Test Engineer

Test Engineer 2

The Test Engineer 2 supports product development by executing mechanical and design verification testing, collecting and documenting test data, and assisting with failure analysis and root-cause investigations. In this role, you operate a broad range of electromechanical, measurement, environmental, and mechanical test equipment while helping develop test procedures, fixtures, equipment, and supporting documentation. This position offers the opportunity to contribute directly to life-changing continuous glucose monitoring technology and gain broad, hands-on exposure to mechanical testing, design verification, statistical analysis, failure investigations, and fixture development.

• Execute design verification and other product testing activities to support product development and verification.
• Collect, organize, and document test results using Good Documentation Practices to ensure traceable and compliant records.
• Assist with failure analysis and root-cause investigations to identify issues and drive corrective actions.
• Conduct mechanical testing involving force measurement, displacement testing, deployment mechanisms, temperature, humidity, vibration, mechanical shock, and fatigue.
• Operate a wide range of laboratory and test equipment, including tensile testing machines, multimeters, oscilloscopes, microscopes, temperature probes, data acquisition systems, environmental chambers, and fatigue testing equipment.
• Support the development of test procedures, protocols, reports, and other supporting documentation for design verification and validation activities.
• Design, test, and validate fixtures and equipment used for product testing, ensuring they meet functional and safety requirements.
• Complete engineering studies and validation activities that contribute to product development and continuous improvement.
• Troubleshoot test setups, equipment, fixtures, and measurement systems to resolve issues and maintain reliable testing operations.
• Interpret test data and apply statistical techniques such as design of experiments (DOE), Gauge R&R, t-tests, and ANOVA to draw meaningful conclusions.
• Manage multiple testing activities and projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines in a dynamic testing environment.
• Collaborate effectively with research and development (R&D) team members and other cross-functional partners to plan and execute testing.
• Prepare clear, concise technical documentation, including test procedures, protocols, and reports.
• Support occasional early morning, late night, or weekend testing activities when required by project timelines.

• BS or MS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• At least two years of relevant engineering or testing experience, with a target range of approximately two to five years.
• Hands-on experience executing mechanical and design verification testing within a product development environment.
• Practical experience with force measurement, displacement testing, deployment mechanisms, and environmental testing involving temperature, humidity, vibration, and mechanical shock.
• Experience operating electromechanical test equipment and measurement systems, including common laboratory instruments.
• Ability to collect and document test results using Good Documentation Practices.
• Experience supporting failure analysis and root-cause investigations.
• Strong troubleshooting skills for test setups, equipment, fixtures, and measurement systems.
• Ability to interpret test data and apply statistical analysis techniques such as design of experiments (DOE), Gauge R&R, t-tests, and ANOVA.
• Effective technical writing skills for authoring test procedures, protocols, and detailed reports.
• Strong interpersonal and verbal communication skills for working within a collaborative R&D environment.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and prioritize tasks in a dynamic testing environment.
• Self-driven, highly organized, and detail-oriented approach to work.
• Ability to collaborate across R&D teams and contribute constructively to group problem solving.
• Flexibility to support occasional early mornings, late nights, or weekends when testing activities require it.

• Familiarity with relevant medical-device, packaging, and environmental testing standards is preferred.
• Experience with test method development and validation is beneficial.
• Background in fixture design and development for mechanical and electromechanical testing is an advantage.
• Comfort working with a variety of mechanical, environmental, and fatigue testing methods.
• Interest in contributing to continuous glucose monitoring technology and other life-changing medical innovations.
• Ability to work effectively in a small, collaborative team setting and share knowledge with peers.
