  • Support the development, documentation, and execution of test procedures and acceptance criteria.
  • Ensure accurate collection, validation, and documentation of performance data, including temperature, flow, pressure, and electrical power.
  • Review test results, identify performance issues, and coordinate troubleshooting and corrective actions.
  • Lead or support root cause analysis for testing failures and recurring equipment issues.
  • Ensure testing results are properly documented and required acceptance criteria are met before equipment is approved for shipment.
  • Provide testing feedback to engineering and R&D to support product improvements, design validation, and reliability.

Facility & Equipment Readiness

  • Maintain the operational readiness, reliability, and upkeep of factory test equipment, test infrastructure, and supporting systems.
  • Ensure instrumentation and measurement equipment are properly calibrated and maintained.
  • Identify equipment maintenance needs and coordinate repairs or improvements to minimize testing downtime.
  • Ensure safe refrigerant handling and compliance with applicable environmental, electrical, and workplace safety requirements.
