Overview:

Execute mechanical and measurement tests driven and defined by test engineers across product development and design verification. Demonstrate strong working knowledge of test equipment and fixtures, including proper configuration, operation, and limitations. Independently troubleshoot test setups, equipment issues, and execution challenges to ensure reliable and repeatable results. Provide hands‐on input to test method improvement by identifying equipment limitations, setup inefficiencies, and opportunities to improve robustness and repeatability. Collect, organize, and communicate high‐quality test data and execution learnings to engineers to support informed engineering decisions.

Responsibilities:

You will drive the execution of test activities across all phases of product development. You will collect and document test results using good documentation practices and assist in failure analysis to support root-cause investigations. You will conduct feasibility testing, developmental testing, characterization testing, material testing, and design verification testing and support all engineering requests from the R D teams. You will operate various test equipment, including vernier scales, microscopes, tensile testing machines, multimeters, oscilloscopes, temperature probes, data acquisition systems, drop testing equipment, mechanical shock and vibration equipment, environmental chambers, hardness testers, and fatigue testing machines. You will support the development of test procedures, equipment/fixture builders, and any documentation that supports testing. You will support fixture or equipment development for product testing. Activities include designing and testing equipment or fixtures, processes, and completing engineering studies and validations. You will assist in lab management, including equipment troubleshooting, safety protocol enforcement, documentation, lab organization, and audit preparation to ensure compliance and efficiency.

Requirements:

BS or MS in Mechanical, Biomedical, or Chemical Engineering, or equivalent, with 0-2 years of experience. Experience designing fixtures, tools, or equipment using CAD software (SolidWorks or OnShape preferred). Proficiency in at least one scripting or high-level programming language (e.g., Python, MATLAB, C, VBA). Familiarity with statistical analysis, DOE techniques (e.g., Gauge R&R, t-test, ANOVA), and data interpretation. Hands-on experience with electromechanical test equipment and measurement systems, with strong troubleshooting skills. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with effective technical writing for protocols and reports. Highly organized and detail-oriented, with strong time management and prioritization abilities. Demonstrated initiative, fast learning, and curiosity to explore new tools and methods. Strong problem-solving skills and ability to adapt in a dynamic testing environment. Collaborative team player who works effectively across R D teams and is flexible with work hours when needed. Critical thinker who adapts quickly, solves problems independently, and thrives in a dynamic testing environment. Be flexible with work hours and responsive to shifting priorities, including early mornings, late nights, or possible overtime when necessary to support testing schedules, project demands, or urgent operational tasks.

Other notes:

• 1-3 years relevant engineering or test support experience.
• Strong hands‐on experience with mechanical or measurement test equipment and fixtures, including independent troubleshooting
• Proficiency with CAD software to review, modify, or create test fixtures and setups
• Ability to execute engineer‐defined test methods and document results accurately in a development or verification environment

Preferences:

• Ability to develop test methods end‐to‐end, including defining objectives, designing setups, selecting equipment, executing tests, and refining methods based on results
• Experience improving test robustness, repeatability, and efficiency through iterative method refinement
• Strong technical judgment to translate hands‐on testing experience into well‐documented, engineer‐ready test methods Benefits that Pride Health offers: Pride Health offers eligible employee's comprehensive healthcare coverage (medical, dental, and vision plans), supplemental coverage (accident insurance, critical illness insurance and hospital indemnity), a 401(k
