Work with suppliers to deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to meet production targets.
Provide feedback to improve product design for manufacturability.
Manage small-scale roadmap projects, including planning, reporting, and stakeholder communication.
Document processes, trials, and improvements to ensure repeatability.
Essential Requirements:
Relevant engineering degree with 3+ years of experience or relevant formal qualifications (e.g., NVQ level 5) with 5+ years of experience.
Demonstrated ability to identify improvement opportunities, define them as viable projects, execute them efficiently, and implement stable solutions.
Capable of accurately diagnosing process issues, determining root causes, and applying effective corrective actions to ensure problems do not reoccur.
Ability to quickly understand technical issues, communicate them effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and produce clear, well-structured documentation.
Track record of leading small to medium impact projects.
Proficient in using a CAD package.
Ability to understand Geometric Tolerancing and Dimensioning.
Good understanding of manufacturing capability by process.
Great digital skills, including high computer literacy and familiarity with Office 365 and databases.
Beneficial Requirements:
Competent in manufacturing in at least one of our core processes: 3D metal printing, turning, milling, grinding, honing or assembly and test.
Experience or qualification in Lean or Six Sigma.
Previous success in developing robust manufacturing processes for volume production.
Understanding of all elements in setting up a new process, including requirements, specification, concept design, detailed design, FAT and SAT requirements, procurement, trials, installation, and integration into the production line.
