Manufacturing Product Engineer

We're looking for a Manufacturing Product Engineer to bridge the gap between product design and successful manufacture. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys getting close to the product, understanding how it works, identifying where things can go wrong, and solving problems before they reach the production line.

If you're the kind of engineer who would rather pick up the tools, investigate the issue yourself and get to the root cause than simply escalate it, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

As Product Engineer, you'll take ownership of the technical readiness of customer products as they move into batch and volume manufacture.

Working alongside Manufacturing Process Engineers, Quality, Supply Chain, customers and specialist design engineers, you'll ensure products are fully understood, manufacturable, testable and ready for production.

You'll:

• Lead product readiness activities for new customer introductions
• Build, test and investigate products and assemblies to fully understand their operation and potential failure modes
• Interpret and challenge electrical schematics, wiring information, mechanical drawings and technical specifications
• Diagnose and resolve electro-mechanical product issues through practical investigation and structured problem solving
• Manage product configuration, bills of materials, engineering changes and technical records
• Support operators, supervisors, suppliers and customers with technical product expertise
• Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for non-conformances and recurring product failures
• Contribute to Design for Manufacture reviews, helping improve product quality, assembly efficiency and reliability
• Work closely with stakeholders across Engineering and Operations to support successful customer deliveries

What you’ll bring

We're interested in engineers who combine strong technical knowledge with a practical, hands-on approach.

You'll likely have experience in an electro-mechanical, electrical or manufacturing engineering environment and be confident getting involved directly in building, testing and troubleshooting products.

You'll bring:

• An engineering degree, HNC, HND, apprenticeship or equivalent practical experience
• Strong experience building, testing and fault-finding electro-mechanical products
• The ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and engineering drawings
• Experience managing BOMs, configuration control and engineering change processes
• A structured approach to technical investigation and problem solving
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with customers and cross-functional teams

Experience supporting products through transfer into batch or volume manufacture would be highly advantageous.
