Job Summary:A technically proficient and detail-oriented Aerospace Valve Assembly and Testing Engineer to handle the end-to-end process of assembling, testing, and qualifying aerospace valves. The ideal candidate will also be responsible for conducting environmental tests as per MIL-STD requirements, ensuring all assemblies meet aerospace and defense compliance standards.Key Responsibilities:1. Valve Assembly:

Assemble aerospace-grade valves (e.g., solenoid, relief, check, control valves & Regulator) per engineering drawings, standard operating procedures, and customer specifications.

Ensure clean handling and ESD precautions for sensitive components.

Perform torquing, fitting, and sub-assembly integration with precision tools.

2. Functional and Pressure Testing:

Conduct hydrostatic, pneumatic, and flow testing for pressure validation.

Perform leak testing using helium mass spectrometry, bubble, or pressure decay methods.

Verify valve operation under varying flow and pressure conditions.

3. Environmental Testing (As per MIL Standards):Plan, prepare, and execute environmental tests as per MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-202, or customer-specified standards, such as:

Thermal cycling / thermal shock

High/low temperature operation and storage

Vibration testing (random/sine per MIL-STD-810 or DO-160)

Shock and drop tests

Humidity and salt spray/corrosion resistance

Altitude (low pressure) testing

Document and interpret environmental test results; escalate failures with root cause and corrective action plans.

Coordinate with environmental test labs (in-house or external) for schedule and logistics.

4. Quality and Documentation:

Interpret technical drawings, wiring diagrams (for electro-mechanical valves), and specifications.

Maintain traceable test reports, inspection records, and failure analysis documentation.

Prepare First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR) and validation documents for qualification programs.

Ensure compliance with AS9100, ISO 9001, and customer quality standards.

5. Cross-functional and Continuous Improvement:

Collaborate with design, production, and QA teams to resolve assembly and test issues.

Provide technical input on design for testability (DFT) and design for manufacturability (DFM).

Identify and drive process improvements for assembly and test efficiency.

6. Safety and Compliance:

Follow cleanroom, safety, and EHS protocols during test and assembly activities.

Ensure adherence to ITAR, RoHS, and other regulatory requirements as applicable to defense exports.

Required Qualifications:Education: Diploma in Mechanical, or equivalent.Experience: 2–6 years in aerospace component assembly and testing, including environmental testing exposure.Skills:

Hands-on knowledge of MIL-STD-810 / MIL-STD-202 testing.

Experience with test rigs, flow benches, pressure test equipment, thermal chambers, and vibration tables.

Proficient in GD&T, torque tools, and root cause analysis techniques.

Familiar with ERP and digital quality management systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with valves for ISRO, DRDO, HAL, or private aerospace vendors.

Knowledge of FAA, EASA, or DO-160 environmental testing standards.

Exposure to working in cleanroom or oxygen-cleaned environments.

Work Conditions:

May involve exposure to thermal chambers, high-decibel test areas, and pressurized systems.

Standing, lifting (up to 15 kg), and precision work under PPE may be required.

Occasional travel to testing labs or customer sites for validation/testing support.
