Job description

This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking technology business experiencing strong growth, offering clear scope for professional development. The organisation delivers advanced communication solutions to a broad international customer base across a range of industries, helping users operate in complex and mission-critical environments. The role offers a varied workload with strong collaboration across teams, supported by both your manager and wider colleagues. So, what will you be doing?

  • Creating and running test suites across functional, regression, system, and performance areas to ensure products meet required standards
  • Validating software and applications against defined requirements, identifying and documenting defects
  • Analysing requirements provided by internal product teams and external stakeholders
  • Supporting all stages of the testing lifecycle, including planning, execution, defect management, and reporting
  • Maintaining clear and accurate documentation to track quality and test coverage
  • Building and executing both manual and automated test cases across communication-based systems
  • Working alongside software, hardware, and systems engineers to troubleshoot issues and support resolution
  • Ensuring test environments, tools, and hardware setups are maintained and fit for purpose
  • Contributing to design and requirement discussions, ensuring testability is considered early
  • Providing guidance and support to less experienced team members

The role may involve occasional travel, so a full UK driving licence, access to a vehicle, and a valid passport are required. Travel costs will be reimbursed. There may also be a requirement to undergo Security Clearance at a later stage.

Requirements

  • Degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Telecommunications, or a similar discipline
  • Eligibility to meet UK security clearance requirements
  • ISTQB certification is advantageous

Experience:

  • Strong communication skills combined with a solid technical foundation
  • Around 5+ years' experience in both manual and automated testing, ideally within embedded, telecoms, or other complex systems
  • Experience testing integrated software and hardware solutions
  • Exposure to communication technologies such as LTE or TETRA would be beneficial
  • Detail-oriented with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
  • Experience working within Agile delivery environments

Technical capability:

  • Awareness of protocol and RF testing, along with communication interfaces such as TCP/IP, UDP, Serial, or Bluetooth
  • Familiarity with test management tools (e.g., JIRA, TestRail, Jama)
  • Practical experience with automation and testing tools such as Selenium, JUnit, TestNG, Cypress, Postman, or JMeter

About the company

We're looking for 2 Senior Test Engineers on behalf of a leading provider of mission-critical communications technology, delivering secure voice and data solutions to organisations operating in high-stakes environments across the globe. This will be 5 days on site in Cambridge due to the nature of the role, so if you're seeking hybrid or remote working, or aren't based in the UK, this won't be for you unfortunately. Ypu will be responsible for shaping and delivering testing activities across both manual and automated approaches, supporting a mix of new developments and existing platforms. You'll partner closely with Engineering, Conformance, and Business Support teams to drive improvements in product quality and overall efficiency.
