Job description

Role Summary
As an Electronics Engineer, you will play a key role in bringing new PCB designs into life, verifying product performance, and ensuring exceptional product reliability through rigorous test development and structured problem‑solving.
You will work across the full engineering lifecycle — from concept and verification through to supporting production and field‑returned products. This role suits someone with strong fundamentals in analogue, digital, embedded, and power electronics, combined with a methodical, hands‑on approach to engineering challenges.
You will have the opportunity to influence design quality, develop bespoke test solutions, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver world‑class products.
Key Responsibilities
Design Verification & Test Development

• Develop, execute and continuously improve verification and validation strategies to ensure products meet functional, performance, reliability and customer requirements.
• Create and maintain comprehensive test plans, procedures and acceptance criteria, ensuring traceability to design specifications and customer expectations.
• Define test requirements that maximise PCB assembly test coverage, improve fault detection capability and support a right-first-time approach to product development and manufacture.
• Design, build, commission and document test equipment, fixtures and automated test solutions for engineering verification, qualification and production environments.
• Apply scripting, automation and data analysis techniques to improve test efficiency, increase repeatability and support data-driven engineering decisions.
• Produce clear, accurate and timely technical reports, presenting results, conclusions, recommendations and PASS/FAIL status in a professional manner.
• Deliver hardware and software-based test solutions within agreed schedules, budgets and project milestones, maintaining a strong focus on quality and customer requirements.
• Support the evaluation, introduction and qualification of third‑party test equipment, tools and technologies that improve capability, efficiency or quality.
• Collaborate closely with Design, Test, Manufacturing and Quality teams to ensure products are designed for testability, manufacturability and long‑term reliability.
• Identify technical risks early and proactively propose mitigation plans to support successful project delivery.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance engineering processes, test methodologies, product quality and operational efficiency.
• Maintain a commitment to professional development, staying current with emerging technologies, industry best practice and new engineering techniques.

• Maintain a commitment to professional development, staying current with emerging technologies, industry best practice and new engineering techniques.

• Perform detailed fault‑finding and diagnostic investigations to component level on complex electronic assemblies, including FPGA, embedded processor, analogue, digital and power electronic systems.
• Lead structured root cause investigations using recognised problem‑solving methodologies, ensuring robust corrective and preventive actions are identified and implemented.
• Analyse recurring, intermittent and complex failures using a methodical, evidence‑based approach, drawing clear conclusions supported by technical data.
• Support production, quality and manufacturing teams in resolving technical issues, minimising disruption and maintaining delivery commitments.
• Work collaboratively across engineering disciplines to identify improvement opportunities and prevent the recurrence of product and process‑related issues.
• Create technical specifications for Automated Test Equipment (ATE), bed‑of‑nails fixtures and bespoke test platforms to support current and future manufacturing requirements.
• Generate and maintain clear documentation covering test procedures, fault‑finding activities, rework instructions, engineering changes and production processes.
• Contribute to product quality improvement by identifying trends, analysing failure data and recommending corrective actions based on objective evidence.
• Support new product introduction activities, ensuring robust test coverage, effective validation and successful transfer into manufacturing.
• Demonstrate ownership and accountability when resolving technical challenges, ensuring actions are driven through to completion and lessons learned are captured and shared.

Your profile

Skills & Experience

• HNC, HND, Degree or higher qualification in Electronic Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum of 3 years' experience in an electronics design, product development, test or manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of analogue, digital, power and embedded electronic systems, with the ability to interpret complex schematics and functional designs.
• Proven ability to diagnose and resolve electronic faults to component level using a structured and methodical approach.
• Experience conducting root cause investigations and generating professional technical reports using recognised methodologies such as 8D, 5 Whys or equivalent problem‑solving tools.
• Proficiency in the use of laboratory and diagnostic equipment including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, spectrum analysers, logic analysers, function generators and related instrumentation.
• Practical hands‑on skills including soldering, PCB modifications, prototype assembly, rework and repair activities.
• Good understanding of PCB and PCBA manufacturing processes, including Design for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) principles.
• Experience using software tools, scripting languages, automation techniques or data analysis methods to improve engineering effectiveness and support informed decision making.
• Strong attention to detail with a quality‑focused mindset and a commitment to producing accurate, reliable and robust engineering outputs.
• Demonstrated ability to plan, prioritise and manage multiple activities whilst consistently delivering work to agreed deadlines and quality standards.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with design teams, manufacturing personnel, suppliers, customers and external partners.
• Self‑motivated, proactive and target‑oriented, with a willingness to take ownership of technical challenges and drive tasks through to successful completion.
• Enthusiastic learner with a desire to continuously develop technical knowledge, embrace new technologies and contribute to the growth of the wider engineering team.
• Team player with a positive attitude, strong problem‑solving skills and a commitment to continuous improvement, operational excellence and customer satisfaction.
