QA Test Lab Engineer

About this Role
We are seeking a Test Lab Engineer to build, configure, and maintain building automation test rigs and systems for developers and T&I (test and integration) engineers. You will apply field experience with Automated Logic (ALC) products and controls wiring to create reliable test environments that reflect real-world installations. Working with engineering teams, you will prepare hardware, wiring, networks, and system configurations for development, integration, and troubleshooting. This is an entry-level engineering role requiring hands-on ALC field experience; no college degree is required.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and modify test rigs and systems using ALC controllers, sensors, actuators, and related building automation equipment to meet developer and T&I engineering requirements.
• Assemble, wire, label, and inspect controls panels and test fixtures using approved drawings, wiring diagrams, and lab safety procedures.
• Install and configure WebCTRL, controller firmware, network connections, and system databases to support requested test environments.
• Verify wiring, controller communications, input/output operation, and basic system readiness before handing test rigs over to developers and T&I engineers.
• Troubleshoot test-rig hardware, wiring, and connectivity issues; help engineering teams reproduce field configurations and reported problems.
• Maintain wiring diagrams, equipment inventories, configuration records, and setup instructions so test systems can be reused and restored consistently.
• Coordinate test-rig requirements, equipment availability, build priorities, and readiness with developers and T&I engineers.
• Maintain an organized lab and follow electrical safety, equipment-handling, and electrostatic discharge procedures; perform only work covered by training and authorization.

Minimum Qualifications

• High School diploma or GED

• 1+ years field experience installing, configuring, commissioning, or troubleshooting building automation systems (BAS)
• Ability to travel both domestic and international

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ALC products, including WebCTRL and ALC controllers.
• Experience assembling controls panels, test benches, or demonstration systems.
• Familiarity with HVAC equipment operation and translating field installations into representative lab setups.
• Experience configuring BACnet networks and troubleshooting building automation communications.
• Experience maintaining WebCTRL databases, system backups, and multiple controller or firmware configurations.
• Experience documenting panel layouts, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, or lab setup instructions.
• Exposure to engineering lab support, issue-tracking tools, or basic scripts used to configure and restore test systems.
