Hybrid Electric CAD​/Test Integration Technician

Hybrid Electric CAD / Test Integration Technician

The Hybrid Electric CAD / Test Integration Technician reports to the Hybrid Electric Systems Test Manager and is responsible for enabling safe, efficient, right‑first‑time test integration through CAD modeling, installation layouts and storyboards, as‑built configuration capture, and hands‑on integration & test support across multiple hybrid‑electric test sites. The role operates as a hands‑on doer and integrator, working between Test Leads, TEH owners, Test Systems, and site operators/technicians to translate integration needs into buildable hardware packages and clear installation work instructions.

• Develop and maintain 3D CAD models of test cells, setups, fixtures, and instrumentation layouts to support test planning, safety, and efficient installation.
• Create installation layout packages (assembly storyboards, visual work instructions, routing diagrams, keep‑outs, access/guarding notes) for test‑enabling hardware and instrumentation integration.
• Support instrumentation integration by detailing placement, bracket concepts, cable/hose routing, and labeling maps in coordination with Test Systems, TEH owners, and Test Leads.
• Enable test readiness through walk‑downs and fit checks, capturing constraints early (interference, access, serviceability) and driving closure actions with accountable owners.
• Capture as‑built configuration and evidence (red‑lines, photos, final CAD updates) and ensure the released installation package reflects what was actually installed and tested.
• Support kitting and staging by creating simple, visual kitting aids (exploded views, kit photo sheets, identification/label guides) to reduce installation and schedule risk.
• Coordinate effectively with site operators/technicians and partner teams, respecting facility boundaries, and ensuring clear communication of readiness status and integration needs.
• Capture lessons learned and best practices and contribute to standard work that improves repeatability and speed in future test campaigns.
• Support test operations as a test technician and/or test director assistant (under Test Lead direction) to ensure safe, well‑managed test execution.

• High school diploma / GED from an accredited institution, or Associate’s degree (preferred).
• Minimum 10 years of experience in a CAD designer, CAD technician, prototype technician, or test integration technician role supporting mechanical/electrical hardware integration in an industrial, aerospace, automotive, or lab environment.
• Demonstrated experience using NX for 3D modeling and Visio for diagrams/work instructions.
• Ability to work on‑site in Evendale, OH and Dayton, OH (GE EPISCenter); periodic travel to other test sites as program needs require.
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required; we will not sponsor employment visas.

• Experience creating installation documentation/packages (layouts, routing, keep‑outs, interface notes) for test rigs, instrumentation, harnessing, or industrial equipment.
• Comfort operating in test cells and shops: hands‑on measurement, fit checks, coordination with operators/technicians, and practical bias for safe execution.
• Strong attention to detail and traceability mindset (as‑built capture, red‑lines, photo evidence, revision updates).
• Clear, concise communicator who can operate effectively in a distributed, cross‑functional team environment.
• Self‑starter with strong problem‑solving skills; thrives in fast‑moving and ambiguous test environments.

This role requires access to U.S. export‑controlled information. Employment will be contingent upon the ability to prove you meet the status of a U.S. Person (e.g., U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. citizen, etc.).
