Senior Systems Test Engineer | RF & Electronic Test Solutions
📍 Edinburgh, 4/1 Hybrid | UK
💰 Up to £85,000 + Bonus + Additional Financial Rewards + Comprehensive Benefits
Are you the type of engineer who is equally comfortable debugging software as you are probing hardware?
I'm supporting a highly respected technology business operating within a defence-adjacent sector that is looking for a unique engineer capable of bridging the gap between hardware, software and complex test environments.
This isn't a traditional software role, and it isn't a traditional electronics role.
Instead, you'll be designing and developing sophisticated automated test solutions for advanced RF and electronic systems used in demanding real-world environments. You'll work closely with product teams to create robust test suites, improve product quality and solve challenging technical problems across the entire system stack.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What makes this role different?
- ✅ Work on technically complex RF-based products used in mission-critical applications.
- ✅ Genuine ownership and autonomy over projects from concept through delivery.

- ✅ Stable, long-term business with a strong order book and significant investment in engineering.
- ✅ Clear career progression without the need to move into management.

- Test automation and test systems development
- Embedded software, software engineering or systems engineering
- Electronics and hardware troubleshooting
- RF, communications, instrumentation or complex electronic products
- Python, C/C++, LabVIEW or similar technical environments
- Designing and maintaining automated test frameworks
