  • Prepare clear and concise test reports summarizing results, observations, deviations, and recommendations.
  • Assist in developing test protocols, validation procedures, and acceptance criteria.
  • Support prototype assembly, integration, and evaluation activities.
  • Investigate and reproduce reported issues to assist engineering teams in root cause analysis and corrective actions.
  • Maintain laboratory equipment, test fixtures, and test records in accordance with quality procedures.
  • Collaborate with engineering, applications, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure successful product development and transfer.

Required
  • Bachelor's degree in Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Materials Science, Engineering, or another scientific discipline with 1-2 years of experience
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
