Manufacturing Test Technician

Job Description

You’ll join a small team that solves unusual aerospace and turbo machinery test problems. One week you might build a spin-test fixture. The next, you might instrument a turbine component or work with an engineer to support a customer. You’ll see the whole project through, from setup and instrumentation to testing, analysis, and customer support.

We’ll train the right person on our specialized test processes. No spin-test experience is required.

What you’ll do

• Build, set up, and maintain test fixtures and high-speed rotating equipment
• Install instrumentation and run data acquisition during tests
• Troubleshoot, repair, and improve complex mechanical systems
• Work directly with engineers and customers on test programs

What we’re looking for

• Strong mechanical aptitude and real hands-on experience. School projects, co-ops, military service, and personal builds all count.
• Ability to read engineering drawings
• Someone who enjoys building things, diagnosing problems, and seeing the results of their work

Nice to have

• GD&T knowledge
• Experience on a manual or CNC lathe or mill
• Exposure to instrumentation, sensors, or data acquisition
• A degree or certificate in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, Robotics, Aviation Maintenance, or a related field

Why join us

• Varied, hands-on work on advanced machinery instead of one narrow task
• Direct customer exposure and real ownership of your work
• Training from experienced engineers
• Stable, local role with minimal travel
