As part of the R&D engineering team located in Cádiz, the Test Engineer will contribute to the verification and validation of products developed by the team, supporting activities from early prototypes through pilot builds. The role requires strong hands-on electronics skills, confidence with test equipment, and a working knowledge of software development or test scripting used to support efficient testing and reporting.
This engineer will work closely with Senior Test Engineers and collaborate across electrical, firmware, mechanical, and test disciplines to deliver robust, well-documented validation evidence.
EVT / Development Support: Assist the R&D group during Engineering Verification Testing (EVT) phases and contribute to debugging and issue reproduction on prototypes.
DVT / Validation Execution: Perform Design Validation Testing (DVT) for new products at validation stages, ensuring results are captured clearly and repeatably.
Test Rigs & Fixtures: Develop and improve test rigs and fixtures used for EVT and DVT in-house testing, including basic electrical/electronic circuitry design where required.
Prototype Assembly & Bring-up: Assist R&D engineers with prototype assembly, bring-up support, and practical troubleshooting.
Standards-based Testing: Execute testing to international standards and perform both laboratory-type and functional testing.
Reporting & Documentation: Generate test reports, maintain strong record keeping, and support the development of test procedures (including writing procedures under engineer guidance when applicable).
Lab Equipment Ownership: Support laboratory equipment maintenance and set-up, including items such as environmental chambers, EMC equipment, and instrumentation.
General Technical Support: Provide technical support to the R&D department as required, supporting schedule visibility and execution.
