Senior Environmental Test Engineer
Location: Uxbridge
Salary: £45,000 - £55,000
Hours: Monday to Friday, 35-hour week (early Friday finish)

Join a trailblazing British engineering firm known globally for crafting the ultimate "last chance" technology - world-leading safety systems for military aircraft. This role lets you dive into the world of high-stakes engineering, where your work directly contributes to life-saving innovations and top-notch performance standards.

Role Overview
As a Senior Environmental Test Engineer, you'll play a hands-on role in planning, designing, and executing a range of rigorous tests to validate that materials meet both design and customer specifications. You'll oversee the entire test process, from planning through to post-test analysis and reporting, using your expertise in testing programs and military/civilian standards.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead various tests, including Ballistic Signal Transmission Testing (BSTS), Vibration & Shock response (SRS), Mechanical Shock, and Environmental Testing.
  • Conduct testing for temperature shock, humidity, altitude, static load, drop testing, and more.
  • Perform detailed analysis and compile thorough reports on test outcomes.
  • Delegate tasks within small project teams, contributing to an efficient and collaborative testing environment.

Ideal Candidate Profile
We're looking for someone with extensive hands-on experience in similar testing procedures, particularly in managing tests through to completion, with a strong capability in reporting and analysis. Prior experience in small, collaborative project teams with a focus on task delegation (rather than management) will be an advantage.

Testing Experience Desired

  • Ballistic Signal Transmission Testing (BSTS)
  • Vibration & Shock response Spectrum (SRS) and mechanical shock testing
  • Static load, climatic, and temperature shock testing
  • Environmental and pyrotechnic/explosive testing
  • Instron Machine, salt fog, and SO2 testing
  • Knowledge of Military and Civilian Test Standards


Team Structure & Working Environment

  • Work within a 5-member team with close collaboration among Environmental Test and Electro-Mechanical teams.
  • Hybrid work arrangement (2 days remote, office attendance as required by testing needs).

Benefits

  • 9% non-contributory company pension
  • 4x salary life assurance
  • Healthcare plan
  • Lunchtime finish every Friday
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (with additional leave purchase options)
  • Cycle to work scheme

Qualifications
A degree in Engineering (2:1 or above) is essential.
