The opportunity:

This pivotal role ensures that electronic and electro-mechanical sub-systems in the development phase are rigorously tested and verified against required environmental conditions. You will be responsible for translating verification plans and requirements into structured trial instructions, overseeing test execution and delivering high-quality trial reports to support critical certification activities—all while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality.


As part of our Proving Engineering team, you'll work closely with sub-system and test equipment design teams as well as EMC, mechanical, and climatic testing experts. You will bring qualification campaigns from paper to reality, ensuring rigorous and reliable testing at our Stevenage and Bristol facilities.


Additionally, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with safety, quality, and security specialists to uphold strict compliance and industry best practices, providing essential evidence to qualify both early-stage and mature designs before production.


If you thrive in a hands-on, high-precision testing environment and enjoy working with cutting-edge technology in a structured, safety-conscious setting, this is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact.


What we are looking for from you:

  • A strong understanding of electronic and mechanical engineering fundamentals
  • Knowledge of EMC and/or RF testing
  • Familiarity with actuator and radio technologies
  • Experience in producing structured trial instructions and high-quality test reports
  • Ability to interpret specifications, design documents, and safety sheets
  • Proven experience of conducting field and/or lab trials
  • Experience of testing hardware in mechanical, climatic, and EMC environments
  • Experience of setting up test equipment and Units Under Test (UUTs)
  • An awareness of quality control processes
  • Handling ESD-sensitive devices
  • Safe manual handling practices

If you are someone with meticulous attention to detail to ensure accuracy and test integrity, a strong sense of accountability with the ability to take ownership of trials and reporting responsibilities then this role could be for you
