About the role

Critical Loop is looking for an experienced Engineering Technician to join our Product Development team and support the build, integration, and testing of next-generation energy hardware. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who is comfortable moving between the shop floor and the test environment. You’ll build and wire prototype electromechanical systems, set up and run development tests, troubleshoot issues alongside engineers, and help turn early designs into repeatable, high-quality builds.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience as an Engineering Technician, Test Technician, Electromechanical Technician, Prototype Technician, Integration Technician, or similar hands-on technical role
  • Experience building and/or testing precision electromechanical hardware to print in industries such as energy/BESS, EV/battery, automotive, aerospace, or industrial hardware
  • Strong ability to independently read and build from engineering drawings, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, GD&T, BOMs, and work instructions
  • Hands-on experience with precision assembly and electrical harnessing, including torque specifications, crimps, terminations, connectors, routing, labeling, and fasteners
  • Experience setting up test instrumentation and collecting reliable, traceable data using equipment such as DAQ systems, sensors, oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and load banks
  • Working knowledge of electrical safety practices, including LOTO and appropriate PPE when working around high-voltage or high-energy equipment
