Product test engineer

Product test engineers verify that products work, last, and meet their requirements before they reach customers. The work involves designing test methods, running and overseeing physical and automated tests, interpreting ambiguous results, and recommending design changes based on what the testing reveals.

They work in manufacturing across consumer, industrial, and electronics sectors. The role suits methodical, sceptical engineers who enjoy trying to break things to make them better, and who take satisfaction in catching problems before they ship.
