What if your electrical expertise powered the testing systems that engineers rely on every day?
What if no two days looked the same—and your troubleshooting skills truly mattered?
What if your next role puts you hands-on with large-scale, high-performance systems most technicians never get to touch?
Stress Engineering is where complex challenges meet hands‑on innovation. The company operates at the intersection of precision and real‑world performance, tackling environments defined by high pressures, heavy loads, and one‑of‑a‑kind testing systems. Every test in the lab supports critical decisions around safety, reliability, and performance—and that work depends on custom‑built equipment that must operate flawlessly. Stress Engineering thrives on solving problems that don’t have off‑the‑shelf answers, creating an exciting, fast‑paced environment where technical curiosity and adaptability are essential.

Power the Systems Behind Groundbreaking Engineering
SES is also a leader in both standardized and custom full‑scale testing, including force, displacement, fatigue, temperature, pressure, torque, noise, and vibration. Our industrial test laboratories—located in Northwest Houston and Waller, Texas—house some of the most advanced testing capabilities in the industry, including test frames capable of up to 18 million pounds of force, pressure systems up to 60,000 psi, and equipment designed to simulate extreme environments and conditions.

Why This Role Matters
As an Electrical Maintenance Technician, you’ll be a critical part of our industrial testing operations. The work you do keeps complex test systems running safely, accurately, and efficiently—directly enabling our engineers to validate, innovate, and push performance boundaries. When the equipment works flawlessly, the business moves faster. And you make that happen.

This isn’t routine maintenance. This is high‑impact, hands‑on technical work in a demanding test environment where your skills are valued and visible.
