Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Production Engineer to join our contract electronics manufacturing team in Adelaide. In this role, you will apply electrical and electronics engineering principles to ensure our complex electronic products and printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies meet the highest standards of quality, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

The typical job responsibilities will include, but are not limited to the following:

• Analyse operational data, production schedules and manufacturing capacity constraints to determine optimum equipment utilisation, workforce efficiency and production processes, minimising delays and ensuring confirmed lead times are achieved.
• Evaluate labour requirements and production workflows across electronics assembly and testing operations, developing work measurement standards and labour allocation strategies to improve manufacturing efficiency.
• Establish and implement manufacturing standards and procedures relating to quality control, equipment testing, workplace safety and IPC requirements, conducting plant inspections to ensure consistent operational performance.
• Analyse manufacturing processes and operational data to identify production bottlenecks, developing technical specifications for equipment modifications and manufacturing capabilities to improve productivity and operational efficiency.
• Plan and coordinate scheduled maintenance of production equipment and machinery, assessing equipment performance and coordinating engineering modifications, repairs and technical support to minimise production interruptions.
• Review organisational functions, production workflows and manufacturing procedures to identify operational inefficiencies and duplication of activities, recommending process improvements and providing technical guidance to production personnel.
• Investigate manufacturing defects, equipment-related issues and product quality failures in collaboration with relevant departments, applying engineering principles to develop corrective measures and improve quality control, testing and inspection procedures.

Applicants must meet the following minimum requirements to be considered for the role:

• At least a bachelors degree or higher in Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Formal certification in IPC-A-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies).
• At least 1 Year of relevant work experience in engineering, electronic manufacturing, or engineering technology environments, combining hands‑on manufacturing with broader system integration and technical engineering expertise required.
• Strong understanding of PCBA processes, including soldering, Through‑Hole & Surface Mount technologies, functional testing, and inspection methods required.
• High attention to detail and commitment to product quality and compliance.
• Strong familiarity with electronic testing instrumentation, troubleshooting methodologies, and quality management systems.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Strong verbal and written technical communication skills to collaborate effectively with engineering and production staff.
