Associated Product Development Engineer

As our new Associated Product Development Engineer, you will be driving product verification and testing of controllers, PCB assemblies, and electronic systems within our Water Utility Controls team — from building prototypes and designing test setups to analyzing results that shape engineering decisions. You'll be part of a diverse, supportive and inclusive culture, that celebrates our differences and puts people first by fostering growth, well-being, and a sense of belonging.

What you will be doing As a key part of the WU Product Development Controls team, you'll create impact by Ensuring the quality, safety, and compliance of next-generation pump controllers and electronics through rigorous testing and innovative problem-solving.. Your main responsibilities include: • Design and build test setups for electrical testing of controls, PCBs, and electronic assemblies, and execute test cases with the highest quality standards • Facilitate and coordinate prototype building — modifying parts, swapping components, integrating sensors, and assembling controllers, motors, and pumps • Analyze and evaluate test results, providing clear technical recommendations to the Engineering and Development teams • Conduct and coordinate compliance testing per global standards (UL, CE, EMI, EMC, Radio) and manage third-party lab testing when required • Deliver high-quality test documentation and reporting in SharePoint and TVS for all project stakeholders • Support DP and PLM projects by planning test activities, providing technical solutions, and ensuring prototyping costs meet requirements What makes you a great fit Above all, you are a hands-on engineer with strong electrical testing expertise, a keen eye for quality, and the ability to bridge the gap between lab work and product development decisions. We would also imagine that you have: •Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field •3+ years of experience in electrical/hardware testing, including PCB-level testing and test setup design •Working knowledge of global compliance standards such as UL, CE, EMI, EMC, and safety testing •Understanding of communication protocols (e.g., Modbus) and basic electrical board functionality It is a plus if you also: •Experience with agile product development processes and PLM tools •Familiarity with pump, motor, or controller product development environments •Ability to provide cost-conscious test planning and coordinate with third-party testing laboratories Why you will love working here We care! Day to day, you can look forward to: •A working environment built around your needs, with flexible hours, home working opportunities and parental support. •Annual bonuses, health insurance and a strong focus on well-being activities. •Three days' additional paid leave for volunteering in your community. •Access to on-demand training and learning sessions and carefully structured programmes to pursue personal and professional development opportunities. We are inclusive! Celebrating and valuing our differences helps us see possibilities where others can't.
