Job Description

This is a 6-month contract (with a strong chance of extension) offering 400-450 per day, working inside IR35. Based primarily onsite in Cambridge, you'll be at the centre of a highly technical environment where your input will directly accelerate product delivery and improve manufacturing efficiency. It's a chance to step into a visible role where you'll own the development of next-generation automated test solutions, influence design and production processes, and leave a tangible mark on cutting-edge technology. If you enjoy solving complex technical challenges while driving measurable outcomes, this assignment offers exactly that.
What will I be doing?
As the Electronics Test Solutions Technical Lead, you'll be responsible for delivering three new production test solutions from concept through to implementation. You'll take the lead in requirements capture, liaise with external suppliers, and coordinate internal engineering teams to ensure solutions are delivered on time, on budget, and to specification. Your focus will be on building automated test systems that reduce labour, increase throughput, and validate complex electronic assemblies with speed and accuracy. Alongside managing milestones and resources, you'll be hands-on in shaping test equipment designs, screening builds for defects, and ensuring the systems you implement can support scaled-up manufacturing.
Where will I be doing it?
You'll be part of an strong engineering team within a global technology group recognised for its leadership in advanced optical and electronic systems. This division is at the forefront of designing and manufacturing high-performance solutions that support demanding industries such as telecommunications, data networks, and government systems. The Cambridge office is a collaborative hub where engineers work closely to solve problems, build smarter test infrastructure, and push the limits of technology. If you want to work in an environment where your expertise is valued and your leadership drives real impact, this is the place to do it.
