About the role
Hands‑on Electronics Test Engineer role supporting the development, testing, and validation of low‑voltage (12‑24V) electronic products. The position sits between design and QA, focusing on PCB fault‑finding, prototype testing, and product verification. A practical, workshop‑based role with direct impact on product reliability and improvement.
Why join the team
- Hands‑on, workshop‑based role focused on real‑world testing and fault‑finding
- Direct impact on product quality, reliability, and design improvements
- Broad exposure to low‑voltage power electronics (12‑24V systems, charging, control circuits)
- Opportunity to influence product development from prototype through to production
- Chance to help build and shape internal electronics capability within a growing engineering team
What you will be doing
- Build, modify, and test electronic prototypes and pre‑production units
- Develop and execute functional and performance tests on PCB assemblies
- Analyse low‑voltage circuits including power regulation, charging systems, and control electronics
- Interpret schematics, PCB layouts, and BOMs
- Identify design weaknesses and work with product teams to support iterative improvements
Testing, Diagnostics & Quality Assurance
- Conduct verification and validation testing against product requirements
- Perform PCB and component‑level fault diagnosis, including production and field failures
- Investigate failures from production, endurance, and field returns
- Support root cause analysis, corrective actions (CAPA), and pre‑compliance test
What you need
- Strong hands‑on electronics experience with low‑voltage (12‑24V) systems
- Proven PCB fault‑finding and component‑level diagnostic skills
- Ability to interpret schematics, PCB layouts, and technical BOMs
- Experience using test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads)
- HNC/HND (or equivalent) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering with mid‑level engineering experience
