* Execute manual and automated testing, analysing and presenting data

* Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver robust engineering solutions

* Identify and mitigate technical risks through structured testing approaches

* Proficient in test automation, scripting, and data analysis (Python, Labview, Matlab, or similar)

* Able to troubleshoot complex systems and provide root cause analysis

* Effective communicator, able to present technical findings clearly

* Comfortable in fast-paced, hands-on engineering environments

This is a great opportunity to work on challenging projects, grow your skills, and make a tangible impact on engineering solutions.
