Product Validation Technician

Are you a technician who thrives in the high-stakes world of Test and Development?

I am currently representing a high-growth Automotive Technology firm that is developing ground-breaking propulsion systems for the global electric vehicle market. They are looking for a experienced Product Validation Technician to join their team in the Surrey area.

This isn't a standard assembly role. This is about building the future from the ground up and ensuring the integrity of the lab that makes it possible.

1. R&D Prototyping & Test:

• Build and assemble complex electromechanical prototypes and electronics modules.
• Design and build custom test jigs and fixtures (wiring, soldering, and mechanical assembly).
• Execute validation tests, using oscilloscopes and data loggers to prove product reliability.

2. Lab Asset Management:

• Take ownership of the equipment inventory and calibration lifecycle.
• Ensure the facility remains compliant with international quality standards (ISO 9001/17025).
• Manage external calibration vendors and internal maintenance budgets.

The Ideal Profile:

• Qualified: HNC/Tech Level IV in an Engineering or Technical discipline.
• Skilled: Strong background in soldering (IPC 610 knowledge is key) and wiring.
• Analytical: Experience interpreting complex electrical schematics and mechanical drawings.
• Organized: You have a "quality-first" mindset and experience working within ISO-regulated environments.

Why Join? You will be working on a unique technology that is set to disrupt the EV industry. This is a "hands-on" role where you can see your builds go from the bench to the vehicle, supported by a team that values autonomy and technical courage.
