An established engineering organisation operating within the maritime and defence sector is seeking a Senior Test Engineer to join its test and verification team. This is a fully onsite, hands-on engineering role, ideal for someone who enjoys working directly with hardware, test rigs, and live product testing rather than desk-based analysis alone.
You will play a key role in delivering robust testing and validation of complex mechanical products, supporting projects from early design through to final qualification.
The roleAs a Senior Test Engineer, you will provide technical leadership and hands-on expertise across test planning, rig design, execution, and reporting. You will work closely with project leads, engineers, suppliers, and third-party test facilities, ensuring products meet performance, quality, and reliability requirements.
This role sits within a fast-paced development environment and requires regular physical presence in the test facility. You will also support and mentor other test engineers and contribute to the continuous improvement of testing processes and capabilities.
Key responsibilities:
Capture test requirements from product specifications and engineering drawings
Support project reviews and provide technical input to test strategies
Develop detailed test plans, including rig allocation, scheduling, and hardware requirements
Design and produce bespoke test hardware (e.g. adaptor plates, test shafts) using CAD
Raise quotations and purchase orders for test and rig interface hardware
Create and review risk assessments to ensure testing is carried out safely and within operating limits
Assemble and operate test rigs, monitor live testing via data acquisition systems, and perform inspections at agreed intervals
Manage testing activities at external suppliers, OEMs, and third-party test facilities
Produce comprehensive test reports detailing methodology, data, conclusions, and recommendations
Present test results to internal stakeholders where required
Ensure compliance with QEHS requirements and promote 5S best practices
Actively support training and mentoring of junior engineers
Contribute to compliance with quality and environmental standards (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 14001)
Support the ongoing development of the test facility as a centre of technical excellence
About you
You will ideally bring:
Proven experience in a Test Engineering environment
Strong hands-on experience with mechanical systems and test rigs
A degree (or preferably a Master’s) in a relevant engineering discipline
The ability to work independently with minimal supervision
Strong capability interpreting engineering drawings and designing test hardware using CAD
Confidence carrying out mechanical engineering calculations
Experience within the marine or defence engineering sectors (desirable)
Familiarity with test and monitoring tools such as LabVIEW or similar platforms
Hands-on experience with instrumentation and data capture equipment (e.g. thermocouples, LVDTs, tachometers)
Clear communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across engineering teams
Strong report-writing skills with a high attention to detail
Commercial awareness and a practical, delivery-focused mindset
Willingness to undertake occasional travel
What’s on offer
A technically challenging, fully onsite and hands-on engineering role
Exposure to complex, high-integrity engineering products
The opportunity to influence test strategy and mentor others
A collaborative engineering environment focused on quality and continuous improvement
Long-term, permanent opportunity within a stable and growing organisation
