We have received your query dated 10/04/2022, we apologize for the belated reply, this was due to the Ramadan break, our response is as follows:
We applaud you for your concern with regards to your income , May Allah Ta’ala increase us all in goodness.
According to our research, a test engineer is one who thoroughly checks materials, procedures and mechanical or electrical systems to ensure that customers get high-quality, functional products. They run tests on various components and features in order to identify and fix technical issues. Experienced Test Engineers might also be responsible for training and managing junior team members.[1]
It will be permissible to work as a test engineer for a bank due to one not directly assisting the bank in its Haraam activities. [2]
And Allah Ta’ala knows best
