# Test Engineer

- **Company:** Brightsmith
- **Location:** Greater London, UK
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Data Analysis, Systems Engineering, Arduino, Automation of Tests, Python (Programming Language), LabVIEW, MATLAB, Raspberry Pi, Test Data
- **Published:** September 8, 2026

## About the Role

* Ideally, you'll have experience testing physical hardware within an R&D, product development or engineering environment, alongside a degree in Mechanical, Chemical or Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
 * Experience within batteries, flow batteries, fuel cells, electrolysers or another electrochemical technology would be a big plus, but it isn't essential.
 * We'd also love to speak to people with experience across areas such as LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, PLCs, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, automated testing, electrochemical testing or Design of Experiments.
 * The biggest thing? You're curious, practical and hands-on. You like understanding why something happened rather than simply recording that it did.
 * It's a brilliant opportunity to join an early-stage technology company at the point where testing becomes critical to scale-up, validation and ultimately commercialisation.

## Description

* Building, improving and troubleshooting test rigs
 * Testing electrical, mechanical, thermal, fluidic and pressure systems
 * Working with sensors, instrumentation and DAQ systems
 * Analysing test data and turning it into practical engineering decisions
 * Investigating failures and getting to the root cause
 * Developing better test methods, SOPs and validation plans
 * Working closely with electrochemists, mechanical engineers, materials scientists and systems engineers
 * Helping automate and improve testing as the technology scales
