Mechanical Test Engineer-Business Benefit Team

Job Responsibilities

Define success from the start by understanding each pilot system’s purpose—identifying what we aim to prove, optimize, or unlock—and ensuring testing efforts directly support meaningful product outcomes.

Design and lead dynamic test strategies that guide products from early concept through commercial release, using your engineering expertise to validate performance, mitigate risk, and accelerate innovation.

Build and execute robust test plans, translating complex technical results into clear, actionable insights that resonate across engineering, product, and commercial teams.

Turn data into design improvements by interpreting test results, equipment behavior, and real-time observations—driving immediate system optimizations and shaping next-generation conveyance solutions.

Own and solve complex technical challenges, bringing structure, curiosity, and rigor to ambiguous problems while delivering clear conclusions and forward-looking recommendations.

Grow into a subject matter expert, deepening your knowledge of conveyance technologies to influence product direction, inspire innovation, and elevate overall system performance.

Advance modular plastic belting solutions through hands-on, application-driven testing that demonstrates value, uncovers new use cases, and strengthens product differentiation.

Collaborate on innovative design solutions, providing 2D/3D modeling support for custom test equipment, prototypes, and system enhancements that push product capabilities forward.

Enhance testing capabilities by developing jigs, fixtures, software tools, and streamlined processes that improve efficiency, repeatability, and scalability.

Partner with cross-functional teams to refine test plans, share insights, and continuously improve testing methodologies and outcomes.

Build a knowledge foundation by organizing and maintaining a comprehensive database of test results, enabling data-driven decisions and long-term product evolution.

Integrate emerging AI capabilities into the testing environment to automate workflows, unlock deeper insights, and improve overall engineering productivity.
