Résumé du poste

Torus, based in Utah, seeks a Test Engineer Technician to support test systems for flywheels and spin caps at the GigaOne facility in Salt Lake City. You will build, maintain, and enhance test setups, assist in LabVIEW-based automation, and help document repeatable test procedures under senior engineers.

This hands-on, early-career role offers mentorship and growth in hardware, instrumentation, and software integration, with an emphasis on safety around high-energy, high-speed equipment.

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing (in progress acceptable) or recently completed an Associate's or Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field — or equivalent vocational/technical training or hands-on experience
• 1-3+ years of relevant experience, or trained on the job; internships, co-ops, coursework, and hands-on project experience count
• Aptitude and willingness to learn LabVIEW and test software (exposure or coursework a plus)
• Basic familiarity with sensors, instrumentation, and data acquisition (DAQ) concepts
• Ability to read basic electrical and mechanical schematics
• Awareness of safe working practices around high-energy, high-voltage, high-speed equipment, and a commitment to following safety procedures
• Strong attention to detail, reliable documentation habits, and eagerness to learn

Responsabilités

• Assist in building and commissioning test setups for flywheels and spin caps
• Help implement new safety features on existing test systems
• Support modifications to test systems to accommodate new sensors, hardware, and instrumentation (including wiring and installation)
• Test automation & software (LabVIEW)
• Make guided modifications to existing LabVIEW test code, and grow toward improving flywheel control systems
• Assist senior test engineers in developing LabVIEW routines for new test requests from other teams (e.g., the temperature/humidity test setup requested by Mechanical Engineering)
• Help maintain and debug test software
• Performance & reliability testing
• Execute established FESS performance test plans, including cycle life testing, high power testing, and high speed testing
• Collect, log, and organize test data for engineering review
• Flag anomalies and assist in troubleshooting during testing
• Procedures & documentation
• Run and help document the End-of-Line Test (EOLT) procedure for the FESS line as it is established by senior engineers
• Help document test setups, procedures, and results so they are repeatable
• Support the transition of test methods from R&D into production validation
• Partner with Mechanical Engineering, R&D, Power Electronics, and Manufacturing on test requests
• Communicate test status and findings clearly to senior engineers and stakeholders
• Actively build skills under the mentorship of the test engineering team
• Once ramped, may help show new technicians the basics
