Senior Production Test Engineer

Join our Operations team as a Senior Production Test Engineer. In this hands-on role, you will create the production-test capability for the Hybrid Intelligent Transformer (HIT) as it moves from engineering builds to safe, repeatable manufacturing. You will own the production-test strategy, design and commission test systems, engineer safe test operations, automate test execution and data capture, support fault diagnosis and corrective action, control test configuration and effectivity, optimize test performance and capacity, transfer the test capability, and contribute to PFMEA.

Créer la capacité de test de production nécessaire à la transition des prototypes vers la fabrication.

Responsibilities

• Relevant production-test experience and a technical foundation in electrical, electronic, power electronics, control, mechatronic, test or systems engineering are required.
• Développer et mettre en œuvre la stratégie de test de production, les méthodes, l'équipement, le logiciel et les contrôles d'exploitation.
• Travailler directement sur les premières unités, exécuter des tests, capturer des comportements anormaux et diagnostiquer des pannes.
• Relevant production-test experience. Practical experience developing, commissioning or supporting production tests for complex electromechanical, electrical, power-electronic or similarly demanding hardware
• Software & Tools: Proficiency with automated test software (like LabVIEW), measurement instrumentation (multimeters, oscilloscopes), and manufacturing systems (ERP/MES like SAP)
• Controlled documentation and change. The ability to create clear test specifications, procedures, validation reports, maintenance instructions and training materials, and to manage test configuration, software versions, calibration and effectivity

Requirements

• Relevant technical foundation. A degree, apprenticeship or equivalent practical experience in electrical, electronic, power electronics, control, mechatronic, test or systems engineering, together with clear communication skills and the flexibility to support UK suppliers and manufacturing partners when required
• A genuine preference for hands-on test work. You enjoy working directly with products, instruments, fixtures, test software and technicians. You are comfortable setting up equipment, taking measurements, modifying test rigs and troubleshooting faults in the test area
• Test software and data. Experience developing automated test sequences, scripts or applications, with robust result capture, serial-number traceability, version control and clear diagnostic output
• Electrical fault-finding capability. The ability to interpret electrical schematics, specifications, interface definitions, waveforms and logs, then use structured measurements to isolate faults safely and efficiently
• Test-system engineering. Experience selecting and integrating instruments, sensors, switching, data acquisition, fixtures, harnesses, interlocks and operator interfaces into reliable production-test equipment
• Safety discipline. Practical knowledge of electrical safety, risk assessment, isolation, grounding, lockout and tagout, interlocks and safe systems of work for energised or high-energy test environments
• New-product and low-volume test. Experience creating a production-test process while product design, firmware, test coverage and manufacturing methods are still maturing
• High-power product experience. Production-test experience involving power electronics, high-voltage equipment, transformers, grid equipment, energy infrastructure or another high-energy product environment
• Automation and software tools. Experience with platforms such as LabVIEW, Python, C#, PLCs, automated test frameworks, databases, APIs, hardware-in-the-loop systems or comparable test technologies
• CEM test transfer. Experience duplicating, validating and supporting test equipment and methods at a contract manufacturer, including training, calibration, spares, maintenance and remote fault support
• Factory acceptance testing. Experience developing or executing factory acceptance tests, customer-witnessed tests, formal release evidence or site acceptance support for complex equipment
