Hardware Test Engineer

Working within a cutting‑edge R&D environment, the Test Engineer will play a central role in validating advanced hardware systems across challenging operating conditions.

This role focuses on designing and executing test programmes across a diverse hardware stack, supporting the development of robust, high‑performance systems. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure products meet rigorous reliability, safety and environmental standards.

• Designing and operating bespoke test setups for a range of hardware systems.
• Executing structural, thermal, vibration and fatigue testing aligned to internal and industry standards.
• Operating and maintaining laboratory equipment such as environmental chambers, vibration tables and data acquisition systems.
• Analysing test data and translating results into clear design improvements and recommendations.
• Supporting the development and setup of internal testing facilities and infrastructure.
• Collaborating with engineering teams to support rapid development and iteration cycles.

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• At least 3 years of hands‑on experience in prototyping, testing or laboratory environments.
• Experience designing and executing hardware test systems and validation programmes.
• Familiarity with relevant testing standards (e.g. MIL STD, IP/IK, CE, UL).
• Strong understanding of environmental and structural testing methodologies.
• The ability to work independently and contribute effectively within a multidisciplinary team.

This role is suited to a Test Engineer who enjoys working at the point where design meets real‑world performance.
