What You’ll Get to Do
If you're an engineer who'd rather be in the lab building a test rig than stuck behind a desk all day, this one's for you. CRL is looking for a Product Testing & Certification Engineer to own the testing & certification of the architectural hardware & fenestration products that go into commercial & residential buildings across the country. You'll be the person who takes a product from "does this actually meet code" to "certified & ready to ship," working hands-on with real materials, real fixtures & real test labs, not just paperwork.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, build & run tests on components & whole products, both in-house & at third-party labs
- Own the certification process for hardware & fenestration products through bodies like UL, NFRC, ANSI/BHMA & AAMA
- Build test fixtures, set logs, write reports that hold up to scrutiny
- Run First Article Inspections (FAI) when new vendors or new parts come online, catching nonconformances before they become problems
- Be the technical translator between Engineering, Product Development, Sales, Customer Service, Quality & Manufacturing, plus outside labs & certifiers
- Keep an eye on evolving codes & standards & flag what needs to change before it becomes an issue
- Create test methods from scratch when no standard already covers what you're testing
What You Bring
- Bachelor's degree in civil, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering (or an equivalent technical background)
- A genuine willingness to get hands-on build mockups, run tests, get in the plant. This isn't a desk job.
- Strong communication skills you can take a requirement, turn it into a test plan & report back clearly
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD Mechanical/Inventor & Microsoft Office
- Comfortable reading mechanical, shop & jobsite drawings
- Self-starter energy you can prioritize your own workload in a fast-paced, sometimes unpredictable environment
- Bonus points for prior experience in fenestration, architectural hardware, or with ASTM/AAMA/ANSI/BHMA/NFRC test methods
What OBE Offers You
- Benefits that benefit you – industry competitive benefits at the lowest cost to the employee
- Work-life balance – PTO and holidays, including floating holidays you can choose
- Compensation that rewards your hard work – A pay-for-performance culture with potential for annual raises and bonuses
