Position Overview

As a Validation Engineer on ODL's Validation Lab team, you'll be the go-to expert on mechanical testing and industry standards. You'll partner closely with Product Engineers to design test plans and procedures that rigorously evaluate new products, and your work will directly shape the quality of every product ODL brings to market.

Essential Job Functions

  • Product Testing: Assist with running and coordinating the tests that keep product launches on schedule both internally and externally. Help design and build test fixtures for new industry and product tests, and coordinate the lab's FileMaker database.
  • Test Plan Development: Use DVP&Rs to build test plans that prove products meet their performance, reliability, and confidence requirements.
  • External Support: Collaborate with external labs and partners on regulatory testing, keeping test plans and project timelines on track.
  • Testing Improvements: Help find better ways to test. Drive continuous improvement in lab equipment and procedures using Six Sigma tools and best practices, and help keep equipment accurately calibrated.
  • Technical Data Analysis: Turn raw test data into clear answers using sound statistical methods including Six Sigma Green Belt tools.
  • Technical Report Writing and Approval: Verify the data, draw the conclusions, and translate complex results into clear, concise reports that help the team make confident product decisions.

What Sets You Up for Success

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field
  • 1+ years of product testing experience or relevant internship experience
  • Strong problem-solving skills, including Six Sigma Green Belt training or equivalent
  • Experience using and developing DVP&Rs
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical results to any audience
  • Knowledge of the building products and fenestration industry is helpful
  • Ability to follow safety procedures and lift/maneuver up to 100 pounds

Why You'll Love This Role

You'll do hands-on engineering work in a fully equipped Validation Lab, not just analysis behind a desk. You'll see the products you test go to market and know you helped make them better. You'll build your Six Sigma, statistics, and test-design skills while working with Product Engineers and external partners.
