What are the responsibilities and job description for the Test Engineer position at XNRGY Climate Systems?
Who are we?
XNRGY Climate Systems is a leader in sustainable HVAC solutions, specializing in the design and manufacture of energy-efficient air treatment systems for various applications including data centers, healthcare facilities, and industrial buildings. With a strong commitment to sustainability and innovation, XNRGY provides innovative solutions that reduce energy consumption and support LEED certification.
A Test Engineer is the last line of defense between design intent and the customer. In a startup HVAC manufacturer like XNRGY—building custom AHUs/chillers for mission-critical sites (data centers, hospitals, labs)—they turn prototypes into repeatable products, protect performance guarantees, and keep ramp schedules on track. They design the factory/end-of-line tests, instrument our units properly, catch defects before shipping, generate the traceable data customers and certifiers require, and feed issues back to Design, Controls, and Production fast enough to prevent repeats. Net result: higher first-pass yield, fewer field failures, faster cash conversion, and proof we meet spec.
