Job Title: ATE Test Engineer (Hardware + LabVIEW) - Contract - Outside IR35
Salary: Up to £55 per hour
Contract length: 3 months initially
Location: Gatwick – Hybrid
We're recruiting on behalf of a client for a Contract ATE Test Engineer to build, integrate and bring a production final test station. This is a genuinely hands-on role. You'll be assembling and wiring the rack, integrating the fixture, and developing/debugging the LabVIEW test application that runs on it, so it suits someone equally happy with a screwdriver and a soldering iron as with LabVIEW code.
Responsibilities:
- Assembling and commissioning a production ATE rack - power supplies, industrial PC, touchscreen HMI, measurement and switching hardware, safety hardware
- Integrating barcode scanner, fixture interfaces, DUT connection harnesses and test accessories
- Cable routing, labelling, continuity and insulation checks, basic electrical verification
- Fitting and aligning the test fixture - pin mapping, mechanical interface checks, design-for-maintenance improvements
- Developing and debugging the LabVIEW production test application — serial number scanning, product ID, config detection, sequence control, pass/fail logic, diagnostics and operator prompts
- Implementing test data logging, results storage and production reporting; supporting executable build and release
- Covering digital I/O, relay outputs, analogue inputs, and comms testing (Ethernet, RS232, RS485, CAN)
- Debugging integration issues, reducing false failures, and supporting pilot builds through to manufacturing handover
