This is a genuinely interesting opportunity with a specialist manufacturer whose products are used in some of the most demanding environments in engineering. Working within an R&D department and reporting to the Head of Electronics, you will be responsible for testing and validating new hardware before it reaches customers in Automotive, aerospace and high-tech industries.
The role is open at both junior and experienced level. What matters most is a solid foundation in electronics or software, a methodical approach to testing, and a genuine interest in getting under the bonnet of complex hardware.
What you’ll be doing:
- Writing and executing structured test plans for new hardware and embedded products
- Functional, electrical, pneumatic and interface testing of prototypes and pre-production units
- Building automated test scripts in Python for data capture, regression testing and interface validation
- Verifying Ethernet (TCP/UDP) and CAN interfaces; exposure to ModbusTCP / EtherCAT is a bonus
- Analysing results in Excel and Python and producing clear validation reports
- Supporting test rig setups and maintaining clear test records and release-readiness documentation
Skills needed:
- Electronics fundamentals (analogue/digital, embedded hardware)
- Python scripting for automation and device communicationUnderstanding of TCP/UDP and CAN protocols
- Test equipment: oscilloscope, multimeter, logic analysers
- Strong Excel and data handling capability
Skills desired:
- ModbusTCP / EtherCAT exposure
- LabVIEW, MATLAB or similar test tools
- Environmental testing (EMC, temperature, vibration, pressure cycling)
- Pneumatics and mechatronics experience
About you:
You are methodical, detail-driven, and comfortable owning test plans from start to finish. You are equally at home writing Python scripts as you are with a multimeter in hand. Whether you are a recent graduate with a strong electronics or software background looking to break into R&D, or an experienced test engineer ready for a more technically challenging environment, we would like to hear from you.
Location
North Walsham is a market town in North Norfolk, roughly 15 miles north of Norwich. It is a part of the world that offers a genuinely excellent quality of life: affordable housing compared to most of the UK, easy access to the Norfolk Broads and the coast, and a quieter pace without being remote. Norwich itself is close by for city amenities, restaurants and a good night out. For the right candidate, relocation to Norfolk is well worth considering, and the company has supported it for previous hires.
