As an engineer, you understand the importance of products functioning as designed and meeting customer needs. Imagine that your product is used by the UK government to help keep our country safe. Your role is crucial in this context.
You will engage with end users to understand their requirements, develop appropriate test solutions, conduct lab tests and real-world trials, and ensure product reliability when needed. You will document results, analyze product behavior, and provide updates to stakeholders. Your work culminates in a technical report assessing product readiness for deployment.
You will work across technologies such as RF, cellular, GPS, and systems like tracking, audio, and video at various lifecycle stages. You will also help define evaluation approaches. Occasionally, you may need to lift heavy test equipment up to 25kg, which is manageable with two people.
Your career development will be supported through coaching, mentoring, training courses, and accreditation.
