Electrical Test & Validation Technician

Electrical Test & Validation Technician

Picture your day on our final test floor: you arrive to a queue of finished structures, units, and panels awaiting their last checkpoint. You build a test plan, power up systems, and move through mechanical, electrical, insulation, and sequence checks. With diagrams and schematics in hand, you verify every connection, confirm calibration, and document results. When something isn’t right, you trace the fault, collaborate with Engineering and Quality, and see corrective actions through before anything ships.
