Contract Hardware Test Development Engineer

I'm looking for a Contract Hardware Test Development Engineer to take ownership of building complete hardware test systems from the ground up. This role suits someone who loves getting hands-on with electronics, designing robust test setups, and translating hardware requirements into structured test plans and automated/semiautomated test solutions.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing and developing hardware test systems, fixtures, and setups for new and existing products
• Creating test plans, test procedures, and validation documentation from a hardware perspective
• Selecting and integrating test equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, DAQs, instrumentation, etc.)
• Building test rigs, wiring looms, harnesses, and bespoke hardware interfaces
• Working closely with hardware, firmware, and manufacturing teams to ensure test coverage and reliability
• Debugging hardware issues and feeding back into design improvements
• Supporting prototype bring-up, verification, and production test readiness

Strong background in electronics hardware and hands-on test development - Experience building hardware test setups, fixtures, or automated test systems

• Ability to write clear, structured test plans and test documentation
• Comfortable with oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analysers, power supplies, etc.
• Understanding of PCB-level debugging, signal integrity, and hardware validation
• Any experience with Python, or similar test automation tools is beneficial but not essential
