Job Specifications

Software Test & Automation Engineer

Salisbury, Wiltshire (Hybrid)

Up to £60,000 + benefits

The Opportunity

We are recruiting for a Software Test & Automation Engineer to join a specialist engineering company developing high-precision equipment used within the pharmaceutical sector.

The company produces software that runs on complex physical machines. Testing is currently largely manual and system-level, carried out directly on the equipment itself.

The business now wants to introduce greater automation and modernise its testing approach.

This role will play a key part in that transition.

You will inherit an established test function, work closely with experienced engineers, and help introduce structured automated testing practices where appropriate.

What You’ll Be Doing

Carrying out system-level software testing
Testing software directly on industrial equipment and machinery
Designing and implementing automated test scripts or frameworks
Supporting structured validation documentation
Contributing to a longer-term automation strategy
Collaborating with embedded and systems engineers

What We’re Looking For

Experience in software testing at application or system level
Exposure to test automation tools or frameworks
Ability to write scripts in Python, C#, or similar languages
Experience using test management and defect tracking tools (Jira, TestRail, Zephyr, Xray etc.)
Understanding of version control and release processes
Experience working in regulated or quality-focused environments beneficial

The Environment

This is an engineering-led SME, not a large corporate DevOps environment.

You will have the opportunity to:

Build automation capability from the ground up
Help modernise an existing manual testing process
Develop into a technical lead within the test function

Hybrid working is supported, but candidates must be able to attend site near Salisbury when equipment-based testing is required.
