Applicants should be detail oriented with a strong working knowledge of laboratory test equipment (electrical and mechanical).

Responsibilities:

The Test Engineer responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Understand sensor designs and functional operation, all tests/measurements required for product performance validation, all tests/measurements required for standards compliance
• Develop and execute test plans for design validation, performance verification, and calibration testing
• Work closely with engineering staff to define pass/fail criterion and testing requirements
• Write formal testing procedures and develop required processes for sensor testing
• Identify equipment needs and recommend equipment purchases
• Design / construct test fixtures as required
• Support field installations
• Work with engineering and production to support special customer needs (e.g. create custom manifolds, test for special operating conditions)
• Perform on-site visits as required to support installations and/or collect field data
• Aid the design team
• Provide feedback on sensor performance
• Recommend design changes to improve sensor performance or testing/calibration efficiency
• Aid the production team
• Address discrepant material concerns
• Perform root cause analysis on RMA and determine corrective actions
