Product Validation Test Technician

Compensation: Up to $35.00 per hour (based on proven work history)

A day in the lab

You arrive, review the day’s test objectives, and translate requirements into actionable test setups. You select and calibrate the right instruments, assemble components for evaluation, and prepare the lab environment for safe, consistent execution. Once the rigs and software are ready, you run performance, environmental, and operational tests to verify capability, reliability, and conformance to specification.

As results come in, you log data meticulously, analyze what you see, and clearly communicate findings to the team. If something doesn’t look right, you retest to confirm. You’ll disassemble components post-test, maintain databases by entering and backing up data, and keep equipment in peak form by following procedures, performing preventive maintenance, troubleshooting issues, and coordinating repairs when needed. Throughout it all, you uphold lab safety rules and actively look for better ways to test, document, and improve—contributing to engineering and organizational success. And, as with any lab, you take on related duties as assigned.
