About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Electrical Test Technician to join a forward-thinking energy solutions team in Chattanooga, TN. In this role, you’ll support the initial power-up and testing of modular electrical units, verifying functionality and ensuring everything is operating as intended before programming is installed. This is a great opportunity for someone with strong electrical and troubleshooting experience who is also looking to grow into a leadership role over time.

You’ll work inside a temperature-controlled test environment, powering up brand-new, state-of-the-art equipment and methodically checking for issues or defects.
