• Prepare systems for external certification and type testing, coordinating with notified bodies, test houses and third-party laboratories
• Support in-field testing, commissioning and acceptance activities at customer, partner or pilot sites to validate safety, performance and grid interoperability
• Execute targeted test campaigns covering areas such as electrical safety (LVD), EMC, grid code compliance (e.g. G99/G100 and EU equivalents), functional safety and environmental requirements
• Identify, analyse and troubleshoot hardware, firmware and system-level issues uncovered during testing, working closely with design and software engineers to drive corrective actions
• Translate regulatory and standards requirements into clear internal test plans, acceptance criteria and validation strategies
• Develop and maintain thorough test documentation, including test procedures, reports, evidence packs and compliance dossiers for internal use and external audits

• At least 3 years of experience in a hardware test, compliance, regulatory or certification-focused engineering role
• Strong hands-on experience working with electrical or power-electronic systems in laboratory and/or field environments
• Proficiency with standard electrical test and measurement equipment, such as oscilloscopes, power analysers, multimeters, insulation testers and data acquisition systems
• Experience creating structured test plans, executing formal test procedures and producing clear, high-quality technical documentation
• Working knowledge of relevant standards and regulations, such as LVD, EMC, grid connection codes and related EU/UK directives (or a strong ability to learn them quickly)
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills with a rigorous, detail-oriented approach to engineering work
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple test activities in parallel and operate effectively across lab, site, and external partner environments
