• Support experimental hemodynamics / optical flow visualization test scheduling and execution to meet project timelines at clients Irvine advanced imaging and hemodynamics test facility.
• Support article/fixtures build including instrumentation.
• Support parts build across internal and external suppliers as directed by model design team.
• Author/Co-Author SOP, IQ, TMV Protocols and Reports, as well as DV Protocols and Reports
• Assist with assembly instrumentation including connection to data acquisition equipment.
• Ensure physical test setup and acquired data meets quality standards.
• Ensure safety as a number one priority for test article build, setup and test execution.

The minimum requirements we seek:

• Graduate degree (Thesis based Masters or PhD) in Engineering or Applied Physics with focus on Experimental Fluid Mechanics
• Proven publication record in Experimental Fluid Mechanics (digital copies of the articles will be requested to evaluate competency)
• Hands-on skills relating to 2D2C Particle Image Velocimetry within LaVision DaVis environment, including data postprocessing/analysis externally using MATLAB.
• Hands-on skills relating to testing of flow instabilities in the closed fluid loop and physical assembly of components, including the use of various hand and power tools.
• Hands-on skills relating to CAD modelling using Solidworks.
• Technologically inclined and competent using windows-based programs.
• Excellent attention to details in both physical and computer environments
• Logical thinker with good judgement and decision-making abilities
• Ability to work with commitment and accuracy under pressure to successfully meet deadlines.
