Senior System Test Engineer

Release drawings, BOMs, etc for TE hardware and documentation (VDD’s, SRN’s, etc) for test software on customer’s PDM system.

Prepare and present design data, status, risks, etc at TE design reviews & ensure completion of actions.

Produce required documentation for each stage of the TE development process.

Generate test plans & test documentation to undertake Design Verification testing.

Produce user documentation for DVT system.

Produce TE requirement specifications (i.e. test hardware and test software requirements).

Undertake/support Safety & Cyber security analysis of DVT system.

Produce detailed TE design documentation, including drawings, BOMs, etc.

Liaise with TE software engineer(s) to ensure TE software solution is delivered.

Support initial Design Verification testing of main equipment LRI, where necessary.

Undertake / oversee qualification of TE solution and produce Qualification/acceptance test report.

Establish test requirements for verification/qualification of main equipment LRI.

Propose and see through to conclusion, any TE design changes/improvements required to meet test requirements.

Planning / preparation for TE development, including test hardware (custom/ COTS), tools & test software.

We have a requirement for an experienced Test Systems or Test Equipment (TE) development engineer. The work will involve formalising the TE design for a Design Verification Test (DVT) system, based on an existing prototype test set-up, expanding and improving functionality of the system to meet test requirements and ensuring that each stage of the TE development process from Requirements through to Qualification is completed.

HND / HNC or degree (BSc / BEng) in a relevant STEM-based subject.

Experience of Requirements management tools such as DOORS.

Previous TE development experience for Radar or EW systems.

Experience of developing TE for DVT, ESS (Extended Stress Screening) & Qualification testing.

Able to generate high-quality test documentation (test requirements, TE specifications, TE design data, user documentation, qualification / acceptance test documents & reports).

Previous experience of LabVIEW / Test stand (although proprietary, in-house Test software will be used for this application).

Experience of full TE development lifecycle, from establishing test requirements through to qualification / acceptance of TE.

Candidates should currently be employed as a Test Systems engineer / Test Equipment development engineer with experience of test system design for complex, high-reliability systems, including Commercial OFF The Shelf (COTS) / custom hardware and test software. Ideally, we are looking someone with previous experience in Radar TE development but candidates with experience of other aerospace/ defence applications, space, nuclear, automotive or transportation sectors will be considered.

Experience of working in multi-disciplined Engineering teams.

Disclaimer : Due to the nature of the project, UK/ EU citizenship is mandatory to be able to clear the background checks and obtain SC clearance.

Previous TE development experience for complex, high-reliability systems.

HND / HNC or degree (BSc / BEng) in Electronics Engineering, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or Mathematics.

Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.

Use of General Purpose TE (i.e. spectrum analysers, oscilloscopes, signal generators, etc) & experience of running test scripts.
