We are hiring an R&D Technician to join our Engineering team!
DISCOVER
Are you hands-on, curious, and energized by figuring out how things work? As an R&D Technician, you’ll play a key role in bringing new products to life through testing, data analysis, and collaboration with engineering and manufacturing teams. This role supports product development efforts for Sauna360, where you’ll help test and validate sauna heaters and related components to ensure they meet performance, safety, and reliability standards. You’ll spend much of your time in the lab conducting tests, documenting results, and ensuring products are ready to move confidently into production.
You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality teams—helping answer production questions, support bill of material updates, and contribute to technical documentation and testing standards. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to build hands-on technical expertise. You’ll start by learning lab operations and testing standards, then progress to running live product tests and ultimately operating independently within the lab environment.
