Vibration engineer vs flight test engineer

Differences between vibration engineer and flight test engineer duties and responsibilities

Vibration engineer example responsibilities.

• Manage Jenkins security by providing specific access to authorize developers/testers using project base matrix authorization strategy.
• Perform transfer path analysis to root cause dominant paths and contributions to NVH performance issues.
• Create and review dynamic FEA models in PATRAN/NASTRAN.
• Develop comparisons of competition for vehicle air bind using LMS software.
• Develop a frequency-base stencil for condition base monitoring and accepting/rejecting transmissions and torque converters base on NVH.
• Develop simulation strategies for designing and evaluating ultrasonic horns and transducers using vibration finite element analysis (FEA).

Flight test engineer example responsibilities.

• Track and manage team budget, schedule, risks, change information, BOMs, labor and materials costs.
• Manage Terraform and refactore from monolithic to application specific components.
• Create complex flight test plans to meet DoD and FAA requirements.
• Test facility engineer (TFE) responsible for design and development of test rigs, test stands, and fixtures.
• Maintain a DOD secret security clearance.
• Support both STC approval and design qualification.
