About the role
The Test Engineer Technician is a hands-on role supporting the test systems that validate Torus's flywheel and spin cap products. Working under the direction of senior test engineers, this person helps build and maintain test setups, assists in developing test automation code (LabVIEW), executes performance and reliability tests on Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS), and supports the documentation that turns test methods into repeatable procedures. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You value speed and quality equally. In a test environment, "do it nice, or do it twice" is literal — you move fast but you double-check, because rerunning a cycle-life test costs days, not minutes
- You focus on the "A." You know your strengths and where you still need to grow, and you actively apply the former to the latter. Feedback lands as fuel, not criticism
- You think in systems. You see how the data you collect connects to the bigger picture, and you treat your test results as part of an interconnected whole rather than an isolated task
- 1-3+ years of relevant experience, or trained in on the job, internships, co-ops, coursework, and hands-on project experience count
- Aptitude and willingness to learn LabVIEW and test software (exposure or coursework a plus)
- Basic familiarity with sensors, instrumentation, and data acquisition (DAQ) concepts

This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career technician who is hands-on, eager to learn, and excited to grow at the intersection of hardware, instrumentation, and software. You'll be mentored by experienced test engineers and given room to develop your skills as you go.
You're early in your career and eager to build. The kind of person who'd rather have their hands on a test stand than read about one. You bring more curiosity than credentials right now, and that's exactly what we're looking for: a fast learner who takes ownership of getting better.
- You seek context before you conclude. When a test behaves unexpectedly, you ask questions and assume positive intent rather than guessing — you want to understand the "why," and...
