Mechanical Test Engineer

We are seeking a Mechanical Test Engineer to support mechanical testing, validation, troubleshooting, and failure analysis activities. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience working with mechanical components and systems, including component tear-down, identifying failure modes, troubleshooting issues, and conducting testing and validation.

This role requires a practical, hands-on engineering approach, strong analytical skills, and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional engineering and technical teams.

• Plan, execute, and support mechanical testing and validation of components and systems.
• Perform component tear-downs/disassembly
  , inspection, and documentation of findings.
• Conduct failure analysis to identify failure modes, root causes, and contributing factors.
• Troubleshoot mechanical components, systems, and test-related issues.
• Develop and execute test procedures based on engineering requirements and test objectives.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret test data to evaluate component and system performance.
• Document test results, failure observations, root-cause findings, and recommendations.
• Work closely with design, manufacturing, quality, and other engineering teams to resolve issues.
• Support the development and improvement of testing methods, procedures, and processes.
• Investigate unexpected test results and recommend corrective or design improvements.
• Maintain accurate test documentation, reports, and engineering records.
• Follow applicable engineering, laboratory, safety, and quality procedures.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology
  , or a related engineering discipline.
• Relevant experience in mechanical testing, validation, troubleshooting, or failure analysis
  .
• Hands-on experience with component tear-down and inspection
  .
• Strong understanding of mechanical components, systems, and failure mechanisms.
• Experience performing root-cause/failure analysis and troubleshooting.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and test requirements.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work hands-on in a test/lab or engineering environment.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

• Experience in an industrial, automotive, heavy equipment, machinery, or manufacturing environment.
• Experience with structured failure-analysis methodologies and root-cause investigation.
• Experience with instrumentation, data acquisition, or mechanical test equipment.
• Familiarity with engineering change processes and technical documentation.
• Experience analyzing test data and preparing technical reports.
• Knowledge of applicable mechanical testing standards and procedures.
