Automated Test & HIL Engineer (Embedded Systems) Hybrid - London - circa £55 per hour Umbrella - Contract (7-8 months)

We're looking for a hands-on Automated Test & Validation Engineer to help verify next-generation mission-critical embedded power systems used in critical global infrastructure. This is a high-impact role focused on HIL development, closed-loop testing, and automated validation of complex hardware and firmware.

The Role

You'll take ownership of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test systems and build robust automated test frameworks using NI LabVIEW TestStand. Working across Hardware, Software, and Validation teams, you'll ensure systems perform safely, reliably, and exactly as intended.

This is a build-it, break-it, prove-it environment-perfect for someone who thrives in deep technical problem-solving and system-level validation.

What You'll Do

  • Design and own HIL test systems for closed-loop embedded validation
  • Build and maintain automated test frameworks (NI LabVIEW TestStand)
  • Develop, execute, and document test cases, scripts, and reports
  • Deliver unit, integration, and system-level testing across HW/SW interfaces
  • Debug complex embedded system and integration issues
  • Produce clear compliance and validation outputs for engineering teams
  • Drive automation, simulation, and test efficiency improvements
  • Own test setup architecture, software releases, and bug triage

What We're Looking For

  • Degree in Electronics, Electrical or High Voltage Engineering (or similar)
  • Mid level engineering experience of embedded testing experience across hardware + software systems
  • Strong hands-on NI LabVIEW TestStand experience (essential)
  • Proven background in test case design, execution, and reporting
  • Experience testing hardware/software integrated systems at scale
  • Confident troubleshooting of complex embedded faults

Desirable

  • High-voltage or power electronics experience
  • Exposure to subsea / marine / industrial energy systems
  • Python, C or C++ for test automation
  • Knowledge of industrial communication protocols

Why This Role?

  • Real ownership of a HIL test environment from the ground up
  • Cutting-edge embedded systems in critical infrastructure
  • High technical autonomy with visible engineering impact
  • Strong focus on automation, innovation, and continuous improvement
