Test Engineer, Electromechanical Integration
About The Position
We are seeking an experienced Test Engineer, Electromechanical Integration to design, build, and commission control systems and mechanical hardware for our large-scale test facilities. This role spans the complete lifecycle - from CAD design and electrical schematics through panel fabrication, assembly, and commissioning - bridging mechanical and electrical engineering. You'll collaborate closely with other engineers and designers across disciplines to determine system requirements, design hardware, and integrate mechanical and electronics systems into functional assemblies. Your work will ensure our test infrastructure operates safely, meets industrial standards, and performs reliably in demanding environments. You'll also get hands-on; assembling, wiring, and machining parts to bring ideas into functional prototypes and final hardware. Within your first year, you'll be a trusted contributor to critical builds and a go-to resource for practical design and integration expertise.
