The Lab Technician and Office Manager is the hands-on technical backbone of the Innovation Lab in Atlanta. This role spends most of its time building, running and continuously improving our lab test operation shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers and product testers to validate products in a dispensed beverage ecosystem. A smaller portion of the role supports light office and facility coordination that keeps the broader Atlanta workspace running smoothly.

This is a ground-floor opportunity to help build the lab from the start, including the test processes, workflows, and routines that will support it for years to come.

What You'll DoProduct & Equipment Testing - Plumbing & Installation to Connectivity & Pour (Core Technical Work)
• Execute test plans across the full range of dispensed beverage products using MFT’s ISO 17025 laboratory protocols and test methods.
• Test the physical foundation first: plumbing, water and CO₂ supply lines, syrup connections, and mechanical/electrical installation of dispensers and ice makers - the install-time work that determines whether everything downstream performs correctly.
• Record, analyze, and report test data with rigor and traceability - from raw plumbing/mechanical performance through sensor readings to what actually pours in the cup - partnering with Test Engineers and the Laboratory Manager on interpretation, review, and sign-off.
• Support prototype builds and alpha, beta and pre-production validation as new products (valves, ice makers, sensors, gateways) move through the NPD stage-gate process.
• Prepare beverages, ingredients, consumables and test environments needed for day-to-day product evaluations.

Lab Process Design (Entrepreneurial Core)
• Create and continuously improve standard test protocols, work instructions, workflows, and lab systems with an owner’s mindset, building repeatable processes that help the lab scale beyond day-one needs.
• Help select and set up lab equipment (test rigs, sensors, compressors, calibration tools), thinking ahead to the beverages and technologies we will be testing years from now, not just what’s needed on day one.

Partnering with Engineers & Product Testers (End-to-End Ownership)
• Work daily alongside hardware/test engineers and product testers as a full partner in the testing process - from planning a test, through installation, connectivity validation, and pour-quality data capture, to closing the loop on findings - not just a support function.
• Troubleshoot unexpected test results, equipment issues, and technical unknowns with curiosity, urgency, and a practical problem-solving mindset.
• Maintain equipment inventory, calibration schedules and service records so the lab stays organized, safe, and audit-ready.
