Product Test Technician I

Product Test Technician I

The Product Test Technician I supports the operation, integration, and troubleshooting of complex test systems used in advanced construction technologies. This role focuses on maintaining test infrastructure, fabricating and integrating test articles, and working closely with test engineers to ensure reliable, high-quality testing of mechanical, fluid, and electro-mechanical systems. You will contribute directly to innovative solutions in robotics, large-scale construction technology, advanced materials, and automation.

• Assist in the setup, operation, and troubleshooting of mechanical, fluid, and electro-mechanical test systems.
• Support the maintenance of test infrastructure, including test stands, fluid systems, and related processes under the guidance of senior team members.
• Assist in the fabrication and integration of test articles and equipment such as fluid panels, actuators, motors, gears, electrical cabinets, PLCs, and welded assemblies.
• Support the integration, operation, and troubleshooting of motion-control subsystems and software/firmware components within test systems.
• Use test equipment, including oscilloscopes and sensors, to perform end-to-end product testing and validate system performance.
• Assist with the setup and operation of test equipment involving VFDS, PLCs, Beckhoff TwinCAT, telemetry, and other control and monitoring systems.
• Collaborate with the team to maintain accurate documentation, including test procedures, configuration notes, and detailed test data logs.
• Learn and follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) for safety, testing, and equipment handling.
• Assist with on-site testing, repair, and troubleshooting activities under supervision, including work in outdoor test yards.
• Support continuous improvement of test processes by communicating issues, suggesting enhancements, and helping implement process updates.
• Work closely with engineers, technicians, and cross-functional teams to ensure test systems are ready, safe, and configured correctly for each test campaign.

Essential Skills

• 1–2+ years of experience in mechanical, electrical, or fluid system testing.
• Strong interest in hands-on fabrication, assembly, and troubleshooting of mechanical, electrical, and fluid systems.
• Basic ability to read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
• Familiarity with mechanical tools, fasteners, and gear assemblies.
• Familiarity with PLC systems and their role in controlling test equipment and automation.
• Ability to perform troubleshooting on mechanical, electro-mechanical, and fluid test systems.
• Comfort using test equipment such as oscilloscopes, sensors, and other diagnostic tools.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with engineers, technicians, and cross-functional teams.
• Ability to work in extreme environments, including high or low temperatures, sun, rain, and dirt/mud, with approximately 30% of time spent in outdoor testing.
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds as part of equipment setup, fabrication, and testing activities.
• High school diploma or equivalent.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with end-to-end product testing, including setup, execution, and documentation of test results.
• Exposure to test maintenance and fabrication, including building and modifying test fixtures and assemblies.
• Familiarity with fluid systems, including piping, valves, pumps, and related components used in test environments.
• Experience working with VFDS, PLCs, Beckhoff TwinCAT, telemetry, and other control and automation platforms.
• Basic understanding of motion-control systems and software/firmware integration within test setups.
• Ability to interpret and follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) for safety and testing.
• Associates degree in mechatronics, mechanical engineering technology, or a relevant technical field is a plus.
• Interest in robotics, automation, controls, sensors, fluid systems, materials testing, and machine development.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, startup-style environment with changing priorities and varied technical challenges.
