Job Requirements
At Quest Global, it's not just what we do but how and why we do it that makes us different. With over 25 years as an engineering services provider, we believe in the power of doing things differently to make the impossible possible. Our people are driven by the desire to make the world a better place—to make a positive difference that contributes to a brighter future. We bring together technologies and industries, alongside the contributions of diverse individuals who are empowered by an intentional workplace culture, to solve problems better and faster.
Role Overview:
We have a requirement for an experienced Test Systems or Test Equipment (TE) development engineer to work at our customer's site in Luton. The work will involve formalising the TE design for a Design Verification Test (DVT) system, based on an existing prototype test set-up, expanding and improving functionality of the system to meet test requirements and ensuring that each stage of the TE development process from Requirements through to Qualification is completed.
Candidates should currently be employed as a Test Systems engineer / Test Equipment development engineer with experience of test system design for complex, high-reliability systems, including Commercial OFF The Shelf (COTS) / custom hardware and test software. Ideally, we are looking someone with previous experience in Radar TE development but candidates with experience of other aerospace/ defence applications, space, nuclear, automotive or transportation sectors will be considered.
Job Responsibilities:
Will vary depending on level of experience but responsibilities may include:
* Establish test requirements for verification/qualification of main equipment LRI.
* Generate test plans & test documentation to undertake Design Verification testing.
* Planning / preparation for TE development, including test hardware (custom/ COTS), tools & test software.
* Produce TE requirement specifications (i.e. test hardware and test software requirements).
* Produce detailed TE design documentation, including drawings, BOMs, etc.
* Liaise with TE software engineer(s) to ensure TE software solution is delivered.
* Propose and see through to conclusion, any TE design changes/improvements required to meet test requirements.
* Undertake/support Safety & Cyber security analysis of DVT system.
* Produce required documentation for each stage of the TE development process.
* Prepare and present design data, status, risks, etc at TE design reviews & ensure completion of actions.
* Release drawings, BOMs, etc for TE hardware and documentation (VDD's, SRN's, etc) for test software on customer's PDM system.
* Undertake / oversee qualification of TE solution and produce Qualification/acceptance test report.
* Produce user documentation for DVT system.
* Support initial Design Verification testing of main equipment LRI, where necessary.
We are known for our extraordinary people who make the impossible possible every day. Questians are driven by hunger, humility, and aspiration. We believe that our company culture is the key to our ability to make a true difference in every industry we reach.
