We are looking for a Software Engineer to support the transition of complex, high-tech products from R&D into scalable manufacturing. This is a practical, hands-on role focused on production test software, automation, and manufacturing optimisation, working at the intersection of engineering and production. The Role You will play a key part in building and improving the software systems that support production, ensuring products can be manufactured reliably, efficiently, and at scale. Key areas include: • Production test automation and validation, • Software and firmware deployment processes, • Configuration control and traceability, • Continuous improvement of manufacturing workflows What You Will Be Doing New Product Introduction (NPI) • Support transfer of products from development into manufacturing, • Define test strategies and improve product testability, • Work closely with engineering teams to prepare products for production Production Test & Automation • Develop automated test solutions for verification, calibration, and validation, • Integrate software with test rigs, fixtures, and ATE equipment, • Improve test coverage and reduce manual processes Programming & Configuration • Implement robust processes for firmware flashing and software installation, • Manage product configuration and calibration data, • Ensure full version control and traceability through production Continuous Improvement • Increase manufacturing efficiency through automation and tooling, • Reduce errors, manual steps, and bottlenecks, • Improve throughput and reliability of production processes Production Support • Diagnose issues found during manufacturing, • Carry out root cause analysis and implement fixes, • Support non-conformance and corrective action processes Documentation & Control • Create clear production documentation (test processes, programming guides, release control), • Support configuration management and engineering change processes Cross-Functional Work • Act as the link between R&D, Production, Quality, and Operations, • Collaborate with hardware, embedded, and systems engineers, • Support suppliers where production processes are outsourced What We Are Looking For • Someone who can bridge software and manufacturing environments, • Strong problem solver with a practical mindset, • Detail-focused with strong documentation discipline, • Comfortable working across teams and influencing processes, • Able to improve systems, not just maintain them Required Experience • Degree (or equivalent) in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or similar, • Experience developing software tools for production or test automation, • Strong LabVIEW experience, • Understanding of software release and configuration control, • Experience troubleshooting software/firmware in hardware-integrated systems Desirable Experience • NPI experience (prototype → production), • Embedded systems or firmware programming tools, • Programming in Python, C, or C++, • Manufacturing test systems and calibration workflows, • ISO9001 or controlled engineering environments, • Experience with complex electronics or real-time systems What’s On Offer • Opportunity to shape a new Production Engineering function, • Direct involvement in bringing advanced technology into production, • Strong collaboration across engineering and manufacturing, • Long-term development within a high-tech environment, • Competitive salary and benefits, • If you have experience building test software, automation, and production-ready systems, and want to play a key role in scaling complex products into manufacturing, this is a strong opportunity.
