Test & Applications Engineer

Location: Essex, UK

Our client is a global specialist in components and subsystems for renewables, medical, scientific, aerospace and industrial markets, with technology in use across hospitals, aircraft, ships and space missions. Their Power division is now looking for a Test and Applications Engineer to join the Project Development team responsible for the next generation of high-power products.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being on the bench: running test plans, chasing down faults, and helping customers get the best out of the product once it's in their hands.

What you'll be doing

  • Developing and running test plans for high-power products, from prototype through to production
  • Carrying out performance evaluation, troubleshooting and failure analysis
  • Supporting customers directly on performance queries and integration challenges
  • Working alongside design, manufacturing and quality teams to refine product performance
  • Helping build out test procedures and automated test systems
  • Writing test reports, application notes and technical documentation
  • Contributing to a safety-first culture, including risk management on test activities

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
