It s an opportunity for someone who enjoys practical fault-finding, takes ownership of problems and wants to see the direct impact of their work.

The role

Reporting to the Engineering Manager, your responsibilities will include:

• Providing first-line engineering support for electronic and electromechanical assembly and testing.
• Diagnosing faults at the bench, resolving production issues and escalating problems that require design changes.
• Creating and maintaining assembly instructions, test procedures and other production documentation.
• Designing, building and maintaining test jigs, wiring harnesses and test equipment.

• The ability to interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings and bills of materials.
• Practical experience with soldering, rework and wiring harness assembly.
• Confidence using oscilloscopes, multimeters and bench power supplies.
• Experience producing clear technical documentation and maintaining it under version control.
• A structured approach to problem-solving and root cause analysis.

Useful additional experience

Experience with new product introduction, test fixture design, engineering change control, ERP/MRP systems or lean manufacturing would be beneficial. Familiarity with IPC workmanship standards, ESD controls, basic CAD and interfaces such as RS232, RS485, USB or Ethernet would also be useful.

Why apply?

You ll have ownership of the tools, documentation and processes that production relies on every day. Working closely with engineering, manufacturing and quality colleagues, you ll help improve the reliability of specialist hardware and shape how new products are built and tested.
