• Calibrate, verify, operate, and maintain laboratory instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and specialized testing equipment.
• Prepare technical reports, analyze test data, document procedures, and recommend product or testing improvements.
• Laboratory Operations, Equipment, & Facility Support
• Maintain laboratory equipment, tooling, and facility infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient operation.
• Coordinate purchasing of laboratory materials and recommend facility upgrades and capital improvements.
• Ensure compliance with ANSI, ASTM, ISO, OSHA, and company standards while supporting facility maintenance activities.
• Technical Leadership, Collaboration, & Continuous Improvement
• Serve as a technical resource for engineering teams supporting product development, validation, and field testing.
• Train and mentor technicians, interns, contractors, and engineering personnel while supporting customer demonstrations and evaluations.
• Develop and improve laboratory procedures, data acquisition tools, and testing processes to increase efficiency, quality, and safety.

We each bring something to the table, and we are looking for someone who has:

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• Associate degree in Engineering Technology, Mechanical Technology, or related technical field preferred
• Technical certificate, or equivalent experience in mechanical, electrical, HVAC, or industrial technology

• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and technical documentation
