Join a World-Class Engineering Laboratory

At Hubbell, our engineers help develop,validate, and advance the technologies that power electrical infrastructure around the globe. As a Senior Laboratory Test Engineer, you will play a critical leadership role within one of the industry’s premier accredited testing laboratories, supporting the development of electrical utility transmission and distribution products used in demanding operating environments.

This is far more than a traditional test engineering position. You will work at the intersection of product development, advanced laboratory testing, simulation,standards compliance, quality systems, and laboratory innovation. You will lead complex high-voltage and high-power test programs, develop new laboratory capabilities, influence long-term technical strategy, and collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to solve challenging technical problems.

Why This Role Is Unique
Few engineering positions offer the opportunity to influence product development, laboratory testing, industry standards compliance, laboratory infrastructure strategy, and technical innovation simultaneously.

This role provides exposure to:

• High-voltage, high-current, and pulsed-power testing systems
• Utility transmission and distribution technologies
• Advanced instrumentation and data acquisition systems
• Research and development activities
• Laboratory automation and modernization initiatives
• Industry standards and compliance programs
• Engineering leadership and mentoring opportunities
• Strategic laboratory investment and capability planning
