Manufacturing Engineer

Location: Leicestershire

Employment: Permanent, full-time

Working pattern: Hybrid

A fast-growing engineering organisation is looking for a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to support the production of technically complex electromechanical products.

The successful candidate will bridge the gap between design engineering and production, taking ownership of developing efficient, repeatable manufacturing processes and supporting the transition of products from prototype through to scalable production.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to take the lead across all aspects of manufacturing and production building, implementing and truly owning the processes from the ground up. As the organisation continues to grow, there is also genuine potential to develop into a leadership role and build a production function around you.

Key Responsibilities

• Take products from prototype through to repeatable production
• Create SOPs, work instructions and build documentation
• Develop jigs, fixtures, production tooling and quality checks
• Improve workshop layouts, manufacturing processes and build times
• Resolve production issues and drive continuous improvement
• Support and train technicians on new processes and tooling

Experience Required

• Experience in Manufacturing, Production, Process or NPI Engineering
• Background in low-volume, complex manufacturing
• Experience introducing products into production
• Knowledge of DFMA, lean manufacturing and root-cause analysis
• Experience producing documentation and developing manufacturing tooling
• Comfortable working hands-on with workshop technicians

This is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of manufacturing processes and help bring technically advanced products into efficient, repeatable production.
