Test Technician

What You'll Do

As a Test Technician, you will own the functional validation of our power systems and energy equipment before they reach the customer. This is a critical, high-visibility role where your ability to identify failures fast and communicate findings clearly directly affects our ability to ship on time and at the quality our customers depend on. You will work side-by-side with engineering and assembly teams in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment where your expertise keeps us moving.

Where You'll Work

This role will be based in our Houston MV Facility office. You must be willing to work in the office full-time.

We're onsite because velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure. Solving complex problems in real-time with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Finance leaders is how we move faster than a slow, antiquated industry.
