We are helping our client find a Test Mechanical Engineering Technician to support the testing and validation of mechanical systems in a hands-on hardware development lab.
In this role, you'll execute mechanical test procedures, maintain test fixtures, and collect accurate measurements to evaluate hardware performance and reliability. Your testing activities, demonstrations, and documented results will also contribute to training AI systems to better understand hands-on physical work.
The ideal candidate brings hands-on mechanical testing experience, strong attention to detail, and the ability to follow established procedures while maintaining accurate test records.
Recording & Data Collection Notice
This role involves recording your work to support AI training and development. Lab cameras and screen recording on your work device will capture your activities. Depending on the project, you may also be asked to wear sensors, such as motion trackers or pressure-sensing gloves, that collect biometric data. Before starting, you'll receive details about the recording and data collection requirements specific to your role, how your data will be protected, and the consent process.
As a Test Mechanical Engineering Technician, you'll:
- Execute established mechanical test procedures to evaluate payload, reach, repeatability, backlash, torque, and cycle life.
- Set up, maintain, and troubleshoot mechanical test fixtures to support accurate and repeatable testing.
- Use calipers, gauges, and load cells to measure mechanical performance and record test results accurately.
- Review written and on-screen work instructions, identify inaccuracies, and provide feedback to improve testing procedures and documentation.
Requirements
- 2+ years in mechanical test or reliability labs.
- Fixtures and metrology.
- Flashing, functional and regression testing; multimeter, oscilloscope, electronic load and data logger.
- Tools: multimeter, oscilloscope, electronic load, data logger, flashing tools.
