Job description

At Circuitwise Electronics, we manufacture electronics for customers in MedTech, Aerospace and Defence. For more than 35 years, we’ve earned their trust through careful work, honest relationships and a shared commitment to getting things right. The products we manufacture change lives.

There’s plenty happening at our Norwest Business Park head office. New clients bring fresh ideas, and their projects give us a close look at remarkable technology. We’re investing in our people and equipment while Circuitwise Group grows through acquisitions across Australia and New Zealand. You’ll have the support of a broader group and the familiarity of a close local team.

We’re a hands‑on team that works together to solve problems, improve how we do things and deliver for our customers. We’re proud of the people we work alongside, the customers who trust us and the products we help bring to life.

We’re looking for an experienced Production Engineer who likes to be in the action. You’ll bring your electronics manufacturing experience to the production floor, working alongside our team to solve problems, improve processes and keep things moving.

About You

This isn’t a desk‑based engineering role. You’ll be visible across production, working alongside operators, team leaders, Quality and Engineering to identify problems, investigate root causes and put practical solutions in place.

You’ll be someone who:

• Is naturally hands‑on, proactive and comfortable working on the production floor
• Responds quickly when production is interrupted and enjoys solving problems as they arise
• Uses structured problem‑solving to get to the root cause, rather than relying on temporary fixes
• Works closely with operators and enjoys sharing technical knowledge
• Looks for opportunities to improve quality, efficiency, first‑pass yield and output
• Is comfortable supporting prototype, first‑off and early production builds
• Can balance immediate production priorities with longer‑term process improvement

Above all, you’ll bring strong technical experience, practical judgement and a genuine commitment to helping the production team succeed.

Tasks & Responsibilities

You’ll use your experience to support reliable production, solve technical problems and continually improve the way we manufacture.

Key responsibilities include:

• Provide practical engineering support across production, resolving technical, process and quality issues to keep manufacturing moving.
• Develop, validate and maintain manufacturing processes, machine programs, process profiles, tooling and production documentation.
• Support new product introduction (NPI), prototype, first‑off and early production builds, helping establish reliable and repeatable manufacturing processes.
• Investigate manufacturing and quality issues using structured problem‑solving and root cause analysis, implementing effective and lasting solutions.
• Work closely with Production, Engineering and Quality to implement engineering changes and improve manufacturing outcomes.
• Drive improvements in quality, first‑pass yield, process capability, efficiency and production output.
• Work alongside operators to provide technical guidance, training and knowledge sharing.
• Apply design‑for‑manufacture principles to identify opportunities to improve product design, tooling, testing and assembly processes.

Qualifications & Experience

• A tertiary qualification in Engineering such as Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering etc. or a related discipline.
• Minimum 5+ years’ experience in similar Production / Manufacturing Engineering role
• Understanding of IPC‑610/ IPC‑620 and J-STD‑001 preferred
• Effective collaboration and team building skills
• Strong problem solving and analytical skills
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to multi‑task and prioritise goals
• Excellent communication (written and verbal), negotiation and interpersonal skills
• Flexibility and the ability to adapt to change
• Excellent attention to detail, risk analysis skills
• Intermediate to Advanced skills in Microsoft Office Suite, including Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint
