** Engineering
* * team!
** DISCOVER
* * At Watkins Wellness, our products are designed to perform reliably for years in real‐world environments. As a Test Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in making that  this role, you’ll translate product and system requirements into robust test strategies that validate performance, reliability, and durability over the full product lifecycle. You’ll design and execute test protocols, build and automate test systems, and analyze results that directly influence product quality and engineering decisions.

This is a hands‐on, lab‐focused role where you’ll collaborate closely with engineers and lab technicians, develop innovative test methods, and turn complex data into clear, actionable insights for audiences with varying levels of technical expertise. If you enjoy building test systems, solving problems through data, and seeing your work directly impact product reliability, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful and visible impact.
** YOUR RIPPLE EFFECT
*** Capture product and system requirements and translate them into comprehensive test requirements and protocols that validate long‐term performance and reliability.
* Design, develop, and maintain test systems, including automation and robotics, to support component‐ and system‐level testing.
* ** Can you think long
** Develop and calibrate accelerated life and reliability tests (HALT/HASS, ALT) to simulate years of real‐world use and environmental exposure.
* ** Are you hands
** Initiate and oversee test execution, working closely with lab technicians to prioritize work, optimize resources, and ensure accurate, repeatable results.
* Manage, analyze, and interpret large volumes of test data using advanced Excel skills, databases, and reporting tools to identify trends, risks, and failure modes.
* Configure and integrate control and data acquisition solutions using platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PLCs, and test instrumentation.
* ** Are you detail
** Maintain thorough documentation, test reports, and due diligence records, potentially within PLM or test management systems.
* Present detailed test results and recommendations to engineers, cross‐functional partners, and stakeholders with both technical and non‐technical backgrounds.
* Evaluate field and warranty data, partner with internal and external engineering teams, and support root cause analysis of component and system failures.
* Manage several concurrent test engineering projects, coordinating in‐house and external resources as needed.
** WHAT YOU BRING
*** Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, or related discipline)
* 5+ years of Test Engineering experience, including reliability testing methods such as HALT, HASS, or accelerated life testing
* Strong working knowledge of mechanical, thermal, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and heat transfer principles in electromechanical systems
* Hands‐on experience with automation, robotics, and control hardware, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PLCs, and data acquisition systems
* Experience developing and executing test methods and protocols for components and systems
* Advanced Excel skills, with the ability to manage, analyze, and report on complex datasets
* Familiarity with test databases, historical report retrieval, and test documentation practices; PLM experience is a plus
* Experience with test automation software such as LabVIEW or equivalent tools
* Strong organizational skills and the ability to document work with a high level of accuracy and due diligence
* Confident written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical results clearly to diverse audiences
* Willingness and preference to work on‐site in the lab environment and collaborate closely with technicians and engineers
** WHAT YOU’LL GET
** At Watkins Wellness, we believe everyone should ‘Feel good. Live well.’ We offer employees the opportunity to join a dynamic, growing industry leader with an…
