Hardware Test Engineer

As our new Hardware Test Engineer, you'll help ensure the quality, reliability and performance of Zaptec's products before they reach our customers. Working closely with colleagues across hardware and firmware development, you'll plan, execute and continuously improve testing throughout the product development process. From validating new designs to pushing products to their limits, you'll uncover weaknesses, solve technical challenges and help shape how we test our hardware. No two days are exactly alike, but your work will typically include:

• Plan and execute test activities for new and existing hardware products.
• Configure and run automated tests for both long-term reliability and product releases.
• Work closely with hardware and firmware engineers to investigate issues and improve product quality.
• Analyse test results and identify trends, risks and opportunities for improvement.
• Contribute to verification and validation strategies and help define how we test future products.
• Develop new test methods and improve our existing test setup.
• Support continuous improvements that make our products even more robust and reliable.

Is this you? You enjoy figuring out how things work and why they sometimes don't. Whether you're investigating an unexpected test result, improving a test setup or validating a new design, you're motivated by solving technical challenges and helping build reliable, high-quality products. You're equally comfortable working hands-on in the lab as you are analysing test results, and you enjoy collaborating with engineers from different disciplines to find the best solutions. Personal skills we value

• You take ownership of your work and enjoy seeing tasks through from start to finish.
• You have a structured and analytical approach to problem-solving.
• You're curious and continuously look for ways to improve both products and processes.
• You enjoy collaborating across teams and sharing knowledge with others.
• You pay attention to the details while keeping the bigger picture in mind.
