Tests I made at my previous roles
Picatinny Arsenal:
MIL-STD-810 Method 506 Rain test:
To asses the ability to withstand rain and water ingress. Helps to determine a fuze's reliability to operatin in vaiorus envirnomental conditions including involving rainfall
Another aspect is to ensure safety when exposed to rain or water spray during storage, transport, or operation.
MIL-STD 810 was used as a standard for the rian test
Participated in the Simulated Rain and Spray tests. The simulated rain subjefcted the fuze to controleld rainfall conditions in an open space to mimic real-world exposure. The spray test included spraying water at different angles and pressures to simulate various rain conditions more accurately.
test resutls like observations, measurements, or any failures are documented
What we were looking for was erosion on surfaces, swelling or straight reduction on some materials, any rust, corrosion, or crack, that could disrupt electrical or electromechanical components.
Attatched a scope to the fuze in order to compare with normal operation. So unwanted voltage spikes or unwanted added noise or vercurrents were considered in order to analyze reliability.
EPIAFS(Enhaned Portable Inductive Artillery Fuze Setter):
Helped in the development and testing of EPIAFS boards
Worked with power suppies, waveform generators, and socilliscopes in order to do simple tests on PCBs
Worked in High voltage lab and encorperated safety precedures
Worked in the potting lab
Used high power microscpes
Used soldering equipment to desolder and measure passive components or replace components
RF Chamber testing:
Develpment PCB testing:
Research on new chips for wireless capabilities and testing
