Your mission? To steer the development towards a reliable and robust system offering through the creation of bespoke test environments and day-to-day hands-on testing and experimental work on the product. You’ll help steer how we validate our complex system requirements and verify that every detail of our technologies robustly deliver functionality over life.

To help accelerate our delivery, you’ll support design team members to make the most of our current understanding of systems before we get to full product testing. Driving how we do component or assembly level test, and support decision making with the use of simulation and analytical analysis, and robustly and quickly identify root causes of any failures that we may experience along the way.

Joining our fast-growing startup, you’ll be opening doors to more than your day-to-day. Collaborating across the teams, you'll play a vital role in driving the ongoing development of our technology.

• Strong understanding of reliability testing methodologies, with the ability to design and execute test plans to ensure product quality and performance.

• Robust technical analysis and documentation skills including generating Test Specifications, Test Protocols, Test Reports, and root cause analysis techniques.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams and fast-paced environments.

• Familiarity with software tools for developing test scripts, processing log files, and database contents.

• Experience in an Agile environment and FEA would be advantageous but are not essential.
