You'll gain experience working with a wide range of equipment, by running everything from nanometer scale accuracy on our laser interferometer to half-ton thrust in our warehouse space.

You will work on projects that will help to expand our measurement capabilities as we push into industrial markets and build more complex multi-axis systems.  While prototyping components for these projects, you'll have full access to our well-equipped machine shop, which includes a waterjet, laser cutter, lathes, mills (both manual and CNC), and numerous other tools.

  • Gain a fundamental understanding of motion control systems through the process of diagnosing problems with production and prototype devices.
  • Investigate sources of error in test systems and implement strategies to mitigate or eliminate them.
  • Design, improve, and manufacture new test jigs when necessary.
  • Write Python scripts to automate our tests and use data analysis tools to convey important conclusions.
  • Create test plans, run tests, analyze results, write reports, and collaborate with designers/developers to ensure the desired information is captured.
What we're looking for:
  • Keen interest for digging deep into problems and optimizing processes.
  • Hands-on experience or mechanical aptitude, preferably with precision systems; be sure to tell us about any past work with mechanical systems.
  • Experience with Python, object oriented programming, and data analysis.
  • A degree in mechanical, mechatronics engineering, or similar.
  • Currently enrolled in a degree or diploma program.
Mechanical Test Engineer Details:
  • Wage: $24 - $28/hour depending on experience.
  • Closing Date: Oct 31, 2025.
