Senior Test Engineer

Currently looking to speak to Senior Test Engineer for a client of ours in Hethel.

Senior Test Engineer (permanent) - on-site working only
Senior Test Engineer (contractor) – Daily rate – required for an immediate start, 6 month contract. – on site working only - OUTSIDE IR35

The Senior Test Engineer is an integral member of the Test and Simulation team.
You will be responsible for dynamometer verification testing of electrical drive systems.

With a focus on the testing and verification of electric motor components, including test rig and fixture design changes, NI code verification and all relevant tasks associated with operation of the dyno
machine.

Some Duties.
• Manage and plan tests, tear down, verification, validation and competitor
benchmarking activities. Contribute to overarching project plans to ensure adherence
to schedules are maintained and compliant with company processes.
• Manage and commission test jigs and fixtures required to complete test plans.
• Effectively identify and communicate issues to upper management in a clear, concise
and timely manner while driving action based on urgency.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and orderly environment reflective of HSE principles.
• Design Test system architecture required to meet and work in accordance with
verification and validation tasks detailed within Verification and Validation Plans
• Implement NI LabVIEW code to perform verification and validation tests on electric
drive systems in accordance with relevant engineering standards (BSI-(phone number removed)
• Produce technical reports that evaluate and compare product performance and
statistical data for internal and external use.
• Process and evaluate data that is collected from testing to determine the validity in the
data and that tests being performed are true and correct.
• Perform tests in accordance with test plans and ensure data

Experience
• Experience in an engineering development environment, preferably sectors where
testing of electro-mechanical machines is prominent (such as Automotive)
• Proven experience in writing technical reports in accordance with verification and
validation procedures.
• Excellent understanding of basic electronics principles including measurement
principles (isolated vs differential measurement methodology, bridge, 4-wire)
• Knowledge of signal Measurement best practices. (i.e., when to use coax over
twisted pair, grounding strategy, guarding & shielding techniques (electric,
magnetic & conductive etc)
• Ability to calculate measurement error and understanding noise floor (intrinsic
noise, thermal noise, flicker noise, shot noise, SNR)
• Knowledge of data acquisition (sensor/transducer, signal conditioning, signal
processing. A too D, data logging/transmission)
• Good understanding of Visual programming, NI LabVIEW, critically understanding
measurement synchronisation (simultaneous sampling), data processing, multithreaded processes. Benefit understanding of additional languages and use of
API/sdks (e.g., c++, c#)

Should this sound of interest, please apply with your latest CV and I will give you call to discuss
