Description

Test Equipment Engineering Team Lead

Are you someone who enjoys being close to the engineering detail, but who also gets genuine satisfaction from leading people and improving how a team operates?

If so, this role as the Test Equipment Engineering Team Lead could be just the one for you.

It sits within a technology led manufacturing business where automated test is business critical, not an afterthought. The focus is on designing, delivering and continuously improving manufacturing test systems used on complex electronic products.

This could be a strong next step for an experienced engineer who has already taken on leadership responsibility and is ready to formalise that move.

The role:

You will be responsible for leading a cross-disciplinary team designing and supporting manufacturing test systems, covering both hardware and software elements.

Your role will include:

Leading, mentoring and supporting a team of multi-discipline Engineers
Managing team capacity, priorities and resourcing to meet delivery demands

Providing technical leadership across automated manufacturing test systems

Designing and supporting test equipment, fixtures and test software (C#)

Working closely with Manufacturing, NPI, Quality and Development teams

Defining test strategies, coverage and Design for Test approaches

Supporting trial builds, pilots and production ramp-up

Ensuring test systems are robust, repeatable and production-ready

Driving continuous improvement across test capability, processes and ways of working

Supporting both in-house manufacturing and external partners where required

What we need from you:

A bias towards either hardware or software is absolutely fine but you must have an understanding of testing across both.

Key experience and skills:

Experience designing and delivering manufacturing test systems
Strong technical background in either software or hardware test (with system level understanding)
Previous experience leading, mentoring or managing engineers
C# experience for test system development or support
Understanding of electrical measurement, test principles and validation

Experience analysing test data and improving yield, repeatability and efficiency

Exposure to mid-volume production environments

Proven problem-solving skills and practical engineering judgement

Comfortable with task delegation, prioritisation and resource planning

An interest in developing people and improving team performance

Able to balance delivery pressure with quality and sustainability

Clear, confident communicator across technical and non-technical teams

Happy to undertake UK & International travel as needed

What can you expect in return:

Salary of £75,000 - £85,000, dependent on experience
Private health & dental care
Subsidised onsite restaurant
Enhanced pension contribution
Flexible working hours
Employee assistance program
Large free parking area
Social events
