## About the Role

We are seeking a Test Engineer II to join our growing team. This role is focused on designing test stands and testing new scroll compressors and vacuum pump designs, including liquid-cooled oil-free compressors for auxiliary air systems on fully electric trucks and buses. The ideal candidate is driven, organized, and detail-oriented, and can turn test data into clear recommendations for the design team., Required

 * B.S. in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience with a proven track record in testing)
 * Minimum 3 years of experience as a test engineer
 * Experience using LabVIEW for data acquisition and analysis
 * Proficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks or similar) to interpret test stand designs
 * Familiarity with Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
 * Knowledge of Vector tools (CANalyzer, CANoe, or similar)

Preferred

 * Knowledge of Python for test data analysis
 * Experience with PLC programming and control systems for test stand automation
 * Experience with BLDC motors and controllers
 * Experience with common troubleshooting instruments (DMM, oscilloscope, function generators, etc.)
 * Working knowledge of thermodynamics and heat transfer as applied to compressor performance
 * * Background in automotive

## Description

* Design and build test stands for evaluating scroll compressor and vacuum pump performance
 * Select and install test instrumentation (pressure transducers, flow meters, temperature sensors, etc.) for accurate data collection
 * Develop test plans and conduct performance, durability, and life testing of prototypes
 * Map compressor and vacuum pump performance (flow, power, efficiency, discharge temperature) across speed and pressure, and produce performance curves and data sheets
 * Analyze test data, diagnose issues, and recommend design solutions
 * Perform teardown and failure analysis of tested and field-returned units, and support root cause and corrective action with Design and Product Engineering
 * Write comprehensive test plans and formal test reports summarizing test setup and results, including reports for customers
 * Run thermal and acoustic testing using in-house thermal chambers and sound booth
 * Coordinate outside lab testing for shock and vibration, thermal shock, and EMC/EMI
 * Program and maintain LabVIEW applications to automate data acquisition and analysis
 * Communicate with motor controllers and vehicle systems over CAN bus using Vector tools
 * Maintain instrument calibration records and test equipment health to ensure measurement accuracy
 * Support production and end-of-line test development as products move toward release
 * Support the design team with cost optimization testing and material testing
 * Ensure test stands and lab practices meet safety requirements for pressurized equipment, rotating machinery, and high-voltage systems
 * Train and mentor engineering technicians on test procedures and data analysis
 * Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives
 * Occasional travel may be required
 * Overtime availability as needed
