Full job description

Engineering Test Technician

Salary: £35K per annum

Reporting To: Chief Technical Officer

Location: Office Based in Papworth, Cambridge

Hours: 37.5 per week

Join one of the UK’s most exciting and rapidly growing solar energy businesses.

At Viridian Solar, we are shaping the future of solar technology within the construction sector. Part of Marshalls PLC, we combine the agility of a fast-growing innovative business with the stability and support of a leading UK PLC.

As we enter a new phase of expansion, we are looking for a motivated Engineering test technician to join our R&D team, contributing to new product development, product improvement and testing.

If you’re ambitious, curious and eager to learn, we’ll provide the training, support and opportunities to help you develop.

The role

We’re looking for an engineering technician to support product development and testing across the full lifecycle—from prototype build and type approval through to production and ongoing improvement. You’ll play a key role in both developing new products and enhancing existing ones through testing, diagnostics, and collaboration with internal teams and manufacturing partners.

This is a hands-on role involving prototype work, testing, and occasional travel, with opportunities to contribute to continuous improvement and innovation.

What you’ll be doing

Supporting product development from prototype build through to type approval and production testing
Contributing to the continuous improvement of existing products, including quality checks on pre-production batches and diagnostic testing
Participating in testing and certification activities for new and existing products
Maintaining R&D facilities and equipment to support development work

Product development and testing

Interpreting engineering requirements and technical specifications
Building and testing prototypes
Supporting type approval for UK and international markets
Preparing for and carrying out product testing (in the UK and occasionally overseas)
Supporting field trials and early installations of new products
Working with 3D CAD models and technical drawings

Product improvement and testing

Troubleshooting and resolving issues with existing products
Supporting product improvements through structured testing and analysis
Visiting sites to investigate and resolve installation or performance issues
Updating technical documentation and design files
Collaborating with manufacturing partners to support product quality and performance

About you

Experience in engineering design and/or testing (mechanical and/or electrical)
A relevant vocational qualification or equivalent practical experience
Understanding of product development and testing processes, with a minimum of 3 years' experience
Experience building and testing prototypes, including designing and making test rigs and working with workshop tools (or willingness to develop these skills)
Experience in electrical testing is helpful but not essential
Familiarity with product certification and type approval processes is beneficial
Comfortable using IT tools, including spreadsheets (e.g. Excel)
Ability to accurately record test data, produce reports, and communicate findings clearly

You may also bring:

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Attention to detail and an organised approach to work
Ability to manage time effectively and meet deadlines
A proactive mindset and willingness to take initiative
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively
Clear and effective communication skills
Willingness to travel occasionally within the UK and internationally (with flexibility where possible)

What success looks like

Testing Ownership: You will take full ownership of product testing and accreditation processes at both national and international levels.
Proactive Problem Solving: You will independently propose, design, and construct test rigs as part of the root-cause analysis and problem-solving process.

What we offer

26 days paid leave, rising to 28 days after two years’ service, plus public holidays
Discretionary annual bonus
Generous company pension scheme, 3% employee; 6% employer
Private Medical Insurance through Vitality Health
Company shares ownership programme
Cycle to work scheme
Summer and Christmas company events
Employee Assistance Programme
2x Salary death in service
Employee discount scheme

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: From £35,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
