Test Engineer

An independent engineering test lab is growing and adding Test Engineers. You’ll own your projects from setup through final results, working directly with customers. It’s a hands-on, varied role: you’ll touch many types of testing, not just one.

What You’ll Do

• Own about 10 projects at a time, typically 2–3 in active testing
• Write test plans and set up tests to customer requirements, then hand off execution to technicians
• Lead and coordinate 1–3 technicians per project
• Run automated and manual test equipment and data acquisition systems
• Meet with customers regularly, about an hour every few days and more when they’re onsite
• Handle invoicing for your projects

What You Bring

• 2+ years of hands-on engineering or testing experience in a test environment (not design-only)
• Data acquisition (DAQ) experience
• Range across different kinds of tests, rather than one narrow specialty
• Comfortable working directly with clients
• U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident with a valid driver’s license
• Able to pass a federal (ATF) background approval

Nice to Have

• Vibration, shock, thermal cycling, thermal vacuum or electrical testing
• Fiber optic or optical testing (a big plus)
• Programming (LabVIEW, Python) for chamber control and data acquisition
• SolidWorks or similar CAD; experience with industry standards and formal test plans

Benefits: Medical, dental and vision from day one (75% employer-paid). 401(k) with a 4% guaranteed contribution. 10–20 days PTO plus 5 sick days. 7+ paid holidays.

Schedule: M–F, 8–5, with an occasional Saturday depending on customer needs.

Growth: New engineering levels are being added within the year, with a path to Engineering Supervisor or Manager.

• LabVIEW
• Manual Test Equipment
• Python
• SolidWorks
• Thermal Vacuum Chambers
• Vibration Shakers/Controllers (VibrationVIEW)
• Fiber Optic Test Equipment
