Socode are supporting a company that designs and builds specialist electronic sensing and surveillance systems, used in defence, security, and critical infrastructure environments. Their work sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and real-world deployment, with systems designed to operate reliably in demanding conditions.
They’re looking to hire a Graduate Test Engineer to support the test, configuration, and ongoing support of these systems. This is a practical, hands-on graduate role. You’ll be working directly with electronic hardware, learning how complex systems are tested, debugged, and validated, while supporting production builds and engineering activities.
What you’ll be doing:
* Testing and configuring electronic and radar-based systems
* Setting systems up, running tests, and verifying performance against specifications
* Investigating faults and supporting repair activities for production and returned units
* Supporting production builds and RMA processes
* Assisting engineers with prototype builds, testing, and investigations
* Helping to build or adapt simple test setups, fixtures, or jigs
* Recording test results and keeping documentation up to date
* Feeding back issues, failures, and improvement ideas to the wider team
* Supporting field trials and system demonstrations when required
* Keeping lab equipment, tools, and your work area organised and ESD-compliant
What they’re looking for
* A degree (or equivalent) in electronic engineering, electrical engineering, or a related discipline
* An interest in hands-on test, validation, and fault-finding work
* Some exposure to building, testing, or debugging electronic systems (academic, placement, or project-based)
* A methodical, practical approach with good attention to detail
* Confidence using standard lab equipment and following good ESD practice
* Someone reliable who finishes work properly and raises issues early
* A team player who works well alongside engineers and production staff
