Will the contractor be working 40 hours a week? If not, weekly estimate? Yes
Desired Experience Profile
- Manufacturing Test Engineering and Test Application Development
- LabVIEW, TestStand, MATLAB, and instrument integration
- Test methodology development, measurement system analysis (MSA), Gauge R&R, and uncertainty analysis
- Development of manufacturing test limits, guard bands, and validation strategies
- Requirements definition, URS/SRS development, verification, and validation
Domain Expertise
- LED emitter characterization and optical measurement systems
- Spectroscopy and spectrometer integration
- Optical sensor technologies and photonics-based measurement systems
- Understanding of factors affecting optical measurements, including temperature, drive current, fixturing, alignment, and environmental conditions
- Statistical analysis of measurement variation, repeatability, reproducibility, and yield performance
- Experience translating R&D laboratory measurement methods into robust high-volume manufacturing test solutions
Ideal Candidate
An engineer with a strong combination of manufacturing test development expertise and optical measurement knowledge, including LED emitters, spectroscopy, sensor technology, signal processing, and measurement uncertainty, who can bridge the gap between R&D concepts and production-ready manufacturing test systems.
Direct optical experience would be valuable, but a strong manufacturing Test/Application Engineer with measurement-system development experience could onboard with technical guidance from our internal sensor expert and product experts.

Fraud Alert
Candidate safety is a top priority at Planet Pharma. The industry has seen an increase in people falsely representing themselves as recruiters to gather personal information from job seekers. For your safety, do not provide sensitive data to anyone you have not spoken with thoroughly, never provide banking information during the application process and always double check the email address of the Recruiter to ensure it’s from an official Planet Pharma domain (@planet-pharma.com, @planet-pharma.co.uk, and @ppgadvisorypartners.com) and not a domain with an alternative extension like .net, .org or .jobs.
