Full Description

Goodwill TalentBridge is partnering with an innovative manufacturing organization to hire a hands‑on Engineering Technician for a 3–6 month contract supporting New Product Development, testing, and prototyping. This role focuses on mechanical assembly, test fixture build‑out, functional and reliability testing, data collection, and pilot build support in a manufacturing environment.

What You’ll Do In this role, you will support engineering teams by building test setups, executing test plans, analyzing results, and providing hands-on support for prototypes and pilot builds.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up, instrument, and execute functional, reliability, and environmental tests according to defined test plans
• Build and iterate test fixtures and jigs (mechanical, pneumatic, and electro-mechanical), including sensors and data acquisition components
• Capture accurate and repeatable test data (pressure, flow, temperature, mass, force, displacement) with full traceability
• Author clear, concise test reports including methods, results, plots/tables, and pass/fail conclusions
• Present test findings to engineers and project stakeholders
• Maintain test logs, maintenance records, and active issues logs
• Assemble, debug, and support prototypes; perform fit and finish checks
• Support pilot builds on the manufacturing line
• Conduct root cause investigations including tear-downs and measurements, and assist with corrective actions
• Maintain a clean, organized lab environment following 5S principles
• Build and test Alpha and Beta machines

Required Qualifications

• Associate degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Technology, or a related field (Bachelor’s degree a plus)
• 3–5 years of experience in a manufacturing, test lab, or new product development environment
• Strong mechanical skills including precision assembly, fasteners, pneumatics, tubing/fittings, and basic 3D printing
• Ability to work independently from a test plan, create fixtures, execute tests, and document results clearly
• Experience working with gauges and sensors (pressure, flow, temperature, weight/force, displacement)
• Comfort with data logging and basic data analysis
• Basic electrical and wiring experience (12–48 VDC), including soldering and crimping
• Familiarity with technical documentation and test procedure execution
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality and safety
• Basic computer skills for data entry, documentation, and equipment control
• Effective communication and teamwork skills
