Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Electronic Test Engineer to join our growing engineering team, where you'll play a crucial role in the development and validation of next-generation electronic systems. This is a hands-on, lab-based position focused on testing and verifying complex PCB assemblies, semiconductor devices, and embedded hardware components—from prototype through to production. Although some client site visits will be required from time to time.

If you're passionate about electronics, enjoy problem-solving, and have a keen eye for detail, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and execute detailed test plans and procedures for PCBs, semiconductors, and other electronic components
  • Perform diagnostics at both component and board level using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab instrumentation
  • Write test scripts and control equipment using VISA API and C++
  • Analyze test data, identify trends, and produce clear, actionable reports
  • Work closely with hardware, software, and design teams to troubleshoot and resolve issues, enhancing test coverage and product reliability
  • Support embedded system debugging and prototype build activities
  • Maintain ESD-safe lab environments and troubleshoot test setups
  • Carry out fine-pitch soldering and rework on SMT and through-hole boards as required
What You Bring
  • Degree in Electronic Engineering or a related field
  • Strong experience in PCB design, testing, and layout interpretation
  • Solid understanding of semiconductor testing, device behavior, and failure analysis
  • Proficiency with instrument control and automation (VISA API and C++)
  • Comfortable handling and interpreting large datasets to support engineering decisions
  • Skilled in hands-on lab techniques, including precision soldering and rework
  • Familiarity with common electronic test equipment: multimeters, oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, etc.
  • Exposure to EMC testing and compliance standards
  • Knowledge of FPGA or microcontroller-based systems is a plus
What We Offer
  • Work on innovative, high-impact projects in a dynamic and supportive environment
  • Expand your technical skills across both design and test disciplines
  • Enjoy a competitive salary and benefits, including flexible working and ongoing training
  • Be part of a collaborative team where your expertise drives real product success
