Test Engineering Technician

Atmos Zero is building the next generation of industrial steam infrastructure. Our flagship product, Boiler 2.0, is a modular industrial steam heat pump designed to help manufacturers reduce operational risk, improve flexibility, and modernize steam generation over time. Rather than forcing facilities to choose between reliability and sustainability, Atmos Zero enables a practical path toward future-ready steam systems that integrate with existing operations and scale with customer needs.

Senior Director, Plant Operations

Come be part of an ambitious team developing clean-energy technology for industrial steam. Atmos Zero is seeking a hands-on Test Engineering Technician to support testing across our Prototype, Pilot, and 1 MW systems. This role is a blend of mechanical work, basic electrical and instrumentation work, test execution, troubleshooting, and facility support. Over time, the right person will grow into independently operating test stands and supporting compressor, system, and manufacturing end-of-line testing.

• Provide hands-on mechanical and electrical support for testing across Prototype, Pilot, and 1 MW systems.
• Set up test equipment, piping, instrumentation, sensors, wiring, and data-acquisition hardware under established engineering direction.
• Execute test procedures, monitor equipment, collect and record data, and maintain accurate test logs and equipment records.
• Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and facility issues and work with engineers to implement corrective actions.
• Support upgrades to the test facility required for initial 1 MW testing, including installation, checkout, and maintenance of test infrastructure.
• Build, modify, commission, maintain, and operate compressor and system test stands.
• Maintain a safe, clean, organized, and test-ready work area; follow all safety, PPE, lockout/tagout, and operating procedures.
• Write, refine, and maintain test procedures, maintenance instructions, checklists, and work instructions.
• Provide practical feedback to engineers on test setup, equipment serviceability, recurring failures, and opportunities to improve test execution.
• Progress toward independently running defined tests with limited engineering oversight and supporting future manufacturing end-of-line testing.

• Demonstrated hands-on experience as a test, engineering, maintenance, manufacturing, field-service, or industrial technician.
• Mechanical aptitude and experience assembling, modifying, maintaining, or troubleshooting equipment, piping, pumps, valves, or comparable hardware.
• Basic electrical aptitude, including safe use of a multimeter and experience with sensors, wiring, panels, or instrumentation.
• Ability to read and work from mechanical drawings, schematics, procedures, and bills of materials.
• Experience using hand tools, power tools, and basic measurement equipment safely and correctly.
• Ability to follow written procedures, record test results accurately, and communicate observations clearly to engineers and technicians.
• Comfort working with prototype equipment and incomplete information while maintaining safe work practices.
• Authorization to work in the U.S.

• Experience operating or supporting industrial test stands, process equipment, refrigeration systems, heat pumps, compressors, boilers, or similar equipment.
• Experience installing and troubleshooting instrumentation such as pressure, temperature, flow, vibration, or electrical sensors.
• Experience with data-acquisition systems, PLC-controlled equipment, or basic controls troubleshooting.
• Experience with pressure, leak, vacuum, hydrostatic, or performance testing.
• Experience building or upgrading test…
