About HEN

HEN Technologies is a purpose-driven organization pioneering the development of advanced tools for firefighting in both wildland and structural applications. Utilizing principles of fluid dynamics and thermal science, we have designed a range of products poised to redefine fire suppression techniques. Our dedication to innovation has earned recognition and support from the National Science Foundation.

Role Description

HEN is seeking an Engineering Technician to help shape the next generation of advanced firefighting equipment. In this role, you will play a key part in building and testing products that first responders rely on in the toughest modern structural and wildfire conditions. You’ll work closely with our design engineers to assemble cutting-edge firefighting equipment — from one-off prototypes to engineering test units — and develop custom test fixtures to support product validation. You’ll execute test procedures, troubleshoot and repair mechanical and electromechanical components, and provide direct feedback to improve performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

We’re looking for someone hands-on, resourceful, and curious — a builder who can master existing processes while constantly finding better ways to work. You’ll help create a world-class prototyping shop, influence product design through real-world build and test insights, and see your work translate directly into life-saving tools. This is an exciting opportunity to refine your technical expertise, work with a passionate engineering team, and make a tangible impact on the safety and effectiveness of firefighters everywhere.

What you'll do :

• Build and test mechanical assemblies and systems with precision, working closely with engineers to ensure parts meet design intent.
• Inspect and measure components using precision tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges) and document key dimensions and features.

Support the shop by maintaining tools and equipment, tracking inventory, and sourcing parts needed for prototypes and builds.
