Test Laboratory Project Engineer (onsite)

What you will do

Our Test Laboratory Project Engineer performs detailed engineering tasks to include evaluation of engineering alternatives, analysis of data, calculations, CAD drawings, preparation of specifications and reports for the design, development, construction, and commissioning for mechanical, refrigeration, and process (MRP) elements required for HVAC test facilities. This position interacts with engineers, suppliers, and other departments to facilitate project completion. Project work includes MRP systems that simulate precise and extreme environmental conditions including temperature, humidity, precipitation (rain, snow, ice, fog, salt, etc.), air flow, liquid flow, and high-pressure vapor flow. This position is onsite and located in New Freedom, PA. Candidates must be commuting distance, or able to relocate.
