Creation and oversight of test programmes. Provide ongoing technical support for test programmes. Identify time constraints within test programmes and use initiative to mitigate accordingly. Monitor and chase progress, and provide regular status updates to stakeholders and line managers in a timely manner. Technical interpretation of requirements and test methods defined within national and professional bodies standards and specifications. Creation of test specifications that fully define test requirements to enable internal and external test facilities to complete work without ambiguity. Conceptualise and design test jigs, fixtures and custom test equipment to enable the products being tested to interface with test equipment. Provide assistance and support during interpretation of test requirements/specifications, test failures, ongoing testing activity and generally upon occurrence of issues that require guidance from Engineering. Identification of, and liaison with, appropriate external test facilities where internal facilities do not meet the requirements of test specifications. Scrutiny of test setup at internal and external lab facilities; and approval of setups prior to test commencement, to ensure that test specifications have been understood and implemented correctly. Ensure that test results are recorded in a logical and analytical manner. Interpretation and analysis of test results and compilation of findings (and where necessary, recommendations) in technical reports to internal (NPD team, Quality Department, Business Development and Production Engineering) and external customers. Maintain requirements for national and professional bodies standards and incorporate changes into test programmes as required. Stay abreast of new technology and identify and suggest opportunities for improvement of current test lab equipment, software or methods. Work within strict procedures to ensure the company’s continued ‘test facility accreditation’ validity. Maintain a systematic approach and good housekeeping during the storage and use of technical documents stored within the company’s technical libraries. Use analytical techniques including risk-based testing and desktop design techniques where appropriate. Use exploratory testing techniques and use or re-use a broad range of tools, to support the delivery of testing services across product development. Where necessary, create equipment operating procedures to maximise the likelihood of successful test results. Projects
With the support of the Test and Development Team Lead, be able to process a development project from the inception through to test report handover phase, including preparing test plans, test methods, test specifications, tender and material requirements. Monitoring progress and dealing with stakeholders including customers and suppliers. Work as an integral collaborative member of a project team faithfully carrying out the activities that would be expected of a competent qualified professional. Such duties will include, but not be limited to: Liaising with Engineering and Project teams in establishing test requirements through the development lifecycle for new products. Monitoring and ensuring timely completion of testing activities as part of the NPD process. Provide technical guidance in planning and executing assigned projects. Identify and mitigate projects risks that affect time, resources and scope across all projects. Support design reviews, DFMEA’s product testing and Project Meetings as part of NPD or other team meetings. Design & Risk
Provide consultation during the product's or project’s conception, design and initial product specifications. Identify and mitigate technological risks throughout the design process as well as product or process recommendations post-test for solving non-compliance issues.
