Test Technician Jobs in Virginia

A Test Technician in the quality control industry plays a critical role in ensuring that products meet set safety, functionality, and quality standards. They conduct rigorous tests on various product samples, recording and analyzing test data, maintaining testing equipment, and compiling comprehensive reports on their findings. They coordinate with the manufacturing team to identify and rectify any defects, errors, or problems detected during testing. This role requires high attention to detail and significant technical knowledge. Their findings are crucial in decision-making procedures concerning product release, further development, and improvements.

Essential skills for a Test Technician include troubleshooting, technical aptitude, precision, and knowledge in the use of testing equipment and software. They should be proficient in data interpretation and report preparation, and have excellent communication skills. A certification such as Certified Quality Technician (CQT) from the American Society for Quality (ASQ) could be a huge advantage. Before becoming a Test Technician, a person may hold roles such as Quality Control Inspector, Production Operator, or Maintenance Technician. These roles provide valuable experience in quality checking, machinery handling, and understanding of manufacturing processes which are fundamental for a Test Technician role.
