Job description

Job Summary:
We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Chassis In-Process & Testing Engineer to join our manufacturing team. The successful candidate will ensure chassis assemblies meet design quality and safety requirements through in-process inspections, test planning, troubleshooting and continuous improvement. If you are methodical, technically competent and enjoy working in a collaborative production environment we encourage you to apply.

Key Responsibilities In-process Inspection & Testing

• Plan, develop and execute in-process inspection and testing activities for chassis assemblies during manufacture to verify conformance with design specifications and regulatory requirements.

• Create, maintain and improve test plans, inspection checklists, work instructions and test data recording formats to ensure consistent and auditable quality control.

• Perform hands‑on functional dimensional and electrical tests (where applicable) including static and dynamic checks, load tests, alignment and fitment verification.

• Operate and calibrate test equipment, jigs and fixtures; identify requirements for new test tooling and support procurement or fabrication as needed.

• Monitor production processes, carry out first‑article inspections and sampling plans and intervene promptly to contain non‑conforming product and prevent escape to subsequent operations.

• Investigate failures and non‑conformances using root cause analysis techniques; propose and implement corrective and preventive actions with production and engineering teams.

• Ensure accurate test data capture, document results, compile test reports and maintain traceability of inspected components and assemblies in line with company procedures.

• Work closely with Design Engineering, Quality, Production and Supplier Quality to communicate issues, feedback, design improvements and support continuous improvement initiatives.

• Support validation of design changes, prototype builds and pre‑production runs by defining test criteria, executing pre‑release tests and providing formal sign‑offs.

• Contribute to health, safety and environmental standards on the shop floor; ensure testing activities comply with statutory and company safety requirements.

Required Skills Testing Inspection Communication

• Practical experience in in‑process inspection, functional testing and quality assurance within chassis automotive, heavy engineering or related manufacturing environments.

• Strong understanding of mechanical assemblies, dimensional measurement techniques, tolerancing, fasteners, bearings and basic electrical systems where applicable.

• Proficiency using hand and calibrated measuring tools (vernier, micrometre, dial gauge), basic test instrumentation and data logging equipment.

• Analytical approach to problem solving with experience of root cause analysis tools (5 Whys, Fishbone, FMEA preferred) and implementing corrective actions.

• Good written and verbal communication skills in English; able to prepare clear test reports, non‑conformance records and communicate findings to multidisciplinary teams.

• Competence with Microsoft Office applications and experience working with quality management systems and basic database/ERP or MES test records.

Traits Attention to Detail and Teamwork

• Detail‑oriented and methodical; committed to producing reliable high‑quality results and maintaining accurate records.

• Customer‑focused mindset with the ability to balance production targets and quality requirements.

• Collaborative team‑player who can work effectively with production staff, engineers and suppliers to drive improvements.

• Adaptable and resilient; able to respond to changing priorities in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Automotive Engineering or a related discipline or equivalent practical experience.

• Typically 2 years experience in chassis or mechanical assembly inspection, testing or quality roles within manufacturing or engineering sectors.

• Awareness of relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements for chassis/vehicle components is desirable.

• Experience with test plan development, first‑article inspection and production support during ramp‑up phases is advantageous.

What We Offer Development and Support

• Structured onboarding and ongoing technical training to support your development in testing and quality engineering.

• Opportunity to work on complex chassis products within a collaborative safety‑focused and inclusive workplace.

• Competitive remuneration package with opportunities for career progression and skills development.
