Job Description

Senior Process Designer

Wotton under Edge

Up to £48,000 depending on experience

Renishaw's Encoder Products Division (EPD) designs and supplies cutting-edge position feedback technology to the world's precision measurement, automation, and manufacturing industries. It is highly likely that something you own contains a part or device that was manufactured with the help of one of Renishaw's encoder products.

EPD is made up of engineers, scientists and technicians all working together to produce market leading products for sale around the world. We start with cutting edge optical, algorithm and circuit design, developing our own ASICs and sensors where required; we then use innovative mechanical engineering to turn our core technology into a range of desirable products for our broad customer base.

Working closely with colleagues in our manufacturing division, we develop manufacturing and assembly processes and software to deliver quality products by the hundreds of thousands that in turn, perform reliably and repeatedly to sub-micron accuracies for our customers.

The successful candidate will work on the design, manufacture, assembly and introduction of automated assembly systems for position encoders. Based at our New Mills site, within the Encoder Products Division's Process Design team, they will work within a multidisciplined team of engineers working on developing production systems for new products, validating and introducing them to initial production and working with Business As Usual functions in the business to transfer to full production. This position suits a dynamic individual who can combine bespoke engineering design with the use of tried-and-tested industrial equipment for the alignment, assembly and testing of high-precision parts at volume.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide technical support, development, and ownership of complex high precision assembly processes, ensuring a high-quality product is delivered to the customer on time
• Monitors process performance metrics such as first time pass rates, yields and scrap costs
• Carries out process trend analysis to identify activities
• Creates plans and proposals to prioritise and implement changes such as capacity uplift and rig/tooling Investigates the root causes and implements suitable corrective action for customer returns
• Defines and assesses preventative maintenance activities for suitability and improves practices where necessary
• Defines requirements to facilitate the transfer of assembly processes for new or upgraded products and validates manufacturing processes
• Works closely with Product Designers to ensure the product is designed for assembly
• Provide technical support to either low complexity product assembly processes or higher complexity processes alongside an engineer
• Carries out day to day support of cells (such as maintenance activities, equipment breakdowns, and quality defects)
• Ensures processes are documented according to good manufacturing practice | Maintains the quality (cost and pass rate) metric reporting for team analysis
• Conducts quality issue investigations on failed components and products (including customer returns) where required
• Manages calibration of low complexity equipment such as hand tools (where required)

Key requirements

• Degree or equivalent professional experience in mechanical engineering
• Practical experience developing automation, test, control or production equipment and machinery
• Experience integrating physical equipment such as sensors, vision systems, motion control systems or safety hardware
• 2+ years experience developing electromechanical systems for manufacturing and production
• Experience designing mechanical parts via CAD
• Ability to write clear requirements and technical documentation
• Ability to work effectively from incomplete or evolving requirements while maintaining focus on safety, quality, reliability and supportability
• Clear communication and effective collaboration across multidisciplinary engineering and production teams
