• Collect, record, and organize test data using digital and analog measurement systems to ensure accurate and reliable results.
• Collaborate closely with engineers and technicians to communicate test progress, identify and report issues, and summarize test results.
• Perform test teardown, including disassembling fixtures, cleaning work areas, and resetting equipment to a safe and ready state for future use.
• Troubleshoot test setups, equipment, and systems to resolve issues and maintain test integrity.
• Interpret schematics, blueprints, and technical drawings to properly configure tests and understand system operation.
• Apply mechanical and electronics knowledge to operate test equipment and support engineering test activities.
• Work independently with general guidance from management and team members to complete assigned test tasks and projects.
• Follow established safety procedures when using power tools, metalworking equipment, and lifting or moving components up to 50 lbs.

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, blueprints, and technical drawings.
• Strong mechanical aptitude, including experience with power tools and metalworking equipment.
• Basic understanding of mechanical systems.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills in engineering and test environments.
• Ability to work independently with general guidance from management and team members.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills for collaborating with engineers and technicians and documenting test results.
• Ability to safely lift up to 50 lbs.
• Experience working with engineering test equipment, electronics, and mechanical systems.
• Ability to use both digital and analog measurement systems for data collection.

• Associate's degree in a related field or equivalent hands-on experience in engineering, electronics, or mechanical technology.
• Working knowledge of refrigeration systems and components.
• Basic understanding of heat transfer principles.
• Basic understanding of electrical systems and PLC programming.
• Experience with automation, robotics, controls, software, manufacturing, or product development environments.
• Ability to interpret and apply engineering schematics and technical documentation in practical test setups.
• Interest in building relationships with engineers, technical leaders, and cross-functional teams.
• Motivation to develop highly marketable skills through exposure to large-scale processes, systems, and advanced engineering projects.
