We are seeking a Lab Engineer II with expertise in LabVIEW programming, PLC systems, material handling equipment, and test system development to support our testing laboratory operations. The ideal candidate will combine electrical and programming capabilities to implement test systems, wire and integrate material handling equipment, and collaborate with senior engineers.
Key job responsibilities
Implement automated test systems utilizing LabVIEW and PLC architecture
Assist with electrical panel layouts and designs for test equipment
Perform wiring, installation, and integration of material handling equipment
Execute comprehensive test strategies and methodologies
Configure data acquisition systems for measurement applications
Perform mechanical assembly and integration of test equipment
Program and troubleshoot PLCs for material handling systems and test automation
Support senior engineers on test system development and troubleshooting
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement test requirements and improve product quality
Execute test system validation protocols
Participate in continuous improvement initiatives for testing processes and equipment
Create technical documentation and follow standard operating procedures
A day in the life
No two days look the same. As a Lab Engineer II, you'll move fluidly between programming, hands-on wiring, test system assembly, and collaborative problem-solving — often within the same shift. Priorities shift based on project timelines, equipment needs, and testing schedules. Flexibility and the ability to pivot quickly are essential.
About the team
We are the Test Engineering and Lab Operations team within MHE Hardware at OneMHS. Our team owns and operates testing laboratories in Cincinnati, OH and Seattle, WA — purpose-built facilities where we validate, test, and qualify material handling equipment and systems that power Amazon's fulfillment network.
We operate conveyor test loops, electronics testing stations, motor testing capabilities, and fabrication areas that allow us to exercise technologies at the component, subsystem, and full system level. We provide the space, personnel, and tools that the OneMHS organization needs to successfully develop and validate the next generation of material handling solutions.
