Technician jobs in France

As an early-stage technology developer we need to quickly find the right paths forward. This often means doing experiments and building prototypes to assess the viability of a potential solution. This experimentation leads to design concepts which then need to be systematically validated. Building a team of exceptional test engineers who can operate effectively in both modes is critical to Pascal’s success.

We are looking for a Test Technician to help develop our solid refrigerant technology by executing extensive thermal and materials testing programs. This role will be critical to developing our testing suite and ensuring we learn what we want to know. The position is temporary, starting immediately with a 6-month contract, with potential for renewal.

Job Duties/Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Pascal's materials scientists and engineers to design experimental equipment and develop test procedures
• Execute exploratory experiments and debug rapidly-built prototypes
• Execute structured experiments to determine compliance with design targets
• Set up new sensors, controllers and the associated data acquisition equipment
• Develop control scripts and other automations
• Analyze test data and track testing status using advanced statistics and data processing techniques
• Coordinate with the extended technical team to diagnose and troubleshoot abnormalities in systems performance and materials behaviors
• Report and discuss recent results and long-term learnings with the team.
• Maintain laboratory cleanliness, safety, and productivity for other lab users

Skills and knowledge:

• Proven track record of experimentation in a materials science/chemistry environment
• Experience in product validation and certification test programs
• Experience with various data acquisition and controls platforms including:
  • Industrial PLCs (Beckhoff)
  • Laboratory oriented systems such as LabJack, Arduino, National Instruments etc.
• Familiarity with precision gas handling equipment, heat exchangers, fluid state and flow measurements, and controls

Essential traits for succeeding at advanced hardware development startups:

• Comfortable working on open-ended problems
• Comfortable with rapidly-changing goals and priorities
• Able to work with directional/aspirational goals rather than precise targets/specs
• Hungry to learn and solve problems in a new technology field
• Excited to work in a collaborative development environment

The salary range for this role is $40,000–$45,000 for a 6-month term, and may be higher if commensurate with experience. We are committed to equitable compensation across our company, and we offer a generous benefits package to make sure you have the support you need.

At Pascal, we are working on the next generation of cooling. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all our employees and are seeking to build a diverse team that reflects the people and communities we hope to serve with our revolutionary technology. Pascal is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
