Picture your day on our final test floor: you arrive to a queue of finished structures, units, and panels awaiting their last checkpoint. You build a test plan, power up systems, and move through mechanical, electrical, insulation, and sequence checks. With diagrams and schematics in hand, you verify every connection, confirm calibration, and document results. When something isn’t right, you trace the fault, collaborate with Engineering and Quality, and see corrective actions through before anything ships.

  • Create and execute test plans for electrical components, controls, panel-boards, and assemblies to verify functional performance.
  • Set up equipment by following drawings, specifications, and written or verbal work instructions.
  • Perform mechanical, electrical, insulation, and sequence testing; inspect assemblies, panels, and component parts for quality and operation.
  • Troubleshoot test failures, identify root cause, and coordinate fixes with Engineering, Quality, and supervision.
  • Confirm orders are complete and support customer inspectors during witness testing and inspections.
  • Recommend improvements to assembly, wiring, calibration, and testing procedures; ensure changes and repairs are completed.
  • Maintain test equipment, track calibration status, and keep accurate records and reports.
  • Follow all safety, PPE, hygiene, and housekeeping standards.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.
