Job description

As a Mechanical Test Engineer at Zaber, you will develop innovative test systems for analyzing the performance of our precision motion control products. This is a good opportunity to learn mechanical design, instrumentation, and programming in the context of helping to build and sell better products.

As a collaborative member of our team, you will perform tests on a variety of electromechanical devices, which involve setting up and running test equipment, writing automated test scripts, and analyzing results. You’ll gain experience working with a wide range of equipment, by running everything from nanometer scale accuracy on our laser interferometer to half-ton thrust in our warehouse space.

You will work on projects that will help to expand our measurement capabilities as we push into industrial markets and build more complex multi-axis systems. While prototyping components for these projects, you'll have full access to our well-equipped machine shop, which includes a waterjet, laser cutter, lathes, mills (both manual and CNC), and numerous other tools.

Zaber Technologies is a fast growing employee-owned motion control company that prides itself on promoting the growth of its employees. Internally, Zaber fosters a safe and respectful work environment and recognizes that the company’s growth has been achieved by empowering employees to make decisions, and providing flexibility to allow them to work in the way that they find most productive.

As a Mechanical Test Engineer, you will:

  • Gain a fundamental understanding of motion control systems through the process of diagnosing problems with production and prototype devices.
  • Investigate sources of error in test systems and implement strategies to mitigate or eliminate them.
  • Design, improve, and manufacture new test jigs when necessary.
  • Write Python scripts to automate our tests and use data analysis tools to convey important conclusions.
  • Create test plans, run tests, analyze results, write reports, and collaborate with designers/developers to ensure the desired information is captured.

What we're looking for:

  • Keen interest for digging deep into problems and optimizing processes.
  • Hands-on experience or mechanical aptitude, preferably with precision systems; be sure to tell us about any past work with mechanical systems.
  • Experience with Python, object oriented programming, and data analysis.
  • A degree in mechanical, mechatronics engineering, or similar.
  • Currently enrolled in a degree or diploma program.

Mechanical Test Engineer Wage:

  • Wage: $24 - $28/hour depending on experience.
  • Closing Date: October 3, 2026.
  • Start Date: January 2027.
  • Length of position: 8 months preferred, 4 or 12 months optional.
  • Team: Test Engineering Team
