Manufacturing Engineer

Manufacturing Engineer | Electronics & Electro-Mechanical Assembly | £45,000-50,000]
  
A UK manufacturer of high-reliability electronic assemblies is adding a Manufacturing Engineer to its team. Complex builds, small batch quantities, zero tolerance for field failure.
  
Day-to-day you will be

• Owning the build documentation. Routings, work instructions, method sheets, all of it current and all of it followed
• Specifying and commissioning shop floor equipment, fixtures and jigs, press fit tooling included
• Sitting in on design reviews and steering new products from prototype through to steady state build
• Running the investigation when something fails on the line, finding the actual cause, closing it out for good
• Picking off waste and variation through lean and OpEx projects
• Bringing on the technicians around you

You will need

• A background as a Manufacturing or Process Engineer on the shop floor, in electronics or electro-mechanical build
• Practical assembly knowledge: sheet metal, PCB integration, fasteners, thermal interface materials
• Working to IPC-A-610 Class 3 and J-STD-001, and able to solder to those standards yourself
• Tooling design experience, particularly press fit
• Comfortable in an ERP or MRP environment. SAP is the system here
• A structured approach to fault finding and corrective action
• Degree in an engineering subject, or HNC/HND, or time served with the results to back it up

  
Site-based with early finish on Fridays.
