* Providing manufacturing decision-making information to aid:
o Reviewing production schedules; reviewing production labor and material costs; estimating future requirements.
o Preparing product and process reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing information and trends.
* Resolving routine and some complex product and/or production issues & constraints (relieving bottlenecks) on the shop floor, reacting efficiently to escalations from manufacturing teams.
* Improving manufacturing efficiency by participating in capacity analysis, simulation planning workflow, space requirements, and equipment layout.
* Creating and maintaining manufacturing documentation, which can include input to process-specific risk assessments, COSHH data, technical reports, and specifications.
* Creating and maintaining product and process methods; validation/verification of process capabilities; establishing standards; confirming manufacturing processes.

* Working with/participating with IPT functions (e.g., Engineering Design, Quality, Procurement) to ensure the ongoing integration of requirements and guiding other members of the team.
* Maintaining product and company reputation by complying with government regulations.
What we need from you:
* Degree in relevant engineering discipline or equivalent experience in the role.
* Excellent solid practical knowledge of manufacturing processes and principles.
* Ability to articulate and explain technical understanding.
* Good problem-solving skills, data analysis skills.
* Demonstrated achievement and delivery of own work packages within a single engineering discipline.
* Demonstrated experience in having own work peer-reviewed and implementing resulting actions.
* Demonstrated knowledge of more than one phase of the Product Life Cycle and the associated discipline processes.
* Demonstrated awareness of engineering decision-making and risk/reward trade-offs associated with project engineering activity.
* Knowledge of related engineering disciplines and levels of interaction required within a project.
It would be nice if you had:
* Experience implementing/using Lean Manufacturing principles and methodologies such as 5S and Value Stream Mapping.
* Experience with Lean 6 Sigma and/or formal qualification, i.e., Green/Black Belt.
* Experience working with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles.
* Experience reviewing mechanical component technical drawings.
* Extensive knowledge of metallic machining principles and technologies.
* Experience of working in an electronics environment.
