Join Strohm as Our Next Mechanical Test Technician!
Are you ready for a technical challenge where you use both your hands and your mind?
At Strohm, we conduct tests that push boundaries. Think of inflating composite pipes under extreme pressure or pushing them to their limits until they implode. As a Test Technician, you play a key role in these innovative projects, where safety, precision, and technical expertise are central.
In this role, you are responsible for preparing and executing tests on composite materials and structures. You work closely with engineers to develop new technical solutions. One day, you’ll be building a complex test setup; the next, you’ll be configuring data loggers or analyzing test results to gain valuable insights.
At Strohm, we combine the power of technology and craftsmanship to set new standards in the composite industry. Do you want to work on tests that shape the future of composite technology? Then we would love to meet you!
