This role analyses workflows, designs and implements process improvements, and applies engineering principles to enhance manufacturing and business performance.

Below are some of the main responsibilities:

• Support new product introduction (NPI) by designing scalable and cost-effective manufacturing processes.
• Identify automation opportunities and develop robust capital investment justifications through ROI and cost–benefit analysis.
• Lead the implementation, validation, and optimisation of new equipment and associated manufacturing processes.
• Design, create, and optimise production line layouts to improve material flow, ergonomics, space utilisation and line balancing.
• Develop new and maintain existing Process Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (PFMEAs) and support Control Plan development.
• Support Health & Safety (H&S) risk assessments to ensure processes are safe, compliant, and effective.
• Develop and maintain Local Work Instructions (LWIs), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and related technical documentation for new and existing equipment.
• Collaborate with Production and NPI Engineers to generate and maintain Product Work Instructions (PWIs) and associated documentation for customer products.
• Provide technical support during production shifts, acting as an escalation point for process and equipment-related issues.
• Participate in external audits (e.g., NADCAP) and contribute to continuous improvement and compliance initiatives.
• Implement Process Change Notifications (PCNs) in alignment with customer requirements and internal change management procedures.

What you’ll need:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher-level qualification in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline.
• Formal training or working knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles.
• Knowledge of PFMEA, Control Plans, and process capability analysis (Cp/Cpk, Gage R&R).
• Proven experience in an Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) or Contract Electronics Manufacturing (CEM) environment.
• Experience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) and production ramp-up.
• Strong understanding of SMT, assembly, and box-build manufacturing processes.

Desirable:

• Six Sigma (Green Belt or above).
• IOSH or equivalent Health & Safety training.
• IPC certification or working knowledge of IPC standards.
• Project Management certification (e.g., PRINCE2, PMP).
