Graduate Software Test Engineer (2027 start)

Job Description

<h3>Overview  </h3> The role of the tester is generally a varied and challenging one, and this is certainly the case at Cambridge Consultants. With projects ranging from short 2–3-month technology prototypes to full scale 18month+ product development, the ability to adapt and move quickly is very important to all our test engineers.   With plenty of peer support, you will often be involved at the very start of a project, using your analytical and questioning skills to test the various concepts, requirements, and user journeys even before a line of code is written. Working closely with the test and development groups you’ll learn about new products and domains, and you will design and create test harnesses and scripts to thoroughly test the products being developed.   You will have the opportunity to advance your own skills through our testing community and the variety of projects you will work on. Your skills will contribute to help grow and evolve the group.   Successful candidates can join us between May-October 2027.   There is no deadline for this role, as we recruit on a rolling basis. Once the position is filled, we will close the advert. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.     <h3>About the Test Department   </h3> Cambridge Consultants is a world leader in wireless communications, with one of the largest independent wireless development teams in the world.  The markets that we address include telecommunications, healthcare, industrial, satellite, consumer and automotive.   As a test engineer, you will become aware of all forms of testing. You don't have to know how to do all of them, but need to appreciate what is required, be willing to learn new skills and coordinate getting it done.        <h3>What you'll be doing  </h3> You will be
