Job Description

Contract Test Engineer - Electronic Device / Embedded Systems

Location: Manchester - Onsite

Rate: up to £55 ph - Outside IR35

Contract length: 3 months initially

We’re supporting an electronics business in South Manchester who is looking for an experienced Test Engineer to support the validation of a new robotic camera system.

The electronic device is a network connected digital camera with pan and tilt capability, designed for use in a real-time operational environment. You’ll be responsible for expanding the current test coverage, focusing on more complex, scenario based testing across hardware and embedded software.

The Role:

You’ll be working with a physical camera test setup onsite. While a basic test plan and templates are already in place, the focus of this contract is to:

• Review requirements and existing test plans
• Develop detailed test cases and test scripts
• Carry out predominantly manual testing
• Perform complex scenario-based testing (e.g. multiple variables interacting such as on-screen display during pan/tilt movement)
• Execute tests and document results clearly and in line with procedural standards

There is scope to introduce test automation if you feel it adds value, but this is primarily a manual testing role.

Skills and Experience required:

• Strong experience testing electronic / hardware based products
• Experience testing embedded software or real-time systems
• Confident creating test cases from requirements
• Able to work independently with excellent attention to detail
• Clear and structured documentation skills

Experience testing camera systems, imaging devices, or motion-based products (pan/tilt systems) would be highly advantageous, but is not essential.

This role would suit someone comfortable working hands on with physical hardware in a lab-style environment.

If you’re a Test Engineer with experience testing embedded software or hardware based systems please get in touch.
