FULL DESCRIPTION: The primary role of the Electromechanical Test & Calibration Technician will be to ensure and further bolster the outstanding quality of calibration and system-level testing of  torque sensor product line. The candidate will apply the most exacting standards of quality in testing and calibrating systems and the highest level of craftsmanship in product final assembly. As the company delivers products that measure mechanical parameters and provide electrical analog and digital output signals, the candidate will need to be prepared to carry out a combination of mechanical testing, electrical testing, and data acquisition as well as be comfortable with electrical (especially soldering) and mechanical assembly. The technician will have the opportunity to be exposed to various aspects of the production cycle, with a primary emphasis on testing and calibration. The types of tasks an Electromechanical Test & Calibration Technician will be responsible for carrying out are listed below.

The selected candidate will be responsible for: 

• Test and calibrate torque sensor systems using electromechanical and electro-hydraulic torsion testers. This task includes physically setting up the machinery, installing fixtures, setting up test sequences, acquiring and monitoring data, etc.
• Operate and troubleshoot test equipment software running LabVIEW, TestSuite, and/or Python scripts. Check data for compliance with product quality metrics. Point out issues with equipment and/or product validation data to the rest of the team.
• Carry out production process for deliverable systems: demagnetization, magnetization, mechanical testing, environmental testing, and calibration of sensor systems, comparing the company torque sensor output with reference torque sensor output and comparing system performance with required product specifications
• Evaluate and help improve sensor performance as a function of various parameters such as shaft

material and heat treatment, relative sensor position, magnetization parameters, environmental conditions (e.g. temperature), or sensor layout/geometry

• Operate, maintain, and upgrade major equipment and associated subsystems (e.g. torque test rigs, electronics, hydraulic pumps, accumulators, and actuators, chillers, cooling and heating equipment, and magnetization and demagnetization equipment)
• Work closely with engineers to acquire and analyze data, document, improve, and optimize the calibration and testing processes with a view to improving process efficiency and safety, and/or product performance
• Perform R&D testing on new product features or product configurations, supporting design and development engineers in validating improvements to the product line
• Physically build deliverable sensor systems: assemble mechanical components, solder electronic components, apply coatings to printed circuit boards, install printed circuit boards into sensor housings, precisely cut and strip wiring, mount fasteners, fasten and/or seal electro-mechanical assemblies by applying various bonding and/or sealing agents
• Participate in failure analyses by dissecting and analyzing hardware returned from the field, conducting diagnostic and validation testing, and comparing with original results. Assist in writing and issuing detailed reports outlining findings

The selected candidate will also possess:

• Applicants must have at least 2 years of full-time work experience in a related role
• A background in mechanical testing and data acquisition is preferred (e.g. experience as a dynamometer operator or a laboratory technician who as worked with sensors)
• Experience with control systems, automated machinery, or data acquisition setups
• A strong concern for safety and quality
• Proficiency with LabVIEW, MTS Test Suite, or Python software preferred but not required
• Applicants should be detail-oriented with strong mechanical, electrical, and software skills
• Familiarity with wiring harness assembly protocols using AWG 20-guage harnesses or smaller
• Familiarity with processing adhesives, soldering, and general machine shop skills
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and electrical schematics
• Understanding and knowledge of sensor and instrumentation calibration protocols

Salary Range: $32-$40/hr
