Job Position: Prototyping and Test Engineer

Job Location: Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time

Overview

• We are seeking a Prototyping and Test Engineer to own the physical build loop, additive manufacturing operations, and environmental and functional testing of our hardware platforms.
• This role sits at the intersection of making and validating: it is the role that turns design concepts into testable objects in days, and that produces the verification evidence a defence or industrial buyer will require.
• Speed and rigour, in equal measure.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate on the operation and programming of additive manufacturing equipment to produce prototypes and production-representative parts
• Run the rapid iteration loop, taking designs from digital file to physical test article and feeding findings back into the design cycle
• Own the test and verification programme for each platform, developing test plans, executing tests, and producing test reports
• Develop and maintain environmental and qualification test protocols suited to maritime and defence operating requirements
• Identify design flaws through physical testing before they reach production, reducing cost and programme risk
• Work across the team to ensure prototyping priorities align with the product roadmap

Requirements

• Hands-on experience operating industrial additive manufacturing equipment, including FFF, SLS, or similar processes
• Practical hardware prototyping and fabrication background with a portfolio of physical products built and tested
• Experience developing and executing structured test programmes for mechanical, electronic, or integrated systems
• Systematic approach to documenting test results and translating findings into design recommendations
• Nigerian nationals strongly preferred

Preferred Background:

• Experience with maritime, defence, or safety-critical environmental qualification testing
• Familiarity with MIL-STD, IP ratings, or equivalent environmental standards
• Background in post-processing and finishing of additive manufactured parts for functional and aesthetic requirements.
