Test Engineer | £39.6k–£46.8k incl. Shift Allowance | Severn Beach (Bristol Area)
Permanent | Rotating Shift Pattern | High-Tech Engineering Sector

Are you an experienced Electrical Test Engineer looking to take your skills to the next level in a high-tech, fast-paced environment? This is your chance to join a growing team at the forefront of innovation in semiconductor and micro/nano-structure technology.

We're working with a leading engineering company based near Bristol that delivers precision tools and systems used in everything from quantum computing and medical diagnostics to electric vehicles. Due to sustained growth, they are looking to bring four new Test Engineers on board to support the testing and delivery of complex, cutting-edge products.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Conduct functional testing on high-tech systems, ensuring full compliance with detailed test procedures.

  • Own your product throughout the test phase, proactively resolving technical issues and faults.

  • Support continuous improvement and fault analysis initiatives to enhance product quality.

  • Accurately capture data, report issues (FRACAS), and work closely with engineering and production teams.

  • Participate in pre-acceptance visits and, on occasion, travel to customer sites for system commissioning.

  • Champion 5S and contribute to safety, quality, and cleanliness across the test department.

    What We’re Looking For:

  • Time-served Electrical apprenticeship or qualifications such as City & Guilds Level 3, HNC, HND, or BTech in Electrical Engineering.

  • Strong hands-on testing and fault-finding experience to component level.

  • Proven ability to follow technical procedures and maintain documentation to high standards.

  • A team player with excellent communication skills and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.

  • Comfortable working on a rotating shift pattern and open to occasional travel when required.

    What’s In It For You:

  • £33,000 – £39,000 base + 20% shift allowance

  • Total package: £39,600 – £46,800

  • Early finish on Fridays, 25 days holiday, private healthcare, and a tailored benefits package.

  • Long-term career development within a highly respected engineering company.

  • Opportunity to work on genuinely pioneering technology in a collaborative, high-energy environment.

    If you are interested, please call Sam Bishop on (phone number removed) or apply online

  • Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK to apply for this position

How to Find Hidden Quantum Computing Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IOP & More

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and disruptive fields in science and technology. As the UK invests in a national quantum strategy—with funding for hardware, software, cryptography, and applications—demand for quantum talent is growing rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers miss: many quantum computing roles are never posted on public job boards. Instead, opportunities are shared quietly through research partnerships, industry working groups, spinout collaborations, and professional bodies. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access hidden quantum computing jobs in the UK by leveraging organisations like the Institute of Physics (IOP), BCS, Quantum Technology Hubs, UKRI, and other key communities. We’ll explore how to use membership directories, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), CPD events, and project funding announcements to gain visibility, build relationships, and find roles long before they’re advertised.

How to Get a Better Quantum Computing Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the emerging field of quantum computing can feel particularly discouraging, especially after years of specialised training and research. But as the UK continues to invest in quantum technologies across academia, defence, computing and cryptography, new roles are opening in both startups and national programmes. Whether you're a physicist, quantum software engineer, hardware specialist, or quantum algorithm researcher, this guide will help you turn redundancy into an opportunity for career growth.

Quantum Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey is meaningless in today’s quantum landscape Ask a Quantum Software Engineer debugging Qiskit kernels at midnight, a Cryogenic Hardware Engineer coaxing qubits below 10 mK, or a Quantum Algorithm Researcher squeezing decoherence budgets: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer shifts faster than a Rabi oscillation. Since early 2024, the UK Government funded £2.5 billion across its National Quantum Strategy, Amazon Braket and Azure Quantum slashed circuit prices, & post‑quantum cryptography mandates yanked quantum literacy into cyber road‑maps. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed last year looks like an outdated calibration curve—blind to the silicon spin‑qubit breakthroughs in Cambridge, the Oxford ion‑trap scale‑ups, or the London quantum‑software unicorn that closed a £200 million Series C. To swap guesswork for evidence, QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk has distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority & you’ll instantly see a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no vague “competitive” claims. This article unpacks that formula, highlights the forces pushing quantum‑computing pay skywards, & gives five practical moves to lift your market value inside ninety days.
