About Plexus & What We Build
When products need to perform flawlessly—whether inside a medical operating room or in aerospace applications—Plexus delivers. At our Bathgate Design Centre, Design Assurance is critical to our success. We ensure that every product we build is safe, compliant, robust, and verified against the highest industry standards before it ever reaches the market.
The Role
We are seeking a detail-oriented Design Assurance Intern for a summer placement. Design Assurance touches every single aspect of product engineering—software, hardware, and mechanical. In this role, you’ll gain a holistic overview of the entire engineering life cycle, learning how high-reliability products are tested, validated, and brought to market safely.
Key Responsibilities
Support verification and validation (V&V) testing activities across software, hardware, and mechanical subsystems.
Assist in developing test plans, writing test scripts/cases, and analyzing test results on physical product prototypes.
Work with multi-disciplinary design teams to review engineering documentation, conduct risk assessments, and ensure compliance with industry standards.
Investigate design defects, perform root-cause analysis, and recommend solutions alongside senior engineers.
What We’re Looking For
Students pursuing a degree in any engineering discipline (Systems, Mechanical, Electronic, Biomedical, or Software Engineering).
A keen eye for detail, strong problem-solving skills, and a methodical approach to evaluating how products work (and how they might fail).
An interest in the complete product engineering lifecycle, testing methodologies, and quality systems.
Your Rewards and Wellbeing
We believe in rewarding your contribution with a comprehensive package designed to support your life both inside and outside of work.
Growth: Bespoke development plans and volunteer time off
Health: Private medical insurance, Employee Assistance Program and vision care
Wealth: Enhanced pension contributions, life assurance, and group income protection
Lifestyle: Electric Vehicle and Cycle to Work schemes, plus 33 days of annual leave
