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

Position Pay Range

$85,000—$110,000 USD
