What We're Looking For You will ideally have: •Significant Manufacturing Engineering experience within a production environment. •Proven hands-on experience leading NPI and industrialisation from development/prototype through to stable production. •Strong experience developing and validating manufacturing processes, tooling, documentation and production controls. •Practical experience with build readiness, production trials, process prove-out, manufacturing release and ramp-up. •The ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, Bills of Materials and product requirements. •Strong root-cause analysis and complex problem-solving experience. •Experience planning and controlling engineering work, including schedules, milestones, resources, risks, issues and dependencies. •The ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and suppliers to deliver technical and business outcomes. •Excellent communication skills and the confidence to influence and constructively challenge stakeholders. •A structured, data-driven approach with strong planning and follow-through. •The ability to operate comfortably at both strategic and shop-floor levels. Qualifications & Technical Experience A Degree, HNC/HND, apprenticeship or equivalent significant experience in Engineering, Manufacturing, Electronics, Production or a related discipline is expected. Experience within one or more of the following environments would be advantageous: •Hybrid microelectronics •Advanced electronic assembly •Semiconductor •Aerospace •Defence •Other high-reliability manufacturing environments Knowledge of cleanroom operations, bonding, electronic test, high-precision assembly, special processes, ISO 9001, AS9100 and ERP/MRP systems would also be beneficial. Project Management, Lean or Six Sigma qualifications are desirable. Why Apply? This is an excellent opportunity for a senior manufacturing engineer to take genuine technical ownership of new product introduction and industrialisation projects, working across design, production, quality, test and supply chain while helping shape robust and scalable manufacturing processes.
