Have you worked in electronics manufacturing and enjoy taking a product from prototype to production? We’re recruiting an NPI Engineer for an electronics manufacturer in the Colchester area. You’ll work in a small cross‑functional team to introduce new products and variants into low-volume manufacturing.

This is a hands‑on role that combines first builds, electronics fault‑finding and production documentation. You’ll work with Engineering, Manufacturing, Procurement and Quality, liaising with customers as needed to make sure products meet requirements and can be built safely, cost‑effectively and on schedule.

What you’ll do as NPI Engineer

• Coordinate and support first builds, working with design and manufacturing teams to resolve build issues and make sure products are assembled as intended.
• Oversee the creation and maintenance of accurate bills of materials (BOMs) in the MRP system.
• Write clear assembly instructions and other build documentation for production handover.
• Review designs for manufacture (DFM) and work with colleagues to meet quality, cost and delivery targets.
• Identify and implement improvements to manufacturing processes and workflows.
• Provide practical technical support to other departments when build or manufacturing issues arise.

What you’ll bring

• Experience in electronics manufacturing and a good understanding of electronics assembly and production methods.
• Practical soldering and wiring skills, including rework and replacement of through‑hole and surface‑mount (SMT) components.
• The ability to read electronic schematics for fault‑finding and interpret engineering drawings and specifications.
• Experience producing clear build documentation and using Microsoft Office and ERP or MRP systems.
• An understanding of new product introduction and the product lifecycle, with the organisation and problem‑solving skills to coordinate work across teams.
• A degree, HNC or HND in a relevant engineering discipline, or equivalent industry experience.

Experience interpreting mechanical 3D models, using SolidWorks or working with Sage X3 would be an advantage.

• Option to buy and sell holiday
• Life assurance
• Health and wellbeing benefits, including an Employee Assistance Programme
• Training and further education opportunities
