DescriptionTest Engineer Stewartville, MN | Full-Time | On-Site
About the RoleWere looking for a Test Engineer to join a small, capable engineering team. This role is a genuine mix of lab work and desk work - youll be running and setting up tests, designing fixtures in SolidWorks, analyzing data, writing reports, and supporting new product development. One day you might be operating hydraulic test equipment on the floor; the next youre doing tolerance stack-up analysis or writing a test procedure.
The person who does well here is naturally curious, comfortable figuring things out independently, and gets energy from a role that doesnt look the same everyday.
What Youll Do- Design test fixtures using SolidWorks (3D models, drawings, GD&T per ANSI Y14.5)
- Set up and execute tests - instrumentation, data acquisition, fixturing, physical handling of test articles
- Analyze test data (including statistical analysis) and draw meaningful conclusions
- Write test plans, procedures, and reports
- Perform structural analysis and tolerance stack-up analysis
- Support new product development: quote packages, prototype procurement, production support
- Maintain and calibrate lab equipment
- Provide technical input to Operations, Manufacturing, and customers
What Were Looking For- Bachelors degree in Mechanical, Composites, Civil, or Materials Engineering - minimum 3.5 GPA
- SolidWorks proficiency (3D modeling, assemblies, GD&T drawings)
- Coursework or applied experience in statics, machine design, or structural analysis
- Hands-on comfort - youre fine using manual tools, power tools, and working around equipment like overhead cranes and hydraulic systems (well train the specifics)
- Self-directed; you can take a task with minimal guidance and run with it
- Internship, co-op, or meaningful project experience is preferred - a strong senior design project with real depth counts
- FEA experience is a plus, not a requirement
Physical Work ConditionsTime should be split between test labs and the office or meeting rooms ranging anywhere from 25% to 75% in engineering labs. While working in the labs there will be work with and around moving machinery, fumes and chemicals. Office work requires sitting at a desk, using a computer and phone.
