What You’ll Get to Do
If you're an engineer who'd rather be in the lab building a test rig than stuck behind a desk all day, this one's for you. CRL is looking for a Product Testing & Certification Engineer to own the testing & certification of the architectural hardware & fenestration products that go into commercial & residential buildings across the country. You'll be the person who takes a product from "does this actually meet code" to "certified & ready to ship," working hands-on with real materials, real fixtures & real test labs, not just paperwork.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, build & run tests on components & whole products, both in-house & at third-party labs
- Own the certification process for hardware & fenestration products through bodies like UL, NFRC, ANSI/BHMA & AAMA
- Build test fixtures, set logs, write reports that hold up to scrutiny
- Run First Article Inspections (FAI) when new vendors or new parts come online, catching nonconformances before they become problems
- Be the technical translator between Engineering, Product Development, Sales, Customer Service, Quality & Manufacturing, plus outside labs & certifiers
- Keep an eye on evolving codes & standards & flag what needs to change before it becomes an issue
- Create test methods from scratch when no standard already covers what you're testing
What You Bring
- Bachelor's degree in civil, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering (or an equivalent technical background)
- A genuine willingness to get hands-on build mockups, run tests, get in the plant. This isn't a desk job.
- Strong communication skills you can take a requirement, turn it into a test plan & report back clearly
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD Mechanical/Inventor & Microsoft Office
- Comfortable reading mechanical, shop & jobsite drawings
- Self-starter energy you can prioritize your own workload in a fast-paced, sometimes unpredictable environment
- Bonus points for prior experience in fenestration, architectural hardware, or with ASTM/AAMA/ANSI/BHMA/NFRC test methods
Position Pay Range
$85,000—$110,000 USD

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
