Teams at Salient Motion

Lead full-lifecycle development of mission-critical electromechanical and aerospace hardware, from requirements definition and precision mechanism design through prototyping, assembly, testing, and qualification. Design actuators, mechanisms, and ruggedized avionics enclosures; perform strength, fatigue, and lifecycle analyses; create SolidWorks models and GD&T drawings; qualify hardware to DO-160 and MIL-STD-810; coordinate suppliers, resolve manufacturing deviations, and support cross-functional integration.

Plans, writes, and executes mechanical qualification, acceptance, durability, and environmental test campaigns for actuators and integrated LRUs. Designs test fixtures, instrumentation, load setups, and data acquisition configurations; analyzes test data and mechanical failure modes; and drives corrective actions with design engineering. Coordinates outsourced labs, customer acceptance testing, schedules, witness points, and requirements under DO-160G and MIL-STD-810H. Supports development of an in-house qualification laboratory and requires international travel.

Designs electrical systems and circuit boards for modular motion-control components serving industrial, aerospace, and defense markets. Responsibilities include requirements development, component selection, schematic capture, Altium board layout, manufacturing and test documentation, instrumentation selection, test-data review, design verification testing, and candidate interviews.
