Electronics Test Engineer

Electronics Test Engineer – Exeter - Salary: £40,000 – £50,000 – Permanent

About the role:

Hands-on Electronics Test Engineer role supporting the development, testing, and validation of low-voltage (12–24V) electronic products. The position sits between design and QA, focusing on PCB fault-finding, prototype testing, and product verification. A practical, workshop-based role with direct impact on product reliability and improvement.

Why join the team:

• Hands-on, workshop-based role focused on real-world testing and fault-finding
• Direct impact on product quality, reliability, and design improvements
• Broad exposure to low-voltage power electronics (12–24V systems, charging, control circuits)
• Opportunity to influence product development from prototype through to production
• Chance to help build and shape internal electronics capability within a growing engineering team

What you’ll be doing:

• Product Development & Test Support
• Build, modify, and test electronic prototypes and pre-production units
• Develop and execute functional and performance tests on PCB assemblies
• Analyse low-voltage circuits including power regulation, charging systems, and control electronics
• Interpret schematics, PCB layouts, and BOMs
• Identify design weaknesses and work with product teams to support iterative improvements
• Testing, Diagnostics & Quality Assurance
• Conduct verification and validation testing against product requirements
• Perform PCB and component-level fault diagnosis, including production and field failures
• Investigate failures from production, endurance, and field returns
• Support root cause analysis, corrective actions (CAPA), and pre-compliance test

What you need:

Strong hands-on electronics experience with low-voltage (12–24V) systems

Proven PCB fault-finding and component-level diagnostic skills

Ability to interpret schematics, PCB layouts, and technical BOMs

Experience using test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads)

HNC/HND (or equivalent) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering with mid-level engineering experience
