The Role

We are seeking an Engineering Maintenance and Technical Support Technician to work in several teams, where you will demonstrate your knowledge, skills, and ability to learn with a nominal amount of cross-training.

Troubleshooting and repair of all systems and components that make up the test cell facility, including drive systems, fuel systems, emissions analyzers, dynamometers, pumps, heaters, heat exchangers, motor vibration data collection equipment, filters, cell transducers, and wiring systems.
Installation, calibration, setup, and troubleshooting of exhaust gas emissions measurement equipment.
Performing preventive and predictive maintenance on test cell equipment and systems.

Associate degree or equivalent experience in an electrical-related field (circuit-level electronics, machine controls and maintenance, high-voltage systems, commercial electrical work, etc.) and/or related certifications; bachelor's degree preferred
3+ years of hands-on electrical and/or mechanical experience with demonstrated technical capability
Familiarity with the systems and equipment referenced above
Ability to read and interpret electrical and mechanical drawings
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across a broad range of electrical and mechanical systems

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
