Test Engineer / Lab & Systems Support Engineer
Test & Infrastructure Team
Location / Working Pattern - Abingdon
- Ideally 3 days on site
- Team on site days: Monday, Tuesday & Thursday
- Preference for local candidates due to lab needs
About the Role
This role exists due to a retirement at the end of May, and the team would ideally like someone to start before then to allow for a proper handover.
You'll support a critical test and lab environment, maintaining both hardware and firmware testing infrastructure. You'll also take ownership of a test lab where responsibility currently sits with someone who is leaving.
While primarily a hands on technical support and test role, up to 40% of the role can include development work - which would significantly free up senior team members.
Key Responsibilities
- Maintain and develop test lab infrastructure
- Build and configure PCs
- Support firmware and equipment testing
- Maintain existing systems and documentation
- Light development work (where skills allow)
- Act as a go to person for lab reliability and day to day technical support
Skills & Experience They're Open To
This role is intentionally flexible and open to different backgrounds, including:
Technical Skills (not all required)
- Linux (essential interest)
- Basic networking knowledge
- PC building and hardware troubleshooting
- Python and/or Bash scripting
- Exposure to test environments or IT infrastructure
Backgrounds of Interest
- Graduate (Engineering or IT)
- Someone already working in IT who wants a hands on technical change
- Candidates with A Levels or BTEC in IT
- Practical mindset > formal job title
