Eurofins Electrical and Electronics is investing in its Environmental Simulation and Reliability Lab in Baltimore, and we are looking for a hands-on leader to own it. This is a bench-present role for an experienced lab professional who wants full ownership of a department: the people, the schedule, the customers, the equipment roadmap, and the growth. Our Baltimore lab delivers climatic, mechanical, and dynamic environmental testing across commercial, industrial, telecommunications, automotive, and emerging technology markets, with a growing Military, Defense, and Aerospace practice. You will run the day-to-day commercial book of business and lead the expansion into MIL-scope work, including MIL-STD-810, RTCA/DO-160, HALT/HASS, and reliability life testing, as a defined growth vertical with real investment behind it. Baltimore sits inside one of the densest defense and technology corridors in the country, with Aberdeen Proving Ground, the Naval Academy, and a deep base of prime contractors within driving distance. You will have a direct line to sales and operations leadership and meaningful influence over the lab's capability roadmap and customer relationships. If you are looking for a desk job, this is not it. You are on the floor every day, setting the technical standard by example. Environmental Simulation & Reliability Lab Manager & Duties Include but are not Limited to the Following: - Full operation of the Environmental Simulation and Reliability Lab, including technical staff leadership, revenue and budget performance, project coordination, and on-time delivery. - Daily scheduling, RFQ intake and quoting from the National Sales Team, and customer relationships across the full commercial book of business. - Hands-on execution and oversight of climatic, mechanical, and dynamic testing, including thermal, vibration, shock, humidity, altitude, and combined environments. - Direct management of lab engineers and technicians, owning their daily direction, development, and performance. - Development and review of test plans and procedures to ASTM, IEC, MIL-STD-810, RTCA/DO-160, customer specifications, and internal protocols. - ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation compliance, internal audits, calibration programs, and equipment maintenance. - CAPEX proposals and the equipment roadmap to support capability growth and operational reliability. - Growth of the Military, Defense, and Aerospace vertical alongside the regional sales team, including new and reinstated service offerings. - Technical sales support, including proposals, customer site visits, and program pursuits with prime contractors and Tier 1 suppliers. - Collaboration with Eurofins labs across the network to deliver integrated testing solutions and share best practices.
