Job Description
Job Title: ATE Test Engineer (Hardware + LabVIEW) - Contract - Outside IR35
Salary: Up to £55 per hour
Job Type: Contract, 3 months initially
Location: Gatwick - Hybrid
Sector: Engineering / Test & Measurement / Electronics
We're recruiting on behalf of a client for a Contract ATE Test Engineer to build, integrate and bring a production final test station into service for a controller product line. This is a genuinely hands-on role - you'll be assembling and wiring the rack, integrating the fixture, and developing/debugging the LabVIEW test application that runs on it, so it suits someone equally happy with a screwdriver and a soldering iron as with LabVIEW code.
Responsibilities:
Assembling and commissioning a production ATE rack - power supplies, industrial PC, touchscreen HMI, measurement and switching hardware, safety hardware
Integrating barcode scanner, fixture interfaces, DUT connection harnesses and test accessories
Cable routing, labelling, continuity and insulation checks, basic electrical verification
Fitting and aligning the test fixture - pin mapping, mechanical interface checks, design-for-maintenance improvements
Developing and debugging the LabVIEW production test application - serial number scanning, product ID, config detection, sequence control, pass/fail logic, diagnostics and operator prompts
Implementing test data logging, results storage and production reporting; supporting executable build and release
Covering digital I/O, relay outputs, analogue inputs, and comms testing (Ethernet, RS232, RS485, CAN)
Debugging integration issues, reducing false failures, and supporting pilot builds through to manufacturing handoverRequirements:
Automated test equipment development experience
Strong National Instruments LabVIEW development skills
Hands-on electrical hardware debug and test instrumentation experience
Experience integrating power supplies, DAQ, switching, measurement equipment and production fixtures
Comfortable working independently on-site with production and engineering teams
Clear documentation and structured fault-finding approachContract details: Up to £55 per hour, Outside IR35, Gatwick - Hybrid - ASAP start - 3 months initially
