Test Technician (Reliability / Environmental Testing)

About the Opportunity

CalTek Staffing is partnering with an innovative technology company at the forefront of advanced thermal solutions used in data centers, consumer electronics, and next-generation computing systems. This is an exciting opportunity to work hands-on with cutting-edge hardware in a lab environment supporting real-world product reliability and performance.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Reliability Testing Technician, you’ll play a key role in ensuring product performance, durability, and quality by executing and supporting a wide range of environmental and mechanical tests.

• Set up and operate reliability testing equipment (thermal chambers, humidity chambers, pressure cycling systems, etc.)
• Execute test plans based on engineering specifications
• Monitor tests and ensure accurate, safe operation
• Collect and document test data, conditions, and results
• Troubleshoot test setups, fixtures, and instrumentation
• Support failure analysis by documenting and collecting failed samples
• Assist engineers in improving test procedures and processes
• Maintain lab equipment and support preventative maintenance
• Ensure compliance with lab safety standards and protocols

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related field
• 2+ years of experience in:
  • Reliability testing
  • Environmental testing
  • Lab technician roles
• Experience working with environmental chambers or similar test equipment
• Ability to read engineering drawings and follow test procedures
• Basic understanding of instrumentation and data acquisition systems

Preferred:

• Experience with thermal cycling, humidity, or mechanical stress testing
• Familiarity with failure analysis and documentation
• Experience with data acquisition tools/software
• Strong troubleshooting skills in a lab environment

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work with cutting-edge thermal and hardware technology
• Hands-on lab environment (not a desk job)
• Opportunity to collaborate with engineers and influence product quality
• Potential for contract extension based on performance
