Job description

Full Time, office based career opportunity in Hampshire : Electronics Test & Development Engineer

The opportunity

• Develop practical semiconductor test methods and fixtures for ESD, latch-up, transmission-line-pulse and related device-characterisation work.
• Understand customer devices, pin lists, package information and test objectives, then translate them into a reliable test approach.
• Design or support power supplies, interface circuits, test fixtures and PCBs.
• Build automated test routines, capture measurements and produce clear plots, I-V curves, observations and reports.
• Use laboratory equipment methodically, investigate unexpected behaviour and distinguish a genuine device result from a setup or measurement problem.
• Discuss work with customers and experienced colleagues, learning how to explain evidence and recommendations clearly.
• Work closely with technical specialists who will provide technical coaching and structured development.

The person required

• A 2:1 or First-class honours degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering or a closely related subject.
• –GCSE Mathematics Grade A / Grade 7 or above and A-level Mathematics Grade B or above -
• A well-rounded understanding of analogue and digital electronic principles.
• Strong mental numeracy and the ability to reason from first principles.
• A careful, diligent approach: you check assumptions, record what you did and follow a problem through.
• Natural curiosity and the confidence to ask good questions without pretending to know what you do not know.
• A genuine long-term interest in electronics and a career history—or project history—that demonstrates direction rather than unexplained job-hopping.
• A full UK driving licence and a practical plan to work daily at the Hampshire based site. Candidates living within approximately 30 miles are preferred.

Evidence that will make you stand out

• A personal electronics build or repair that you can explain in depth—perhaps a radio, amplifier, power supply, PCB, embedded controller, instrument or test rig.
• –Circuit or PCB design, electronic product development, soldering/rework or fault-finding.
• Hands-on measurement, validation, characterisation, EMC/RF, power-electronics or semiconductor experience.
• Software used to control equipment, analyse results or bring up hardware—for example Python, C/C++ or LabVIEW-style tooling.
• A portfolio, GitHub repository, photographs, schematics, measurements or concise project write-up.

Eligibility and application

My client cannot provide visa sponsorship. Applicants must already have permanent, unrestricted permission to work in the UK and will be subject to the same right-to-work verification process. If your application is strong, we will ask you to talk through one electronics project and one measurement or fault-finding problem in detail.
