Test & Validation Engineer II

About the Role

An opportunity to work in the zero-carbon power generation technology of hydrogen fuel cells. Working as part of the Product Development team, this role will apply Test & Validation engineering skills to support the design and development of commercial products for use in applications as varied as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), automotive & aerospace applications, to industrial power systems.

The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting assigned Test & Validation work packages and supporting a product development programme.

This role will include;

• Record and follow defined test methods and work instructions to suit product requirements, functionality and safety of the validation plan
• Operating and maintaining assigned test equipment
• Performing product validation activities (including endurance, environmental, robustness and certification testing) to meet project milestones
• Generating, analysing and reporting test results in technical reports, using statistical tools to define the predicted reliability and confidence of the product
• Participating in failure root cause analysis and product quality investigations.

About You

You will hold a BEng, BSc (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline, and will normally have 2 years’ relevant experience of laboratory or industrial experience.

You will have proven technical capability and be able to demonstrate experience of:

• Product verification & validation testing, test reporting and data analysis
• Experience in experimental methods in a technical, scientific environment
• Delivering work packages to technical & commercial requirements on time
• Experience working within quality systems and to safe working practices
• Troubleshooting faults to test methodology and product performance.
• Problem solving and experimental methods (for example 8D, 6 Sigma, DMAIC, etc) in a product development environment.

Knowledge of key Validation principles such as reliability growth, accelerated life testing and statistical analysis is also extremely beneficial.

A key skill is the ability to predict and understand the stresses and environments that a product will be subjected to in real world usage, and design tests to simulate these conditions in controlled laboratory environment.

It is key to us that you have a commercial mindset and the ability to work with a flexible and solutions focused approach, in an agile and fast paced environment.  You must also be able to work collaboratively with a cross-functional team alongside both technical and non-technical colleagues.  As such, excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, are vital.
