Job description

Are you a Manufacturing Engineer who enjoys turning innovative electronic products into reliable, scalable production builds?

We’re working with a growing engineering business developing advanced electronic systems, and they’re looking for someone who can bridge the gap between design and manufacturing, helping prototype and low-volume products move smoothly into production.

This role would suit someone with strong electronics manufacturing experience who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys solving practical production challenges.

The Opportunity

You’ll work closely with engineering and production teams to support new product introduction (NPI), improve manufacturability, and help establish robust production processes for complex electronic products.

The position offers genuine scope to grow into a more dedicated NPI leadership role over time.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting the transition of products from prototype into production
• Working with design and manufacturing teams to improve manufacturability and build quality
• Developing production processes, build documentation, and work instructions
• Identifying and solving production and process issues
• Driving continuous improvement across manufacturing and assembly
• Helping scale low-volume products into repeatable production builds
• Supporting ongoing product and process optimisation

What We’re Looking For

• Experience as a Manufacturing Engineer, Production Engineer, or NPI Engineer
• Background in electronics manufacturing, assembly, or electromechanical products
• Experience supporting prototype, low-volume, or new product introduction environments
• Strong problem-solving skills and a hands-on approach
• Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering and production teams
• Comfortable working in evolving, development-focused environments

Nice to Have (Not Essential)

• Exposure to high-power electronics
• RF or communications technology experience
• Experience supporting products through scale-up into production

Why Join?

• Hybrid working flexibility
• Opportunity to influence manufacturing processes from an early stage
• Work on innovative electronic products and technologies
• Growing engineering team with strong future investment
