If you’re a multi-talented, mechanically-inclined individual who enjoys carpentry, welding, CAD design, processing test data, and technical research, the Center for Building Innovation has the perfect opportunity for you! We are looking for a creative, ambitious self-starter to work in our state-of the-art structural testing facility.

Responsibilities

• Create and utilize drawings and other resources to set up product testing.
• Set up monitoring sensors and programming data acquisition equipment to monitor load and movement of structures during testing. This can range from small tests of individual fasteners, to large-scale, complex installations requiring hundreds of sensors.
• Construct, fabricate, and install test specimens, such as walls and trusses, into testing fixtures. This includes work with wood, steel, and concrete.
• Fabricate custom machine components for use during testing.
• Set up and maintain complex equipment including mechanical, hydraulic, and electronic systems.

The right candidate must be able to perform accurate, detailed work. Experience in residential construction or the truss manufacturing industry is a plus.

This position may advance to Testing Lead, which involves managing specific testing projects while also directing lab assistants in proper equipment use and test sample construction.

This is a full-time, onsite position. Salary commensurate with experience/qualifications.
