UTEC, Acteon’s Geo-services business line, harnesses data to optimise designs, save time and maximise your project’s economic value by providing a holistic understanding of the marine environment. Our insights underpin customers’ decision-making from design to asset life extension, ensuring every decision delivers.

We are looking to hire a Quality Test Engineer on a full time, permanent basis. Based at our facility in Wokingham the Quality Test Engineer is to support the investigation, diagnosis, and resolution of product and manufacturing quality issues. Working directly with NX2 systems, PCB assemblies, and panel builds, you will play a key role in ensuring products meet the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance. This is a practical role where you will spend much of your time in build and test environments, partnering with engineers and technicians to troubleshoot electrical faults, identify root causes, and implement effective corrective actions. You will be responsible for driving issues through from initial investigation to final resolution, ensuring lessons learned are captured and embedded within the business to prevent recurrence.

The ideal candidate will enjoy problem-solving, be naturally curious about how systems work, and have the technical ability to analyse faults, challenge assumptions, and drive continuous improvement. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives on getting to the source of issues and making a tangible impact on product quality and operational performance.

Duties & Main Responsibilities

Fault Finding and Diagnosis

Lead hands-on fault finding across variety of products, including NX2 systems, circuit boards, and panel builds

Diagnose electrical faults during build, integration, and testing stages

Investigate issues in power, comms, signal integrity, and system configuration

Work directly on hardware to isolate failures quickly and accurately

Support test teams during failures and take ownership of complex issues

Root Cause Analysis

Own root cause analysis for all product and test failures

Consistent recording of results, in a manner that allows analysis of failures and improvements over time

Break down faults to component, wiring, firmware, or process level

Use structured methods to identify true root cause, not surface symptoms

Drive corrective actions through engineering, production, and suppliers

Ensure fixes are verified, repeatable, and embedded into standard processes

Testing and Validation

Define and improve electrical test procedures for products and assemblies

Strengthen FAT and bench test coverage to expose failures early

Challenge test methods where faults are escaping into later stages

Ensure test results are consistent, recorded

Ability to record success rate

Work hands-on during system bring-up and full system testing

Electrical Quality Control

Inspect and verify panel builds, wiring, and terminations

Validate schematics against physical builds and test outputs

Identify build defects, poor practices, and inconsistencies early

Support engineers in resolving integration issues across systems

Supplier Quality

Investigate faults linked to supplied components, PCBs, and assemblies

Lead supplier-related root cause investigations and corrective actions

Inspect incoming electrical components and assemblies

Feedback quality issues into procurement and supplier management

Ability to read mechanical drawings and inspect to drawings holding suppliers to account

Build and Production Support

Work on the shop floor during builds and system integration

Intervene early when faults or quality issues are identified

Ensure problems are fixed at source, not passed downstream

Improve build instructions and methods based on failure trends

Quality Control and NCR Management

Raise and manage NCRs linked to product failures and defects

Track recurring faults and ensure permanent corrective actions

Link NCR trends back to design, build, or supplier issues

Ensure issues are closed with evidence, not assumptions

Continuous Improvement

Identify repeat failure patterns across products and projects

Drive design, test, and build improvements to eliminate defects

Increase first-time pass rates at FAT and system testing

Improve reliability and reduce rework across all builds

Define and write improvement plans & implement

Required

Strong hands-on experience with electrical systems, panels, or instrumentation

Proven track record in fault finding and diagnosing complex hardware issues

Experience with PCB assemblies, wiring systems, and integrated systems

Experience running or supporting FAT and system testing

Working knowledge of ISO-driven quality processes

Strong fault-finding mindset with structured thinking

Ability to break down complex system failures into root cause

Confident working hands-on with hardware and electrical systems

Ability to read schematics, wiring diagrams, and system layouts

Ability to read mechanical drawings

Direct and confident in challenging poor quality or repeated issues
