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
