Location: Plymouth, Plymouth

Position Role Type: Onsite

At Collins Aerospace, precision and reliability guide everything we do. Our Plymouth site is a recognised centre of excellence for navigation and control systems, developing world-class innovations such as MEMS-based IMUs and TERPROM® terrain navigation systems.

We are seeking an Electronics Engineer with a detailed knowledge of analogue and digital electronics design and failure analysis, and production operations support, ideally gained in an aerospace or defence environment.

This role sits within the Silicon Sensing Systems Ltd business, a Joint Venture Business between Collins Aerospace and Sumitomo Precision Products Ltd of Japan.

The role will be based in Plymouth (5 days per week on site).

The role will be within a multi-functional team developing new products for the business. This role is tasked with supporting the production output, investigating and correcting any faults affecting delivered product, and providing specialist engineering support to production operations. This includes undertaking detailed investigations on production failures and customer returns and working with product design teams to ensure lessons learnt are reflected in the product design process.

What You Will Do:

You will conduct root cause investigations into production issues and customer returns, identify and implement corrective actions, and work closely with design teams to ensure lessons learned are built into future generations of our products. You'll contribute to change control and technical reviews, providing trusted technical input on product design, performance, and test system integration.

You will play a key role in maintaining product quality, reliability, and continuous improvement across our production lines. You'll provide specialist engineering expertise, drive failure and root cause analysis, and ensure lessons learned are embedded into future designs.

This role combines hands on technical problem solving with cross functional collaboration, supporting production, design, and supply chain teams to deliver world-class inertial and navigation systems. You'll play a key role in maintaining the technical integrity of production output including:

Day to day technical/production support to investigate and resolve product failures at all stages of assembly and test (real time problem solving).
