Role Overview
Our client, a global leader in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) solutions, is seeking an experienced Electronics Test Engineer to work on a contract position. The role involves testing manufactured products using predefined test procedures at the client’s state-of-the-art facility in High Wycombe (postcode HP10 9SD).
It is a shopfloor, production test role supporting operations in a high-reliability, regulated environment. You will set up and run production tests on a variety of electronic and electromechanical products, follow documented procedures, and complete test documentation. Work is project‑based with new systems and products coming through regularly.
What you’ll be doing
* Setting up test equipment and carrying out production testing in line with defined test procedures
* Testing a range of electronic boards, interfaces, cables and multi‑servo systems
* Using ATE / test interfaces as part of the production test environment
* Fault‑finding test failures and feeding back to Production and Manufacturing Engineering to support process improvements
* Raising MRBs / defect reports where required
* Supporting other members of the Test team and working to production deadlines
* Maintaining and repairing test equipment where necessary
Core Duties
* Perform tests on manufactured products using predefined test procedures
* Collect and document test results accurately for analysis
* Identify failures and anomalies during testing and report findings to the Test Systems Engineer
* Conduct environmental, functional, and stress testing as required
* Set up and configure test equipment according to test specifications
* Perform routine calibration and maintenance on test systems
* Troubleshoot and resolve minor issues with test setups before escalating to the Test Systems Engineer
* Run automated test scripts developed by the Test Systems Engineer
* Provide feedback on the effectiveness and reliability of automated test sequences
* Assist in debugging and refining automated test processes
* Identify potential issues in test processes and suggest improvements
* Work closely with manufacturing and quality teams to diagnose failures
* Escalate complex issues to the Test Systems Engineer for deeper analysis
* Follow established testing protocols and regulatory guidelines
* Ensure all testing activities are documented in compliance with industry and company standards
* Maintain accurate logs of test results, equipment usage, and issues encountered
* Work closely with production teams to ensure seamless testing within the manufacturing flow
* Assist in training production personnel on test procedures and equipment usage
* Provide real‑time feedback to the Test Systems Engineer on test system performance
* Suggest improvements to test procedures based on hands‑on experience
* Participate in test development discussions with the Test Systems Engineer
* Stay updated on new test methodologies and best practices in the industry
Experience they're looking for
* Prior electronic test experience (ESSENTIAL)
* Inspection standard accreditation such as IPC 610/620, J‑Std, etc. (highly beneficial)
* Hands‑on electronics or electromechanical test experience
* Experience working in a controlled / regulated environment such as aerospace, defence, medical or similar high‑reliability industries
* Comfortable following formal test procedures and completing documentation
* Fault‑finding skills across electronic assemblies and systems
* RF exposure is beneficial but not essential
* Candidates with electronics testing experience in regulated environments will stand out strongly
