Test Engineer / Lab & Systems Support Engineer

Test Engineer / Lab & Systems Support Engineer

Test & Infrastructure Team

Location / Working Pattern - Abingdon. Ideally 3 days on-site, with on-site days Monday, Tuesday & Thursday. Preference for local candidates due to lab needs.

This role exists due to a retirement at the end of May, and the team would ideally like someone to start before then to allow for a proper handover. You’ll support a critical test and lab environment, maintaining both hardware and firmware testing infrastructure. You’ll also take ownership of a test lab where responsibility currently sits with someone who is leaving. While primarily a hands‑on technical support and test role, up to 40% of the role can include development work – which would significantly free up senior team members.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain and develop test lab infrastructure
• Build and configure PCs
• Support firmware and equipment testing
• Maintain existing systems and documentation
• Light development work (where skills allow)
• Act as a go‑to person for lab reliability and day‑to‑day technical support

Skills & Experience They're Open To

This role is intentionally flexible and open to different backgrounds, including:

Technical Skills (not all required)

• Linux (essential interest)
• Basic networking knowledge
• PC building and hardware troubleshooting
• Python and/or Bash scripting
• Exposure to test environments or IT infrastructure

Backgrounds of Interest

• Graduate (Engineering or IT)
• Someone already working in IT who wants a hands‑on technical change
• Candidates with A‑Levels or BTEC in IT
• Practical mindset > formal job title
