Main Responsibilities:
• Execute defined test procedures under supervision (follow step‑by‑step test plans and safety checklists prepared by senior engineers).
• Assist with test bench setup: mount components, route hoses/cables, connect basic sensors (temperature, pressure, flow) and verify correct labeling.
• Perform basic pre‑test checks: cleanliness, visual inspection for leaks/loose fittings, confirm refrigerant type and quantity with guidance.
• Operate measurement equipment at a basic level (thermocouples, pressure transducers, flow meters) and record readings accurately.
• Log and organize data using company templates (Excel/CSV or simple DAQ interfaces), ensure traceability and version control.
• Maintain a test logbook: document test conditions, anomalies, and time stamps; escalate issues to the lab leader promptly.
• Support routine maintenance of test benches and tools (cleaning, 5S organization, scheduling calibration checks with senior staff).
