Electronics Test & Automation Team Leader | Cambridge | £65,000 – £78,000

Full-time, office-based

The Role

A growing technology business is looking for an experienced Electronics Test & Automation Team Leader to lead a team responsible for the verification, characterisation, automation and investigation of complex electronic products and subsystems.

This is a hands-on technical leadership position, combining team management with practical engineering involvement. You will lead a team of RF and Baseband Test Engineers, helping to develop robust verification strategies, improve test coverage and introduce greater levels of automation across the product development lifecycle.

Day-to-Day

Your role will involve a mixture of technical leadership, hands-on engineering and team management. You could be:

  • Leading technical reviews and verification planning meetings.
  • Coaching and mentoring Test and Automation Engineers.
  • Reviewing verification results, test reports and project risks.
  • Supporting RF and Baseband fault investigations.
  • Developing and reviewing automated test solutions.
  • Working with development teams to improve test coverage.
  • Collaborating with manufacturing and quality teams on product readiness.

The role is primarily office-based in Cambridge, with occasional UK travel for training, testing and external test facilities. A full UK driving licence and access to a car are therefore required. Reasonable travel expenses will be covered.

About You

We’re looking for an experienced electronics or RF test professional who is comfortable operating at both a technical and leadership level.

You should have:

  • A degree in Electronic Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Previous experience leading or technically managing an engineering/test team.
  • Strong experience in RF and/or electronics verification.
  • Experience working with wireless communication technologies
  • Proven experience developing automated test solutions using Python.

Technical Experience

Ideally, you will have experience with:

  • RF measurement and characterisation
  • Baseband verification
  • Automated test development
  • Python test frameworks
  • Verification and test strategy

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to take a leading role in the development and improvement of electronics verification and test automation within a technically advanced engineering environment.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape test strategy, develop automation capability, mentor engineers and work on complex RF and wireless communication technologies while remaining hands-on with the engineering challenges
