We're seeking a result-focused, innovative, self-driven, and well-qualified individual to join our talented team as our Application Engineering Lab Tech. Based out of our Torrington, Connecticut, location, you will evaluate product effectiveness in applied conditions by organizing an assigned test queue, executing complex and specialized tests, capturing complete records, preparing samples, maintaining instrument and lab readiness, verifying materials, and providing decision-ready data to Application Engineering, Sales, R&D, and Marketing.

In addition, you will:

• Interpret instructions and organize assigned workflow by validating objectives, building simple test matrices, controlling variables, recording conditions, and completing technical projects to defined quality standards within agreed timelines.
• Maintain robust, repeatable records by documenting methods, substrates, materials, results, and observations in databases and lab notebooks, and ensuring traceable, audit-ready entries that enable reproducible outcomes.
• Present findings to request originators by exploring issues, compiling clear visuals and summaries, and delivering concise written reports and business-case rationales that support timely decisions.
• Apply best practices in equipment use and test methods by learning device controls, following validated procedures, maintaining a clean, safe, and organized lab, replenishing supplies and samples, and handling chemicals according to SDS and PPE guidelines.
• Guide external stakeholders on standardized application techniques by demonstrating approved methods, replicating customer conditions where feasible, and resolving routine issues jointly to ensure accurate evaluations.
• Verify incoming raw materials quality by running defined mechanical tests, comparing results to specifications, analyzing variances, and documenting conformance or nonconformance with clear evidence.
• Document work instructions for repeatable results by capturing verification steps, chronologies, approvals, and accuracy checks under guidance, and updating instructions when methods are revised.
• Create test inputs for product data sheets (under guidance) by executing mechanical tests for new or repurposed products, compiling result tables, and submitting standardized performance summaries for PDS preparation.
