Job Description
Job Description Join our Team as a TEST TECHNICAN! The Role: We're seeking a passionate and dedicated Test Technician to join our team. In this position, you will support the execution of engineering tests that help validate and improve products and systems. You will work closely with engineers and lab leadership to prepare and run tests, collect and review data, and communicate progress and results. This role involves hands?on work in lab and field environments, contributing to test setup, documentation, and reporting. You will also help identify opportunities to improve testing processes, support lab operations, and ensure work is completed safely and efficiently. Through collaboration, organization, and continuous improvement, you will play a key role in enabling successful testing programs and overall product development. What You'll Be Doing: Collaborate with test engineers to develop and execute test plans, including test setup, data acquisition configuration, sensor and probe selection, and completion of tests according to defined requirements. Configure, install, and maintain data acquisition systems and test equipment; manage prototype, product, indoor/outdoor, and assigned component-level bench tests. Manage execution of small test programs, track progress, visualize results, and report status. Identify execution gaps and partner with engineering and lab leadership to resolve issues effectively. Lead daily stand-up meetings or provide project updates as requested. Identify and procure required software, hardware, and tooling to support test execution and overall program success. Maintain accurate and detailed test logs, daily activity tracking, and documentation. Provide regular updates in daily and weekly meetings, capture lessons learned, and propose standardization or improvement plans. Review test plans and procedures developed by engineers, identify missing or unclear requirements, and collaborate with engineering and leadership to close identified gaps. Execute assigned tests and tasks under the direction of a test engineer while ensuring adherence to established procedures and safety standards. Perform electrical testing tasks as needed, including development of electrical test harnesses, test setup for system- and component-level testing, environmental and thermal testing, firmware flashing, and schematic creation using provided tools and training. Install and test electrical and electronic components using appropriate hand tools and test instruments. Perform mechanical testing tasks as needed, including supporting battery and vehicle-level testing, mechanical and electrical bench tests, fixture design and fabrication, fatigue test setup, and vehicle preparation activities such as part installation or replacement. Review and validate collected test data to ensure accuracy, completeness, and proper channel assignment; process and analyze data using tools such as Excel. Study existing test plans, procedures, and reports to execute testing effectively; identify gaps in documentation and contribute to the development, modification, and standardization of test procedures and best practices. Conduct vehicle testing by driving defined duty cycles and patterns; optimize test patterns to meet specific test objectives. Prepare and complete test reports within established timelines and quality standards using provided training and templates. Support test equipment selection, organization, and 5S activities within the lab environment. Contribute to continuous improvement by participating in development of new test procedures, process improvements, problem documentation, and countermeasure implementation. Support lab operations, facility installations, and other laboratory-related activities as requested by lab supervision. Assist with external testing activities, including supplier visits and testing at customer or third-party facilities as needed. Identify and participate in Kaizen, Hoshin, and continuous improvement initiatives. Perform all duties while maintaining a constant state of alertness and adhering to safety requirements.
