Creating technology that matters. Engineering that makes a difference.
Are you a hands‑on Manufacturing Test Engineer who loves solving complex technical problems, validating cutting‑edge products, and ensuring they leave the factory performing flawlessly? Join us at Novanta in Foxton, Cambridgeshire, where your work will directly support technologies that improve lives, enable precision healthcare, and power some of the most advanced industrial and scientific systems in the world.
As a Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will develop and execute test strategies that ensure our products meet the highest standards of performance and reliability before they reach our customers. You’ll work hands‑on in the lab and on the manufacturing floor, designing tests and fixtures, building automation where it adds value, analyzing data, and collaborating across engineering and operations.
This is a role for someone who enjoys variety — from manual investigative testing to developing automated solutions, from deep technical problem‑solving to supporting and mentoring less‑experienced engineers and technicians.
Our Foxton team plays a critical role in developing and building high‑precision photonics and motion control technologies used in life sciences, medical imaging, robotics, and advanced manufacturing. The products you help test and validate have a genuine impact in the real world.
We are a collaborative, supportive, and low‑ego engineering community. You’ll work closely with experts across disciplines, with the autonomy to improve how we test, validate, and release products to customers — and the encouragement to explore new tools, technologies, and ideas.
Novanta invests heavily in learning and development. Whether you're expanding your automation skills, learning new technologies, or stepping toward future technical or leadership roles, you’ll find the resources and mentorship to grow your career.
We take pride in building a culture grounded in trust, humility, continuous improvement, and teamwork. You’ll feel part of something from day one.
If you want to be part of a team that values impact, precision, creativity, and continuous learning — Novanta is the place for you.
Apply today and help us create technology with the power to transform the world. Reach out to Rebecca Pelham to find out more about this role of Manufacturing Test Engineer.
