Company

hirify.global builds precision technology instruments, sensors, and subsystems for mission-critical applications.

What you will do

• Own execution of Design Verification Plans & Reports (DVP&R) for assigned projects, coordinating cross-functional inputs to defined scope, schedule, and requirements.
• Develop and execute test plans, procedures, and setups for functional, environmental, and reliability validation (thermal/humidity cycling, vibration, shock, pressure, durability/life testing).
• Perform hands-on testing using lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power analyzers, DAQ systems, environmental test equipment).
• Collect, analyze, and document test data with accuracy and traceability to support engineering decisions and product validation.
• Contribute to DVP&R by authoring test sections, defining test conditions, and maintaining traceability between requirements and results.
• Execute structured, data-driven root cause investigations and support DFMEA activities (e.g., identifying failure modes and reflecting risks in validation plans).

Requirements

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, or Mechatronics) or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 3-5+ years of experience testing and validating electro-mechanical or electronics-based products with hands-on functional, environmental, and reliability testing.
• Experience executing test plans and working with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DMMs, DAQ systems, environmental chambers).
• Experience with DVP&R through test definition, execution, and documentation.
• Experience supporting structured root cause investigations using methods such as FMEA, RCCA, or 5-Why.
• Ability to travel routinely between Plainville, CT (main office) and Boxborough, MA (~10%), plus regional visits to third-party certification labs (~5%), for total travel below 15%.

Culture & Benefits

• Hands-on lab role focused on accurate, repeatable, data-driven validation results.
• Emphasis on engineering rigor: traceability, disciplined execution, and structured problem solving.
• Support for external validation efforts with coordination across internal teams and quality/compliance partners.
• Equal opportunity employer.
