Test Preparation & Execution : Prepare cryogenic and electrical test setups as requested by the CRYOPROP work packages. Run tests autonomously and challenge test requests from the design office.

· 
Safety & Compliance : Guarantee necessary training for people accessing the test benches and support risk analysis for all test benches within the perimeter.

· 
Reporting & Expertise : Provide comprehensive test reports, define test bench capabilities and limitations, including metrology aspects, and represent UpNext's interests to the cryogenic test facility owner.

Test Bench Scope (all located in TOULOUSE) Includes: 

· 
cryogenic thermal fluctuation test benches, 

· 
cryogenic helium loop (including a high-power electrical inverter), 

· 
cryogenic characterization vacuum test bench

·
