Position: Software Test & Automation Engineer
Software Test & Automation Engineer

We are recruiting for a Software Test & Automation Engineer to join a specialist engineering company operating in a regulated industrial environment.

The business develops software used within high-precision equipment supplied to the pharmaceutical sector. Testing is currently largely manual and system-based, carried out directly on physical machines. The company now wants to introduce greater automation and modernise its test approach.

This is an opportunity to help shape that evolution.

You will inherit an established test and validation function, work alongside experienced engineers, and gradually introduce more structured automated testing practices where appropriate.

What You’ll Be Doing

* Carrying out hands-on system-level software testing

* Working directly with industrial equipment during validation cycles

* Designing and implementing automated test scripts or frameworks

* Supporting structured validation documentation and compliance requirements

* Contributing to the development of a longer-term automation strategy

* Collaborating closely with embedded and systems engineers

What We’re Looking For

* Experience in software testing at application or system level

* Exposure to automated testing concepts and tools

* Ability to write scripts in languages such as Python, C#, or similar

* Experience using test management and defect tracking tools (Jira, Test Rail, Zephyr, Xray etc.)

* Understanding of version control and release processes

* Experience in regulated or quality-focused environments advantageous

The Opportunity

This is not a corporate Dev Ops pipeline role. It is an engineering-led SME environment where you will have real influence.

There is scope to:

* Build automation capability from the ground up

* Modernise a legacy manual process

* Develop into a future technical lead within the test function

Hybrid working is supported, but candidates must be able to attend site when equipment-based testing is required.
