This key role will provide hands-on engineering support across manufacturing processes, helping to resolve production issues while driving improvements in quality, productivity, yield and overall manufacturing capability. Based at a state-of-the-art manufacturing and engineering facility, you will have the opportunity to see products progress through the manufacturing journey, working alongside experienced Engineering, Production, Quality and R&D teams. You will gain genuine exposure to specialist manufacturing processes and contribute to product and process improvements. You will be responsible for supporting day-to-day manufacturing engineering activities, diagnosing product and process issues and implementing sustainable solutions. You will drive continuous improvement across yield, productivity, quality and scrap reduction, while supporting NPI, NVI and engineering change projects. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Manufacturing Technician looking to take the next step into a Manufacturing Engineering role, or an established Manufacturing Engineer looking for a new challenge within a technically advanced environment. You will work on technically challenging products, gain exposure to a wide range of manufacturing processes and have the opportunity to develop your skills and make a real impact on manufacturing performance. Requirements: • Minimum 3 years' experience in a Manufacturing Engineering role. • Experience working in a manufacturing support role, with a strong understanding of manufacturing processes. • Experience in product fault finding, troubleshooting and testing. • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify root causes and implement effective solutions. • Experience driving continuous improvement, yield improvements and scrap reduction. • Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma or similar methodologies would be advantageous. • Good IT skills, particularly Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint. • Degree qualified in an appropriate Engineering or Science discipline, or equivalent technical qualifications and experience. • Experience within high-tech manufacturing, particularly fibre lasers, fibre components or other industrial products, would be highly desirable
