## Description

Are you a Systems Engineer, ATE Engineer or Test Engineer looking to work hands-on with advanced defense electronics, where you can build deep technical expertise through extensive internal training and progress long-term within a growing engineering business?

On offer is a technically varied, on-site role focused on automated test equipment for complex electronic systems, giving you exposure across radar, RF, avionics and electronic assemblies, working closely with customers to understand requirements and translate them into robust test solutions.

You will join a specialist engineering team known for delivering high-quality work on mission-critical programs. As a result of continued growth, they are now looking to add an experienced engineer to support new and legacy systems through design optimization, verification and sustainment.

In this role you will develop ATE architectures, integrate test instrumentation, support automated testing, and troubleshoot hardware, software and system interfaces to isolate faults and improve reliability.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineer with automated test and RF/radar/defense electronics experience looking for technical development, greater ownership and a clear route to progress.

The Role:

 * Develop ATE system architectures for RF, radar, avionics and electronic assemblies (on-site)
 * Integrate instrumentation and support automated testing (LabVIEW, TestStand, Python, C# or similar)
 * Troubleshoot hardware, software and system interfaces across new and legacy test systems
 * Support depot repair, production testing, verification, obsolescence mitigation and system sustainment
