You'll be working directly with test equipment on the shop floor — diagnosing faults down to circuit card and component level on complex electrical and electronic assemblies. This is not a design role. If you're happiest with a scope in hand and a fault to chase down rather than a CAD screen , this is built for you. What you'll be doing Fault-finding and diagnostics on PCBs and electronic sub-systems down to component level Hands-on use of oscilloscopes, DMMs, signal generators, and power supplies Supporting new test facilities, specifications, and operator instructions Working closely with production and quality teams to hit build schedules Contributing to defect reviews and corrective actions in a controlled defence environment What you'll bring HNC (or equivalent) in Electronic/Electrical Engineering Strong hands-on experience with electronic test and fault finding — PCB/board-level, not just system-level Solid grasp of digital and analogue measurement techniques Confidence writing test instructions, specifications, and technical reports Nice to have (not essential) RF/microwave exposure at sub-system level Automated test equipment (ATE) experience Environmental or high-voltage testing awareness Defence or other regulated manufacturing background (aerospace, automotive, rail) SAP exposure Why this role Real faults, real test equipment — genuinely hands-on Stable, long-term defence programme, not short-term firefighting Clear processes and strong production support Supportive, experienced engineering team Apply Guidant Global HR Services, Recruitment & Selection Similar Pcb Test Engineer Jobs Popular with Other Job Seekers Production Test Engineer - PCB Morson Edge Central Ind Est, Bolton (BL3), BL11 1AF £34 - 37 per hour + Umbrella 1 day ago PCB Test Engineer Certain Advantage Bolton, Greater Manchester, BL5 1EE £37 per hour, Benefits Overtime Rate 1 day ago Quality Engineer Anord Mardix (UK) Ltd Kendal (LA9), LA9 6NS 1 day ago Test Manager - SC Cleared Sanderson Government and Defence Preston, Lancashire, PR0 £550 - £600 per day 4 weeks ago Senior Environmental Test Engineer Thales Group Belfast, County Antrim Competitive 2 days ago Senior Test Engineer AJ BELL BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LIMITED Salford Quays, Salford (M5), M5 3EE From £45,000 to £60,000 per annum plus bonus and benefits 11 hours ago NEW Quality Engineer - 18 Month Fixed Term Contract Morson Edge Crosland Moor, Huddersfield (HD4), HD4 5DD Competitive + Benefits 1 day ago Principal Quality Assurance Engineer Hackajob Ltd Park Town, Luton (LU1), LU1 £60k - £90k per year 1 week ago QA Automation Engineer- Greater Manchester Searchability (UK) Ltd Greater Manchester £400 - £500 per day 2 weeks ago Senior SCADA / Controls Engineer - Critical Infrastructure KO2 Embedded Recruitment Solutions LTD Ferryhill, Aberdeen (AB11), AB11 £70 - £80 per hour 1 day ago PCB Test Engineer – Defence Manufacturing jobs PCB Test Engineer – Defence Manufacturing jobs in Bolton Manufacturing jobs Manufacturing jobs in Bolton Production jobs Production jobs in Bolton Jobs in Bolton Full Time jobs Weekend jobs Retail jobs Summer jobs NHS jobs Night Shift jobs Apprenticeship jobs Immediate Start jobs Warehouse jobs Cleaning jobs No Experience jobs Remote jobs Admin jobs Administration jobs Apprenticeships jobs Tesco jobs Get hired.
