Full Job Description
At Quantum Design Oxford, we develop world-leading research systems that support breakthroughs in quantum technologies, nanotechnology, and advanced materials research. We are looking for a hands-on and technically curious Test & Validation Engineer who thrives on pushing complex systems to their limits. In this role, you will lead the testing and characterisation of our products, developing a deep understanding of their performance under a wide range of operating conditions. You will help define and implement robust test procedures, set up test facilities, specify and integrate measurement equipment, and develop automated test scripts to improve efficiency and repeatability. Throughout the testing process, you will be responsible for ensuring data quality, analysing results, and presenting findings clearly. Your work will play a critical role in validating product performance and providing the evidence our customers need to have complete confidence in our systems. As the in-house expert on system characterisation, you will help drive product improvement, identify performance limits, and contribute directly to the development of next-generation research instruments.
- Experience with programming and automation, ideally using Python.
- A practical, hands-on approach to building and running test systems.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Experience in experimental testing, measurement, or system characterisation. If you enjoy combining software, hardware, and experimental science to solve challenging engineering problems, we'd love to hear from you.
In addition to a competitive starting salary for a Test & Validation Engineer, QD Oxford offers flexible working hours and a half-day on Fridays. We also offer 25 days annual leave, private healthcare, a defined contribution Group Personal Pension Plan, and a flexible benefits package that you can tailor to your own requirements.

We care and work hard to provide a workplace where you can grow and learn.
