Let us introduce the role

Do you have experience developing test equipment?
Can you use Labview, Matlab or other programming language for test equipment automation and/or data analysis?
Do you know about component testing and the importance of conformity or testing/calibration?
Do you have knowledge or experience of reliability analysis?
If you answer 'Yes' to some of these - you might be just what we are looking for!

A degree in a relevant engineering discipline or relevant working experience
