  • Install and configure electrical instrumentation such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power analysers, and signal generators
  • Operate data acquisition systems and test control equipment to capture accurate and reliable data
  • Troubleshoot electrical issues, instrumentation faults, and test anomalies during execution
  • Ensure accurate recording of test conditions, observations, and deviations
  • Analyse electrical test data to verify compliance with design requirements and standards
  • Produce detailed test reports including plots, measurements, and engineering conclusions
  • Identify electrical failures, root causes, and corrective actions where required
  • Provide clear technical feedback to design, systems, and manufacturing teams
  • Support certification and compliance activities with robust electrical test evidence
  • Work closely with electrical, systems, and manufacturing engineers to ensure test coverage aligns with design intent
  • Support prototype builds, harness manufacture, and integration activities with test-based insights
  • Assist in resolving electrical design issues through targeted test investigations
  • Participate in multidisciplinary design reviews and provide electrical test expertise
  • Ensure all electrical test activities comply with UK Health & Safety legislation including HASAWA 1974
  • Promote safe working practices in laboratories, workshops, and test facilities
  • Embed quality and traceability into all test documentation and processes
  • Support audits, compliance checks, and continuous improvement initiatives

Requirements

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related discipline
  • Experience conducting electrical testing in aerospace, defence, automotive, or similar high-integrity environments
  • Strong understanding of electrical systems, wiring practices, power distribution, and electronic components
  • Proficiency with electrical instrumentation and data acquisition systems
  • Ability to interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical specifications
  • Strong analytical skills with experience processing and interpreting electrical test data
  • Good communication skills and ability to work collaboratively across engineering teams
  • Working knowledge of quality management and configuration control processes

Nice to have

  • Experience with environmental electrical testing (e.g., DO-160, MIL-STD-461/810)
  • Familiarity with aerospace or defence electrical standards and certification processes
  • Experience designing or commissioning electrical test rigs and harnesses
  • Knowledge of EMC considerations, grounding, shielding, and electrical safety
  • Experience with PLM or document control systems (e.g., Windchill, Teamcenter, Vault)
