Job description

Industrial Test Development Engineer | Permanent | £50,000 – £65,000 | Greenwich, London

Do you enjoy building the test systems that other engineers rely on? This is a chance to design and develop hardware and software test benches for high-reliability, technically advanced products, within a growing organisation.

The role

You’ll join a growing organisation as an Industrial Test Development Engineer. This is a test development role rather than a traditional test engineering position. You will design, build and prove the hardware and software test benches used in production, including systems for high-voltage products.

You’ll work closely with Production and Engineering teams, giving hands‑on support on the shop floor and making sure test systems are robust, safe and well documented.

What you’ll do

• Design and develop high-voltage test benches, covering both hardware and software
• Install, commission and validate new test systems
• Support Production with hands‑on debugging and issue resolution
• Investigate test failures and analyse results to find root causes
• Create and maintain test documentation, and ensure HV safety compliance
• Train manufacturing teams on test systems and support continuous improvement

What you’ll bring

• A degree in Electronics or Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• At least 2 years’ experience developing hardware and software test rigs
• Strong LabVIEW skills, which are the priority for this role
• Experience with TestStand
• Programming experience in Python and JavaScript; C++ would be useful
• A background in production test development
• A hands‑on approach and strong fault‑finding skills
• Exposure to high-voltage systems
• The right to work in the UK, as sponsorship is not available for this role

What’s on offer

• A permanent role
• A salary of £50,000 – £65,000
• Monday to Friday, site-based in Greenwich, working closely with Production and Engineering
• Excellent long-term career progression on technically advanced, high-reliability products
