Test Development Engineer (Hardware / ATE / Electronics)
The Opportunity
We’re working with an innovative engineering company developing advanced electronic products.
They are looking for a hands‑on Test Development Engineer to design and build a bespoke ATE (Automated Test Equipment) system for complex electronic products.
This is a hardware‑focused role, ideal for someone who enjoys building complete test systems (hardware integration etc).
The Role
You’ll take ownership of the design, build, and deployment of a custom test system, working closely with hardware, software, and manufacturing teams.
Key responsibilities
* Design and develop hardware for ATE systems, including fixtures, interface boards, and switching
* Define test architecture and Design for Testability (DfT) requirements
* Build and integrate complete test systems from concept to production
* Work with software engineers to ensure seamless hardware/software integration
* Support NPI, pilot builds, and production ramp
* Troubleshoot issues and drive yield and performance improvements
* Validate and document test systems for manufacturing use
Essential
* Strong background in electronic hardware (analogue, digital, power, high-speed)
* Experience designing or building test systems / ATE hardware
* Hands‑on experience with test equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.)
* Ability to develop test plans and system‑level solutions
* Strong fault‑finding and problem‑solving skills
* Experience working with cross‑functional engineering teams
Desirable
* Experience with DfT, BIST, or production test environments
* Knowledge of manufacturing processes (SMT, functional test, etc.)
* Experience with fixtures, interface boards, or custom test hardware
* Exposure to CAD or working with mechanical teams (fixtures / 3D printed parts)
This is a great opportunity to join a global technology company that is investing heavily in R&D and their ATE systems.
