What this job asks for AI summary
A hands-on lab role focused on executing test plans for both new and existing hardware products against product requirements and engineering specifications. The work involves mechanical inspection using tools such as calipers and digital microscopes, data collection and analysis in Excel, and supporting quality discussions with cross-functional teams. It suits someone with a background in mechanical parts, manufacturing, or hardware testing who can work independently on detailed, repetitive tasks. The position is fully on-site five days a week and does not include relocation assistance.

Why we read it this way (6)
This is a hardware/physical QA role — the primary work is executing test plans against mechanical and electronic consumer hardware products (cutting machines, presses), not software testing. 15-1253 is the closest SOC code available but is a poor fit; the role is more accurately a Hardware QA / Manufacturing Quality Engineer. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is listed as an alternative but is also imprecise.
Location is not explicitly stated in the posting, but Cricut's headquarters is in South Jordan, UT (Salt Lake City metro). The posting is explicitly five days per week in-office ('the lab') with no relocation assistance, confirming a fixed physical location.
The required skills around mechanical parts, injection molding, tooling, and manufacturing engineering are framed as experience with 'one or more of the following' — a broad, inclusive gate rather than a single hard requirement on any specific tool or technology, so no individual item from that list is marked as a standalone must-have.
Creo and SolidWorks appear together under Preferred skills ('Creo and/or SolidWorks experience') — treated as interchangeable preferred options and combined into one skill entry.
Arduino, C++, and Python appear together under 'Microcontroller programming' in the Preferred section; they are listed as a group but represent distinct technologies and are emitted separately.
No compensation range is disclosed in the posting.
