About the role
We are seeking a curious, hands-on R&D Test Engineer with an instrumentation focus to join our Physical R&D team. You will own the test infrastructure our scientists depend on: designing and building fixtures, instrumenting test systems, developing data collection methods, running experiments, and turning one-off prototype setups into repeatable systems.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in an engineering or related technical field, plus 3+ years of hands-on test, instrumentation, or lab engineering experience. Equivalent practical experience is also welcome
- Instrumentation fundamentals: sensor selection, mounting and wiring, signal conditioning, calibration, and a working understanding of noise, grounding, sampling rate, and where measurement error comes from
- Electronics bench work: soldering and harnessing, custom cabling, basic circuit troubleshooting
- Practical shop skills: experienced with light power tools, basic fabrication and wiring and harnessing
- Track record designing and executing instrumented tests in an industrial or research setting
- Clear technical documentation: test plans, SOPs, and reports that someone else can follow without you in the room
