The Redline Group has an urgent requirement for a Contract Test & Validation Engineer to support an established engineering organisation developing advanced electronic products used within safety-critical environments. Following continued product development activity and increasing validation demands, they require an experienced contractor to strengthen their Testing & Validation team and support product release activities.
This role is expected to start ASAP and will run for an initial 6-month period, with potential for extension. The successful contractor will be required on-site in South Wales five days per week due to the laboratory-based nature of the work.
The successful contractor will be responsible for developing and executing test plans, investigating faults, supporting root-cause analysis activities and validating hardware, firmware and complete system functionality. You will also work closely with engineering teams to improve product quality, test coverage and release readiness.
Key Skills Required – Contract Test & Validation Engineer – South Wales
Proven hands-on electronic product verification and validation in a laboratory, including confident use of oscilloscopes, logic analysers, multimeters, power supplies, electronic loads and related test equipment
Strong mixed analogue/digital electronics knowledge, with the ability to read schematics, troubleshoot circuit-level issues and work with microcontroller-based products.
Practical embedded firmware and system integration testing, including diagnosis of hardware/firmware interactions and protocols such as UART, SPI, I²C, CAN and RS485
Experience within Safety-Critical Electronics, Security Systems, Fire Detection, Building Management Systems or other regulated electronic product environments would be beneficial but is not essential.
This role will not accept candidates operating via a PSC; you will therefore need to operate via an Umbrella company.
