You'll work alongside the myenergi test team to validate new product variants from first-board bring-up through to factory-readiness, and to build the automated test infrastructure that makes repeatable validation possible at scale. Hardware Bring-up & Interface Validation Validate new PCB variants at board level power-on sequencing, signal integrity, interface checks Test and characterise all communication interfaces: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, BLE, 4G/LTE, and PLC (ISO 15118) Diagnose and document hardware/firmware integration issues; work with firmware engineers to identify root causes Support pre-compliance testing activities alongside the companies compliance team : EMC prescreening, electrical safety checks, grid connection interface validation (G98/G99 awareness) HIL Testing & System Expansion Execute existing HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) test suites for new product variants Expand HIL system compatibility to cover new hardware configurations : add new test points, update stimulus/response scripts, validate coverage gaps Work with the firmware and test teams to align HIL scenarios with real-world use cases Test Automation & Scripting Write new automated test scripts covering interface, functional, and regression test cases Build or extend test applications and tooling that integrate with the existing CI/CD pipeline Develop reporting infrastructure : clear, structured test reports that communicate pass/fail status, coverage, and defect details to engineering and product teams Align test cases with Jira and ensure traceability from requirement through to test evidence Factory Test Support Support production engineering to configure and validate bed-of-nails test fixtures for new variants Assist with EOL (end-of-line) test rig setup ensuring factory test coverage matches product specification Document factory test procedures and pass/fail criteria clearly Embedded systems test experience : hands-on validation of electronic hardware/firmware products; comfortable with PCB bring-up, lab equipment, and debugging unfamiliar boards Interface & protocol testing : proven experience testing at least two of: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, BLE, 4G/LTE, PLC or CAN : at a functional and diagnostic level (not just ping-and-pass) Test automation scripting : Python or equivalent; experience writing structured automated test scripts that run in a CI/CD context HIL or bench test systems : experience operating and extending hardware-in-the-loop or automated bench test environments Test reporting : able to produce clear, structured test reports; experience with test management tools (Jira, Qase, or equivalent) Communication : comfortable working in a multidisciplinary engineering environment; clear written and verbal reporting On-site availability at Stallingborough for the duration of the contract Desirable Skills & Experience Knowledge of EV charging standards or residential energy systems (IEC 61851, OCPP, ISO 15118, G98/G99) Experience with pre-compliance or EMC test activities Familiarity with CI/CD systems (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) Factory test or production test experience (bed-of-nails, ICT, EOL) Electronics or Embedded Systems degree (or equivalent practical background) AI-assisted testing : use of AI tools to accelerate test script generation, documentation, or defect analysis
