About The Position

AtmosZero is seeking a hands-on Test Engineering Technician to support testing across Prototype, Pilot, and 1 MW systems. The role combines mechanical work, basic electrical and instrumentation work, test execution, troubleshooting, and facility support. The technician will initially work under established engineering direction and may grow into independently operating test stands and supporting compressor, system, and manufacturing end-of-line testing.

Requirements

Demonstrated hands-on experience as a test, engineering, maintenance, manufacturing, field-service, or industrial technician.
Mechanical aptitude and experience assembling, modifying, maintaining, or troubleshooting equipment, piping, pumps, valves, or comparable hardware.
Basic electrical aptitude, including safe use of a multimeter and experience with sensors, wiring, panels, or instrumentation.
Ability to read and work from mechanical drawings, schematics, procedures, and bills of materials.
Experience using hand tools, power tools, and basic measurement equipment safely and correctly.
Ability to follow written procedures, record test results accurately, and communicate observations clearly to engineers and technicians.
Comfort working with prototype equipment and incomplete information while maintaining safe work practices.
Authorization to work in the U.S.

Nice To Haves

Experience operating or supporting industrial test stands, process equipment, refrigeration systems, heat pumps, compressors, boilers, or similar equipment.
Experience installing and troubleshooting instrumentation such as pressure, temperature, flow, vibration, or electrical sensors.
Experience with data-acquisition systems, PLC-controlled equipment, or basic controls troubleshooting.
Experience with pressure, leak, vacuum, hydrostatic, or performance testing.
Experience building or upgrading test facilities, utility systems, or laboratory infrastructure.
EPA 608, electrical, HVAC, welding, pipefitting, instrumentation, or other relevant trade certification.
Experience in a prototype, R&D, low-volume manufacturing, or new-product-introduction environment.
Associate degree, trade certification, or equivalent demonstrated hands-on experience.

Responsibilities

Provide hands-on mechanical and electrical support for testing across Prototype, Pilot, and 1 MW systems.
Set up test equipment, piping, instrumentation, sensors, wiring, and data-acquisition hardware under established engineering direction.
Execute test procedures, monitor equipment, collect and record data, and maintain accurate test logs and equipment records.
Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and facility issues and work with engineers to implement corrective actions.
Support upgrades to the test facility required for initial 1 MW testing, including installation, checkout, and maintenance of test infrastructure.
Build, modify, commission, maintain, and operate compressor and system test stands.
Maintain a safe, clean, organized, and test-ready work area; follow safety, PPE, lockout/tagout, and operating procedures.
Write, refine, and maintain test procedures, maintenance instructions, checklists, and work instructions.
Provide practical feedback to engineers on test setup, equipment serviceability, recurring failures, and opportunities to improve test execution.
Progress toward independently running defined tests with limited engineering oversight and supporting future manufacturing end-of-line testing.
