About Us
We are a rapidly growing science, engineering, and biotechnology company developing advanced laboratory instruments, molecular diagnostics, sequencing platforms, and automated manufacturing systems.
Our products integrate mechanical engineering, electronics, fluidics, optics, molecular biology, and software into complete systems used in laboratories around the world.
We're looking for a Test & Validation Engineer who enjoys breaking products, solving problems, and ensuring every system performs reliably before it reaches customers.
The Role
As a Test & Validation Engineer, you'll own the verification and validation of our products throughout development and production.
You'll design test plans, build automated test systems, investigate failures, analyze data, and work closely with engineering teams to improve product reliability.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys understanding how complex systems work and has the curiosity to find why they don't.
Responsibilities
- Design and execute verification and validation test plans
- Develop repeatable test procedures for new products
- Build and improve automated test fixtures and test equipment
- Perform mechanical, electrical, fluidic, and software testing
- Analyze failures and perform root cause investigations
- Document defects and work with engineering teams to resolve issues
- Collect, analyze, and present performance data
- Validate design changes before production release
- Develop production acceptance testing procedures
- Support reliability, environmental, and life-cycle testing
- Maintain detailed test documentation and reports
- Continuously improve testing efficiency and product quality
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a related discipline
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills
- Excellent attention to detail
- Comfortable working with multidisciplinary systems
- Strong written documentation and communication skills
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
Preferred Experience
Experience with one or more of the following is considered an asset:
- Product verification and validation
- Laboratory instrumentation
- Biotechnology or medical devices
- Automated test equipment
- Python or scripting for automation
- Electronics testing
- Fluidics or pneumatic systems
- Mechanical assembly
- Root cause analysis
- Statistical data analysis
- Reliability or environmental testing
- Design verification (DV) and production validation (PV)
- ISO 13485 or regulated product development
- CAD software and engineering drawings
AI-Native Workplace
We use Claude Code, ChatGPT, and other AI tools to accelerate test development, data analysis, report generation, troubleshooting, and documentation.
Successful candidates should be excited to integrate AI into their daily engineering workflow.
What Success Looks Like
- Product issues are identified early in development
- Test procedures are repeatable, efficient, and well documented
- Engineering teams receive clear, actionable feedback
- Product reliability continuously improves
- Production testing is streamlined and scalable
- Root causes are identified quickly and permanently resolved
Why Join Us?
- Work on cutting-edge biotechnology and laboratory instrumentation
- Help ensure products are reliable before they reach customers
- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, software, and molecular biology teams
- Build automated testing systems and improve engineering quality
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Paid vacation
- Significant opportunities for career growth as the company expands
How to Apply
Please submit your resume along with a brief description of projects where you've designed tests, investigated failures, improved product reliability, or built automated test systems.
We're looking for engineers who enjoy asking, "Why did this fail?" and won't stop until they find the answer.
Pay: $65,000.00-$105,000.00 per year
Work Location: In person
