My client is a highly successful and iconic creative technology and manufacturing company, that create exciting and innovative inventions and tech.

They are in need of Test Engineers to work on a variety of electronics such as motor, battery, digital and sensing technologies, and electro-mechanical systems.

Responsibilities

• Working closely with the Test and Motor Drive Engineers, you will follow existing (and create your own) Test Methods for DDM system characterisation.
• As directed, complete analysis of test data from motor and product verification to identify issues, non-compliance and opportunities for improvement.
• Generate high-quality test reports with all data and findings from all work undertaken.
• Liaise with the motor drives, control and software engineers to create electronics test rig set ups with a focus on automated testing.
• Identification of issues and repair of commonly used electronics prototypes for testing.
• Assist other engineers within the team with the creation and review of documents such as design schematics, design notes, FMEA, Failure analysis reports, technical review documents and part approval to ensure the lessons learned from tests are captured.
• Be familiar with the use of TestStand to develop client sequences for the automation of verification scripts.

These are the essential skills we need you to have

• A good first degree in electrical/electronic engineering or equivalent qualification or demonstrable experience of equivalent-level working in test and verification environments.
• Experience in a range of aspects of electronics test including some of: power electronics, motor control, battery management, analogue, digital and sensing technologies.
• Some experience in fault finding electro-mechanical systems, repairing them and suggesting improvements.
• Comfortable in a laboratory environment with experience using power sources, oscilloscopes and soldering equipment and taking precise measurements.
• Strong communication and team working skills.

These skills are desirable but not essential

• Experience with high-volume manufacturing and on-line measurement of system performance.
• Experience with Minitab for data analysis.
• Be proficient in the use of TestStand for client sequence development.
• Working knowledge of the fundamentals of electromagnetic machine operation particularly single and multi-phase permanent magnet motors.
• An appreciation of motor control techniques for low and high speed, single-phase and multi-phase permanent magnet motors.
