Testing Technician

About the role

As a Testing Technician, you will lead RFI/compliance efforts while supporting general testing functions. This specialized position works closely with design engineers throughout the R&D phase and beyond, conducting Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing to ensure products meet regulatory emission standards prior to final certification.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing, partnering with design engineers during the R&D phase to proactively identify potential interference risks and ensure products meet regulatory emission standards
• Conduct thermal, material, and component testing according to established schedules by the testing coordinator, working in direct partnership with design engineers to understand testing specifications and ensure all procedures align with project requirements
• Collaborate with design engineers to ensure Equipment Under Test (EUT) is assembled correctly according to design intent and verify that testing equipment is adequate and calibrated for specific project requirements
• Maintain accurate and systematic records of all test results, practice disciplined note-taking, and draft clear test reports that demonstrate understanding of the test's purpose
• Investigate, diagnose, and flag discrepancies encountered during testing immediately, engaging proactively with design engineers to analyze root causes and implement corrective actions
• Operate testing instruments and tools safely and work with the testing coordinator to define maintenance schedules and calibration standards
• Continuously partner with testing coordinator and design engineers to identify opportunities for optimizing testing workflows and propose improvements while ensuring full compliance with quality standards
• Strictly adhere to safety protocols and regulations during all activities and maintain open communication regarding safety considerations
• Support the installation, integration, and calibration of new testing systems, validating that equipment installations meet required performance standards
• Assemble hardware prototypes of electrical and electronic circuits by accurately translating schematics into physical assemblies in constant coordination with design engineers
