In this role, you’ll assemble, wire, and test instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment that supports our engineering and system development efforts. You’ll build and integrate components such as sensors, transmitters, and control panels; perform bench-level and functional testing; and assist with prototype evaluations and troubleshooting.

Day-to-day work includes soldering, cable and harness fabrication, panel wiring, and using test equipment such as multimeters and oscilloscopes to verify system performance. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, maintain detailed documentation, and uphold high standards for lab organization, quality, and safety.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on technical work, takes pride in precision craftsmanship, and is eager to learn more about instrumentation, controls, and system testing in a dynamic lab environment.

Responsibilities

• Assemble and build I&C system components, panels, and assemblies per engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, and work instructions.
• Perform bench-level testing of sensors, transmitters, controllers, and signal conditioning equipment.
• Support system integration by wiring, configuring, and verifying I&C connections and test setups.
• Assist with prototype builds, hardware troubleshooting, and calibration activities.
• Execute calibration and verification procedures using standard lab equipment.
• Document build and test results, including assembly records, data, and nonconformance reports.
• Maintain lab organization, tool control, and a safe working environment.
• Support functional and environmental testing such as continuity, insulation resistance, and signal verification.
• Follow all Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) standards and lab protocols.
• Collaborate with engineers and technicians to identify and resolve design or test issues.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by updating procedures and work instructions.
