Responsibilities: 

• Work cross-functionally with design engineering to validate mechatronic component and system reliability. Plan, set up, and execute reliability testing.
• Design and develop benchtop tests / fixtures to enable test automation and data logging.
• Troubleshoot to identify the root cause of test failures and provide feedback to the engineering team on design improvement.
• Compile and analyze test findings and present comprehensive technical reports
• Develop and continuously refine test procedures to scale output and quality of results 

• Maintain lab excellence and organization to enable highest possible performance

 
At a minimum we’d like you to have: 

• BS degrees in mechatronics or related engineering discipline (or equivalent experience)
• 3+ years of hands-on laboratory experience, ideally including testing of mechatronic components.
• Fundamental understanding of mechatronic components including motors, pumps, and solenoid valves.
• Proficiency in Arduino hardware and software development platform.
• Familiarity with basic Linux and Python syntax
• Familiarity using standard mechanical tools - drills, presses, dremels, saws, epoxies, sockets/wrenches 
• Familiarity with basic electronics tools (DMM, power suppliers, oscilloscopes) and rework modifications (soldering, harness rework, crimping connectors) 
• Time management and a focus and attention to detail as a self-starter in a changing environment - finding creative methods of achieving a goal or task when needed
• Good communication and collaborative skills

It’s preferred if you have: 

• Work experience with reliability test facility and equipment
• Working knowledge of Linux operating systems & basic python exposure 
• Working knowledge of using a preferred CAD platform like Solidworks or CATIA for making test fixtures and small assemblies 
• Some prior fabrication experience - 3D printing, laser cutting, bandsaws, mills, press brakes, lathes 
• Past experience with measurement and instrumentation - ex. Thermocouples, strain gauges, load cells, test DAQs, signal conditioners, LVDTs, etc.
