Position Summary

This technician role supports the R&D team in both early-stage development and ongoing lab operations. The position requires hands‑on experience with capital equipment systems, pumps, and electro‑mechanical assemblies, supporting prototype builds, troubleshooting, and test execution.

The role includes a balanced mix of engineering support and routine lab testing, with responsibility for executing standard test methods, maintaining equipment, and supporting product development activities.

• Build, assemble, and troubleshoot prototype systems and capital equipment, including pumps, fluid systems, and electro‑mechanical assemblies
• Support development activities utilizing platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, LabVIEW, or similar tools
• Set up and execute engineering and routine lab tests, including data collection and documentation
• Perform routine verification and characterization testing in support of product development and sustaining efforts
• Assist in development and refinement of test methods, fixtures, and data acquisition systems
• Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and fluidic system issues in both prototype and test environments
• Maintain, calibrate, and ensure readiness of lab equipment (e.g., multimeters, pressure/flow sensors, oscilloscopes)
• Document test results, observations, and technical findings in a clear and organized manner
• Support sustaining engineering activities, including product improvements and investigation work
• Collaborate with engineers and cross‑functional teams to support project execution and timelines
• Ensure compliance with Client quality systems and all applicable safety and regulatory requirements

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field
• 2+ years of hands‑on experience in a technical lab, prototyping, or R&D environment
• Experience working with capital equipment systems (e.g., pumps, motors, or automated systems) preferred
• Familiarity with electronics and instrumentation (wiring, sensors, data acquisition systems)
• Experience with mechanical assembly, fluid systems, and troubleshooting
• Exposure to LabVIEW, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or similar platforms preferred
• Ability to execute both routine lab testing and development‑focused experimentation
• Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to work independently
• Basic computer skills (Excel, data entry, documentation)

• Hands‑on, detail‑oriented, and comfortable working with hardware and lab equipment
• Strong troubleshooting mindset across mechanical, electrical, and fluidic systems
• Ability to balance structured, repeatable testing with more open‑ended development work
• Effective communication and collaboration with engineers and technicians
