About The Position

The position reports to the VP of Corporate Development & Strategy and is intended to lead to a permanent role with ownership within 12 to 18 months, potentially in division, rental, or lab management, or a corporate management area such as analytics, continuous improvement, FP&A, or supply chain. Placement depends on performance, readiness, and available opportunities. The role is based in Baton Rouge and requires relocation and extensive travel, including frequent visits to JM Test Systems locations and customer sites, sometimes for multi-week or multi-month assignments. The analyst will regularly spend time in calibration labs, customer facilities, and field and industrial environments.
