Experimental Test Engineer (Electronics / Instrumentation)

This is a hands‑on engineering role supporting advanced aerodynamic testing and experimental research

You’ll work in a specialist environment where bespoke instrumentation, precise data capture and reliability matter. The work is practical, varied and rarely repeated - supporting complex test programmes rather than production lines.

What you’ll be doing
  • Building and maintaining bespoke instrumentation and cabling
  • Installing sensors and instrumentation into experimental test hardware
  • Connecting systems into multi-channel data acquisition setups
  • Fault‑finding and repairing assemblies and sensors down to component level
  • Supporting live test activity and minimising downtime
  • Working across lab and industrial environments, including confined spaces and work at height
Why this role appeals
  • Unique experimental work
    , not repetitive manufacturing
  • Strong exposure to specialist test and measurement systems
  • Close collaboration with experienced engineers and researchers
  • Long‑term role in a technically respected engineering organisation
  • Full training provided for specialist equipment and processes
What will make you a fit
  • Time-served electronics technician or equivalent hands‑on experience
  • Solid understanding of basic electronics and diagnostics
  • Experience with sensors, instrumentation or test systems (strain, temperature, pressure, etc.)
  • Comfortable reading schematics and wiring lists
  • Flexible approach to shift work
  • Eligible for UK Security Clearance
Package
  • 26 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Private healthcare and life assurance
Interested?

If you enjoy practical electronics, experimental testing and working on technically unique projects, this is a role worth exploring.
