We’re looking for a hands-on engineer to develop test automation for electronics hardware, improving repeatability, coverage, and efficiency across development and prototype platforms. 

You’ll work closely with hardware and system teams to support verification and characterisation, taking ownership of automation from design through execution. Whilst previous experience with RF would be highly desirable, it is not essential and training is available.

Key responsibilities

• Convert manual electronics tests into automated workflows
• Develop and maintain Python test scripts and frameworks
• Interface with lab equipment and capture, process, and report results
• Support debugging and root-cause analysis with engineering teams
• Continuously improve test coverage, efficiency, and reliability

Essential Skills

• Strong Python programming and software engineering practices
• Experience in hardware or system-level test automation
• Comfortable working in a lab environment with physical hardware
• Ability to translate manual procedures into automated solutions

Desirable Skills

• Exposure to electronics, embedded systems, or hardware testing
• Familiarity with test frameworks, CI/CD integration, or lab instrumentation
• Experience with wireless or communications technologies
