Our Company

Whisper Aero is pioneering a more compelling and connected future by delivering cleaner, quieter, and more efficient propulsion solutions. Today's open rotor propulsion systems are challenged by safety, noise, and performance limitations at all scales. Whisper's breakthrough technologies allow aircraft to fly anywhere at any time without disturbing communities, at greater speeds, and with incredible improvements in efficiency and cost. Their innovations also enable a new generation of air moving products that can blend into the soundscapes of daily life. Whisper was founded by industry veterans, Mark Moore and Ian Villa, and continues to innovate a future that's as considerate as it is compelling with its world-class team in Tennessee.

About the Role

Whisper Aero is seeking a Test Technician to support Air Management in Nashville, TN. As a Test Technician at Whisper Aero, you will help bring innovative air management products to the market by supporting our test lab and test execution. This role is ideal for a hands-on, detail-oriented individual with a passion for data collection, conducting tests, and supporting new product development. You will ensure the test area runs smoothly, execute existing test procedures, set up test fixtures, run instrumentation, and keep data organized and accessible in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.

What You'll Do

• Keep benches, equipment, and supplies organized and clean. Track inventory of consumables (e.g., sensors, cables, fasteners) and reorder as needed.
• Assemble and position test fixtures per documented instructions, ensuring all sensors, power supplies, and data acquisition hardware are properly connected.
• Follow step-by-step procedures for performance, environmental, safety, and reliability tests. Monitor runs, note any anomalies, and alert engineers to unexpected behaviors.
• Log each test execution as a JIRA ticket : record status, attach data exports, and flag blockers. Maintain Confluence pages with up-to-date test schedules, protocol versions, and result summaries
• Capture raw measurements in Excel or specified Office templates, while clearly labelling files and folders.
• Perform routine checks on sensors, meters, and fixtures. Schedule and log calibration events for equipment.
• Suggest small lab workflow enhancements (e.g., labeling systems, fixture tweaks). Assist engineers with ad hoc requests as testing needs evolve.
