Test Engineer - Electronics Business – Thetford

KO2's client, a leading electronics company based in Thetford, is seeking a talented and driven Test Engineer to join their growing team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a strong background in testing to play an integral role in ensuring the success of cutting-edge non-destructive testing instruments.

As a Test Engineer, you will be involved in testing the entire instrument, from sensor development through to ensuring the final product meets design specifications and can be manufactured to high standards. You will work across all three stages of the process—Research and Development (R&D), product development, and manufacturing engineering.

Key Responsibilities for the Test Engineer:

• Research & Development Support: Work closely with the R&D team to test sensors and develop them into fully functioning products.
• Test Design & Execution: Design and set up tests for new and complex products, ensuring they meet stringent performance specifications.
• Electronics & Software Testing: Conduct electronics tests, including analogue and digital circuit testing, as well as testing the software interfaces such as Modbus comms and GUI links.
• Fault-Finding & Data Analysis: Identify performance issues, gather data, and analyze it to pinpoint what isn’t working and why.
• Collaboration & Communication: Report findings and test results to senior engineers and help troubleshoot problems as they arise.

The role is varied, with approximately 70% of your time focused on designing tests for new products and systems, as every product is different. The remaining portion of the role will be split between GUI-based application testing (5-10%) and electronics testing (15-20%), including circuit testing and software integration.

Ideal Candidate:

• Strong testing experience in a technical field, ideally from an academic background or early career stage in industry.
• Familiar with testing methodologies, including both software and hardware.
• Able to understand complex systems, fault-find from first principles, and investigate issues like changes in capacitance or heat.
• Comfortable designing and setting up tests independently for complex, never-before-seen products.
• Passionate about working in a fast-growing company with opportunities for personal development and progression.

KO2's client offers excellent career development opportunities—employees have advanced from Test Engineer roles into management and research positions. As the company continues to grow, you’ll be part of a dynamic and supportive team.

Package:

• £37,000 - £42,000 salary depending on experience.
• Full-time, onsite role in Ely.
• Excellent career growth prospects in a rapidly expanding company.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Test Engineer to contribute to the development of high-performance, non-destructive testing instruments in an innovative and growing business. If you have the skills and the passion to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you!
