Product Test Engineer - Job Description
Since launching the world’s first portable wood-pellet pizza oven in 2012, Ooni has grown into an award-winning, multinational company with a product range loved by pizza makers all over the globe. Our mission has always been to design innovative products that spark joy in our customers, and whilst we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished so far - we’re only just getting started.
This is a hands-on, technical position where you’ll take ownership of product testing across the entire development lifecycle. From early concept exploration and prototype evaluation, through full verification and production readiness, you’ll be immersed in the detail of how our products are tested, validated, and continuously improved. You will be a key member of our New Product Development team, working closely with Mechanical and Design engineers testing products throughout verification — from concept, through development, to production and beyond. You will also carry out structured testing of competitor products to benchmark performances ensuring our products exceed category‑leading standards and identify strengths and weaknesses in the market.
This is an on-site role, working 5 days per week from our office in Broxburn, West Lothian.
And of course… eat a LOT of pizza.
This role is ideal for a technical, detail-oriented engineer who enjoys solving tough problems, thrives on testing and iteration, and brings a structured, methodical approach to documentation. You will excel in this role if you enjoy working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where ideas move quickly and the best idea wins — no matter where it comes from. A genuine passion for tackling challenging engineering problems is essential..
