Job description

We are helping our client find a Test Electrical Engineering Technician to support the testing, validation, and troubleshooting of electronic and firmware-integrated hardware systems in a hands-on development lab.

In this role, you'll execute electrical and firmware test procedures, perform functional and regression testing, and troubleshoot hardware issues throughout the development lifecycle. You'll support an iterative process of design, component sourcing, assembly, testing, and refinement, with your testing activities, demonstrations, and documented results contributing to training AI systems to better understand hands-on physical work.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on electrical and firmware testing experience, strong attention to detail, and the ability to follow technical procedures accurately while documenting test results and failures clearly.

Recording & Data Collection Notice

This role involves recording your work to support AI training and development. Lab cameras and screen recording on your work device will capture your activities. Depending on the project, you may also be asked to wear sensors, such as motion trackers or pressure-sensing gloves, that collect biometric data. Before starting, you'll receive details about the recording and data collection requirements specific to your role, how your data will be protected, and the consent process.

As a Test Electrical Engineering Technician, you'll:

• Execute established electrical and firmware test procedures, including power, continuity, signal, and thermal testing.
• Flash firmware and perform functional and regression testing to verify hardware and system performance.
• Reproduce and troubleshoot electrical and firmware faults using multimeters, oscilloscopes, electronic loads, data loggers, and firmware flashing tools.
• Document test results, failures, and troubleshooting findings with clear written reports, photographs, and measurements.
• Review written and on-screen work instructions, identify inaccuracies, and provide feedback to improve testing procedures and documentation.

• 2+ years in electrical, firmware or electronics test labs.
• Flashing, functional and regression testing; multimeter, oscilloscope, electronic load and data logger.
• Tools: multimeter, oscilloscope, electronic load, data logger, flashing tools.
