures, weld deficiencies, or other nonconforming conditions. Identify and clearly document any anomalies found during testing.
  • Data Recording and Documentation: Accurately record all test parameters, results, and observations. Complete test reports and quality records in accordance with standard operating procedures. Interpret pressure gauge readings and calibration data to ensure testing accuracy.
  • Equipment Maintenance and Calibration: Perform routine maintenance on the test chamber, pumps, gauges, fittings, and related equipment. Support calibration activities and flag equipment that is out of tolerance or in need of repair.
  • Safety Compliance: Adhere strictly to all safety protocols for high-pressure testing operations. Maintain a clean and organized work area. Report any safety concerns, near-misses, or equipment malfunctions immediately.
  • Cross-Functional Coordination: Work with production teams, quality, and engineering to schedule tests, communicate results, and support troubleshooting when components do not pass. Provide feedback to engineering on recurring test failures or design concerns.
  • Process Improvement: Contribute to the development and refinement of test procedures, fixturing, and workflows. Identify opportunities to improve test efficiency, throughput, or reliability as the site scales.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience in a hands-on testing, inspection, or manufacturing technician role
  • Familiarity with pressure testing (hydrostatic or pneumatic), leak detection, or similar quality verification processes
  • Ability to read and work from technical documentation, engineering drawings, and test procedures
  • Strong attention to detail with a disciplined approach to following procedures and recording data accurately
  • Mechanical aptitude and comfort working with high-pressure systems, pumps, fittings, and gauges
  • Effective communicator who can clearly document and convey test results to engineering and production teams
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
