Electrical Tester

What you'll do:

Electrical Testing of PCB Sub-Assemblies:

• Perform functional and safety testing on PCB assemblies ranging from 12VDC to 110VDC and 24VAC to 254VAC.
• Work to documented test specifications, ensuring accuracy, repeatability, and compliance.
• Use test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, insulation testers (meggers), and programming tools.
• Test custom-built or spare PCBs/units before packaging and dispatch.

• Identify faults quickly and accurately in a fast-paced production environment.
• Read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, and test procedures.
• Troubleshoot down to component level, performing repairs, rework, or recommending corrective actions.
• Prevent scrap through logical problem solving.
• Perform soldering and de-soldering where applicable.

• Inspect incoming components and assemblies to AQL standards, signing off batches or escalating concerns.
• Record inspection results and support Quality in raising supplier issues.
• Record issues in the Operations Log for Engineering review.
• Record test data for samples, diagnostics, and quality reporting.

• Level 3 qualification or above in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or Electrical Testing (or equivalent).
• Apprenticeship-trained in electrical or electronics highly desirable.
• Higher level qualifications (HNC/HND/Degree) desirable but not essential.

• Minimum 3 years of experience in electrical testing, PCB testing, or electronic manufacturing environments.
• Strong understanding of electronic principles, AC/DC circuits, and component-level behaviour.
• Proficient in using electrical test and measurement tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, insulation testers (meggers), and programming tools.
• Able to read schematics, engineering drawings, and test specifications with high attention to detail.
• Experience with PCB programming tools and firmware loading but not essential.
• Confident in systematic fault-finding and repairing boards.
• Confident using Microsoft Office applications including Outlook, Excel, Word, and Teams. For basic data-entry and administrative capability for updating logs, reports, and test records.
• Experience using SAP (or similar ERP software) for booking work in/out, traceability, and part management but not essential.

• Act as the main responsible tester for the area.
• Manage personal workflow independently while responding to urgent requests when required.
• Ensure the test area is organised, compliant with 5S, and that equipment is maintained.
• Support standardisation of testing processes across the team.
• Maintain accurate traceability for parts, processes, and repairs.
• Monitor calibration status of test equipment and flag when recalibration is required.
