Electronics Test & Development Engineer

Electronics Test & Development Engineer

Location: Near Maldon, Essex | Hybrid working

Salary: £42,000 per annum

We are recruiting for an Electronics Test & Development Engineer to join an established semiconductor business working within wireless communications.

This varied, practical role would suit an electronics graduate with around two to three years’ experience in electronics testing, evaluation or design.

You’ll evaluate new products, investigate their performance and develop the circuits and equipment needed to test them. You’ll also build customer demonstration kits and support colleagues with technical queries.

The emphasis is on hands-on testing, fault-finding and problem-solving, with circuit design supporting these activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Test and evaluate electronic products using laboratory equipment.
• Investigate faults and unexpected results, working with design engineers to identify solutions.
• Develop and adapt electronic circuits and hardware for product testing.
• Build and document evaluation kits that demonstrate products to customers.
• Record results and prepare clear technical reports.
• Support the development of automated production test equipment.
• Provide technical support to applications engineers and customers.

Key Skills and Experience

• A degree in Electronic Engineering or a closely related subject.
• Around two to three years’ experience in electronics testing, development or circuit design.
• Practical experience using oscilloscopes, signal generators and similar laboratory equipment.
• An understanding of electronic circuits and a methodical approach to troubleshooting.
• Good attention to detail and confidence documenting technical findings.
• Strong communication skills and a willingness to learn.

Python or embedded C programming experience would be an advantage rather than essential.

Experience with RF, wireless communications, PCB design, Altium or LabVIEW would also be beneficial.

Benefits

• £42,000 per annum.
• 25 days’ holiday.
• Private healthcare.
• Hybrid working.
• 37-hour working week.
• Free on-site parking.
• Opportunity to develop your skills alongside experienced design and applications engineers.

Own transport is essential due to the rural location.

To apply, please send your CV to Searley Owen.
