About the Role
We are seeking an Electronics Wiring Technician to support our Engine Electronic Systems Team. This is a practical, workshop-based role focused on building and maintaining bespoke electrical load boxes and test equipment-supporting the development and validation of advanced control systems for engines and powertrains.
This is not a design engineering role, but a highly skilled hands-on position ideal for candidates with strong experience in wiring, harness assembly, and electrical test systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Reading and interpreting electrical schematics and pinouts
- Assembling and mechanically constructing test boxes to engineering specifications (including drilling, tapping, and using hand tools)
- Wiring and assembling test harnesses (cutting, crimping, soldering, connector assembly)
- Supporting multiple priority projects and ensuring timely delivery
- Collaborating with engineers and internal teams to understand test needs
- Using basic PC tools (Microsoft Office, Teams, Outlook)
Desirable Additional Skills:
- Creating technical sketches or basic design layouts
- Selecting and sourcing suitable components for electrical builds
- Planning and estimating time for build tasks
- Diagnosing and resolving wiring issues using tools like multimeters or oscilloscopes
- Familiarity with tools like Microsoft Visio
What We're Looking For:
- Proven hands-on experience in electronic/electrical equipment assembly.
- Background in panel wiring and harness building.
- A technical qualification such as a Level 3 apprenticeship, HNC, or equivalent experience.
- Experience in control systems, automotive, electrical, or mechanical engineering environments.
- A proactive approach to safety and process improvement.
This role provides unique exposure to evolving electronics technologies and offers excellent professional development in a dynamic and supportive environment.
