Job Title:
Instrumentation Technician

Location:
Wright Patterson AFB/ Dayton, OH

Canvas, Inc. is seeking an entry-level Instrumentation Technician for work at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

This position supports the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), which provides wind tunnel testing and experimentation services for the AFRL Aerospace Sciences Division.

The testing facility consists of a full spectrum of wind tunnel types and sizes that all require complex mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and high-pressure systems to generate the various air speeds involved in the research.

Instrumentation Technicians work as a part of a larger team that may consist of Project Engineers, Aerospace Engineers, Mechanical Technicians, Buyers and outside customers.

Together these personnel work toward the completion of Aerodynamic Validation Research.

Job Responsibilities / Abilities:

Support test preparation/execution/breakdown schedules generated by the test project engineers and guided by the Test Matrix.
Design, prepare, fabricate, assemble, install, modify, checkout, maintain, calibrate, operate, analyze, and conduct tear-down activities associated with various instrumentation systems as well as document those efforts. These systems are typically prototype models comprised of thermocouples, heat transfer gages, pressure transducers, acoustic pickup transducers, accelerometers, anemometers, load cells, and strain gage balances internal to the model.
Calibrate and install various sensors on the test article and/or wind tunnel as well as document those efforts. Calibrations shall be done on-site and involve calibrating sensor output levels against specification limits. Typical sensors used are accelerometers, microphones, pressure transducers, strain gage balances, heat transfer gages, and thermocouples.
Learn and be trained by senior technicians in this somewhat specialized niche of instrumentation and electronics. Current technicians each have more than 30 years of experience in Aerospace instrumentation and electronics.
