Summary

YASA is looking for a Test Operations Engineer to assist the Test & Validation team in following test plans, executing tests, and gathering data whilst reporting on results to internal and external customers. This role will suit someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and who is willing to take a hands-on approach to test setup, instrumentation, and data acquisition. As part of the role, you may be required to travel to other YASA locations or external suppliers.

This role will be for a 12-month fixed term contract.

  • Development of dyno and test rig systems to ensure efficiency and data quality
  • Developing custom LabVIEW and/or MATLAB applications for test rig configuration, control, and automated reporting
  • Hardware integration using Analog and Digital, Modbus, and CANbus protocols.
  • Overseeing test rig networking and data storage systems.
  • Resolve technical test rig issues related to rig hardware and software
  • Support external test houses on setup, integration, and commissioning of Inverters for test applications.
  • Defining and overseeing safety systems, including E-Stop, interlock systems and insulation/isolation monitoring.
  • Identify opportunities for capability improvements and support delivery of new test rigs and upgrades.
  • Carry out training for engineers and technicians for test rig related activities.
  • Possible travel to other YASA locations or external suppliers may be required.

To succeed in this role, we believe you'll need:

  • A degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical or Electronic Engineering or equivalent knowledge and experience.
  • The ability to program in LabVIEW and/or MATLAB. Preferably, have a minimum of qualification of Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer (CLAD).
  • Experience with NI data acquisition products, including C-series and PXI hardware.
  • Knowledge of communication protocols including CANbus, Modbus over TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, etc.
  • Ability to setup high speed capture tools such as: Oscilloscopes and Power Analysers
  • Knowledge of code-sharing systems (e.g. GitLab or GitHub)

Our mission is to lead the design and delivery of the best electric motor technology available. We believe that diversity of thought, and experience is a key driver of innovation. Research shows that while men apply to jobs if they meet ~60% of criteria, women and those in traditionally underrepresented groups tend to only apply if they check all boxes. So if you think you have what it takes but don’t meet every single point, please still get in touch. We’d love to have an initial chat and see if you could add value.

Benefits:

  • Discretionary bonus
  • 28 days’ holiday
  • Pension scheme
  • Private medical plan with Bupa
  • 4 x death in service

Negotiating Your Machine Learning Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Matches Your Technical Mastery and Strategic Influence in the UK’s ML Landscape Machine learning (ML) has rapidly shifted from an emerging discipline to a mission-critical function in modern enterprises. From optimising e-commerce recommendations to powering autonomous vehicles and driving innovation in healthcare, ML experts hold the keys to transformative outcomes. As a mid‑senior professional in this field, you’re not only crafting sophisticated algorithms; you’re often guiding strategic decisions about data pipelines, model deployment, and product direction. With such a powerful impact on business results, companies across the UK are going beyond standard salary structures to attract top ML talent. Negotiating a compensation package that truly reflects your value means looking beyond the numbers on your monthly payslip. In addition to a competitive base salary, you could be securing equity, performance-based bonuses, and perks that support your ongoing research, development, and growth. However, many mid‑senior ML professionals leave these additional benefits on the table—either because they’re unsure how to negotiate them or they simply underestimate their long-term worth. This guide explores every critical aspect of negotiating a machine learning job offer. Whether you’re joining an AI-focused start-up or a major tech player expanding its ML capabilities, understanding equity structures, bonus schemes, and strategic perks will help you lock in a package that matches your technical expertise and strategic influence.
