In this role, the successful candidate will apply their skills to test and verify state‑of‑the‑art electro‑optical defence and security systems.
The position spans the full product lifecycle, from engineering test and verification of prototypes, through qualification activities, and into production‑level testing. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Test Engineer to deepen their technical capability, broaden their systems understanding, and develop their career within a highly regulated environment.
We are looking for an energetic and driven individual with a strong electronics background. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in defence, aerospace, or other heavily regulated industries.
This role offers the chance to work with a blue‑chip client on technology that contributes directly to the security of the UK and its allies. Valued attributes include being a team player who uses their initiative, demonstrates a passion for engineering, and applies a thorough, methodical approach with strong attention to detail.
Responsibilities
The Test Engineer will perform, but not be limited to the following type of activities centred on the development and delivery of electronics associated with electro optical systems:
Execute engineering test, verification and validation activities across prototype, pre‑production and production hardware Develop test procedures, test plans and verification documentation aligned to requirements Perform board‑level, subsystem‑level and system‑level testing on electro‑optical and electronic assemblies Conduct functional, environmental and qualification testing as required Support board bring‑up, debug and fault‑finding activities using standard lab equipment Record, analyse and present test results, producing clear and traceable test reports Work closely with electronics, systems, mechanical and software teams to ensure test coverage and design‑for‑test considerations Participate in design reviews, providing feedback from a test and verification perspective Support continuous improvement of test processes, tooling and documentation
