Job Description

An established technology business is seeking a Production Engineering Lead to support the build and delivery of complex hardware systems within a production environment.

This is a confidential appointment within a growing engineering‑led organisation operating in the industrial and embedded hardware space.

Role overview

The Production Engineering Lead will act as a key technical support function within production, working closely with engineering, configuration and quality teams to ensure products are built, tested and released efficiently and consistently.

This is a hands‑on role suited to someone who enjoys being close to production activity and taking ownership of technical issues that arise during build and test.

Responsibilities

  * Provide hands‑on technical support across production activities

  * Troubleshoot hardware, system and integration issues during build and test

  * Support first‑article, prototype and pre‑production builds

  * Improve and maintain build processes, work instructions and documentation

  * Support configuration and change activity to maintain build accuracy

  * Act as a technical escalation point for production‑related issues

  * Work collaboratively with engineering, quality and operations teams

Candidate profile

  * Background in production engineering, manufacturing engineering, systems integration or NPI

  * Experience working with complex hardware systems in a production environment

  * Comfortable operating in a hands‑on, shop‑floor‑focused role

  * Proven ability to diagnose and resolve build and integration issues

  * Experience supporting new product or first‑article builds

  * Practical, detail‑focused and solutions‑driven approach

Experience within industrial, embedded or custom hardware environments is advantageous, but company‑specific experience is not essential.

Why consider this role

  * Technically varied position with genuine ownership

  * Opportunity to influence how products are built and delivered

  * Hands‑on engineering role rather than purely desk‑based work

  * Long‑term opportunity within a stable, growing business

Further details about the organisation will be shared during the interview process.
