About the Role
We are seeking a hands-on Senior Test Technician to support the early-stage development and testing of electrical enclosures designed for high-density liquid cooling systems. This position is critical for advancing technologies used in high-performance computing and data center applications.
The Senior R&D Test Technician will partner closely with engineers to build prototypes, assemble complex test setups, and execute experimental testing as new cooling and enclosure solutions are brought to life. This role is ideal for candidates with a background in electromechanical testing within a laboratory or industrial environment, particularly those transitioning from HVAC technician roles who are comfortable navigating mechanical systems, electrical components, and cooling equipment.
In this capacity, you will be the bridge between design concepts and physical reality, assisting with hands-on troubleshooting, system modifications, and iterative prototype builds to ensure reliability and performance.
