  • Ensure the calibration and upkeep of testing apparatus and systems.
  • Install engines on dynamometers, connect instrumentation, troubleshoot issues, conduct tests, replace engine components as needed, and remove engines and instrumentation post-testing.

This is a full-time position, offering benefits such as medical, dental, and vision insurance, along with 14 paid holidays and 17 days of paid time off. We also provide $5,000 annually for tuition reimbursement. All necessary tools and personal protective equipment are supplied.
