Would you like to join a growing product design and manufacturing business, looking for a Test & Validation Integration Engineer who can bridge the gap between physical products and smart IoT technology devices? This is a hands-on role covering the specification, sourcing, testing and validation of IoT devices and sensors, making sure connected features work reliably before products reach the market.

Location: Basildon, Essex. However, excellent commute from London Fenchurch, Liverpool street, Stratford, etc  Salary: £45,000 to £55,000 (DoE - More junior people very much considered!) plus benefits package. Working arrangement: hybrid, 2 to 3 days in the office per week. 

• Specify, source and procure off-the-shelf IoT devices, sensors and hardware systems that meet product requirements
• Design and run DVT/PVT testing protocols to validate smart technologies under real-world conditions
• Troubleshoot integration issues across physical, electronic and data interfaces
• Act as the technical point of contact for hardware suppliers, test labs and manufacturing vendors
