Data Systems Engineer
Job Description The Data Systems Engineer will support product development and laboratory testing operations by designing, implementing, and maintaining data acquisition systems, test automation solutions, engineering databases, and software applications. This role works closely with engineers and laboratory personnel to improve data collection, system reliability, and testing efficiency while providing technical support for engineering software platforms and laboratory technologies. The position offers the opportunity to own and enhance the engineering data infrastructure that underpins research, development, and product validation efforts, combining software, controls, data management, and hands-on engineering work in a highly visible capacity.

• Develop, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot data acquisition (DAQ) and automated test systems used in engineering and laboratory environments.
• Create, enhance, and support software applications and scripts that enable laboratory testing, data collection, and test automation.
• Integrate instrumentation, sensors, DAQ hardware, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and test equipment into automated testing environments to improve reliability and efficiency.
• Diagnose and resolve hardware, software, communication, and data quality issues affecting testing and data acquisition systems.
• Design, develop, and maintain relational databases used to store, manage, and analyze engineering test data.
• Improve data accessibility, reporting capabilities, and overall data management processes to support engineering decision-making.
• Support engineering software platforms, including CAD tools such as Solid Works and related engineering applications.
• Coordinate software installations, upgrades, licensing, and ongoing system maintenance for engineering and laboratory systems.
• Maintain clear and accurate technical documentation, including system configurations, standard operating procedures, and support materials.
• Participate in and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives focused on automation, testing efficiency, data integrity, and lean manufacturing practices.
• Collaborate with engineers, technicians, IT teams, and external vendors to implement and support laboratory instrumentation, automated testing equipment, and engineering systems.
• Work with third-party software and hardware vendors to integrate, support, and optimize external tools and technologies within the testing environment.

• Demonstrated experience with data acquisition (DAQ) systems in engineering or laboratory environments.
• Hands-on experience with test automation and controls integration, including automated test systems and control architectures.
• Proficiency in software development using tools such as Python, SQL, LabVIEW, C/C , .NET, or similar programming languages and frameworks.
• Experience designing, developing, and maintaining relational databases for engineering data storage and analysis.
• Practical knowledge of PLCs, instrumentation, and sensor integration within automated testing or industrial environments.
• Strong troubleshooting skills for hardware, software, communication interfaces, and data quality issues.
• Experience working in engineering test environments, laboratory settings, or manufacturing test facilities.
• Ability to create and maintain technical documentation, system configurations, and standard operating procedures.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of experience supporting engineering, manufacturing, laboratory, or test environments.
• Experience supporting CAD software, particularly Solid Works, and related engineering applications.
• Knowledge of industrial communications and automated control systems used in engineering and testing operations.

• Experience with thermal testing, environmental testing, refrigeration, or HVAC-related products, including HVAC/R and refrigeration testing.
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies.
• Experience working with third-party software and hardware vendors to implement and support engineering and laboratory solutions.
• Comfort working with laboratory instrumentation, sensors, automated testing equipment, and advanced testing technologies.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including engineers,…
