Job Description
Electronics Test Engineer – Exeter - Salary: £40,000 – £50,000 – Permanent
About the role:
Hands-on Electronics Test Engineer role supporting the development, testing, and validation of low-voltage (12–24V) electronic products. The position sits between design and QA, focusing on PCB fault-finding, prototype testing, and product verification. A practical, workshop-based role with direct impact on product reliability and improvement.
Why join the team:
* Hands-on, workshop-based role focused on real-world testing and fault-finding
* Direct impact on product quality, reliability, and design improvements
* Broad exposure to low-voltage power electronics (12–24V systems, charging, control circuits)
* Opportunity to influence product development from prototype through to production
* Chance to help build and shape internal electronics capability within a growing engineering team
What you’ll be doing:
* Product Development & Test Support
* Build, modify, and test electronic prototypes and pre-production units
* Develop and execute functional and performance tests on PCB assemblies
* Analyse low-voltage circuits including power regulation, charging systems, and control electronics
* Interpret schematics, PCB layouts, and BOMs
* Identify design weaknesses and work with product teams to support iterative improvements
* Testing, Diagnostics & Quality Assurance
* Conduct verification and validation testing against product requirements
* Perform PCB and component-level fault diagnosis, including production and field failures
* Investigate failures from production, endurance, and field returns
* Support root cause analysis, corrective actions (CAPA), and pre-compliance test
What you need:
Strong hands-on electronics experience with low-voltage (12–24V) systems
Proven PCB fault-finding and component-level diagnostic skills
Ability to interpret schematics, PCB layouts, and technical BOMs
Experience using test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads)
HNC/HND (or equivalent) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering with mid-level engineering experience
