• Start and monitor test programs according to established procedures.
• Inspect tested elements for quality, leaks, paint defects, and overall test results.
• Reconfigure test cells when switching between different element types.

This role requires the use of specific personal protective equipment (PPE), manual handling of components, and working in a production environment.

Your skills and experience

• Technical secondary education (TSO/BSO) or equivalent experience.
