Are you an experienced Test Engineer specialising in Electronics, eager to make a meaningful impact in the defence manufacturing sector?

We currently have a fantastic opportunity for a Principal Manufacturing Test Engineer, who will shape the future of production testing within a dynamic, forward-thinking environment.

In this role, you will lead test system introduction and support the testing and diagnostics of electrical, electronic, and RF systems and sub-assemblies during development and early production phases.
