Step into a hands‑on R&D lab role supporting blower and vacuum pump product development, where you’ll build, instrument, test, and troubleshoot real electromechanical systems that directly shape product performance. You’ll work in a standalone R&D test engineering lab running prototype and production‑intent hardware for validation, performance testing, instrumentation, and failure troubleshooting. The primary focus is lab‑based R&D and test engineering, with heavy emphasis on hands‑on execution, root‑cause investigation, and clear, detailed test reporting.

As experience grows, you’ll expand into supporting and growing toward electrical design ownership. Work is fast‑paced and highly variable, spanning new product development validation and urgent issue resolution tied to active engineering challenges.

• Build, instrument, and operate blower and vacuum pump test setups.
• Support validation testing including performance, thermal, durability, and reliability testing.
• Configure sensors, wiring, and data acquisition systems to capture accurate test data.
• Troubleshoot electrical and electromechanical issues in lab and prototype environments.
• Support teardown, inspection, and failure analysis activities.
• Assist in development of electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and BOMs.
• Support integration of motors, sensors, heaters, and protection devices into equipment.
• Work with senior engineers on electrical design improvements and component selection.
• Participate in design reviews and provide feedback based on lab/test findings.
• Support prototype builds and iterative development cycles.
• Assist in evaluating new technologies for blower and vacuum systems.
• Assist manufacturing teams with electrical build issues and troubleshooting.
  
  Support field issue root‑cause analysis when required.
• Maintain test records, reports, and engineering documentation.
• Communicate findings clearly to engineering teams.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, or related field.
• 2+ years of hands‑on experience in lab, testing, service, or manufacturing environments.

• Familiarity with industrial electrical components (motors, sensors, relays, wiring).
• Ability to work with test equipment and data acquisition systems.
• Mechanical aptitude and ability to work on rotating equipment.
• Strong problem‑solving and communication skills.

• Experience in a lab environment, panel shop, service technician role, or manufacturing support.
• Exposure to blower, compressor, pump, or rotating equipment systems.
• Familiarity with electrical schematics and basic design tools.
• Experience with UL/CE or industrial electrical standards.

On‑site, with less than 10% travel.

The base salary for this role is $74,000–$96,000.

Health care options like medical and prescription plans, dental and vision coverage, and wellness programs. Life insurance, a robust 401(k) plan, paid time off, and employee stock grant, among other offerings.
