* Make improvements to current operations to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
* Develop processes and methods to meet manufacturing requirements with a focus on quality and cost-effectiveness.
* Collaborate with the New Product Introduction (NPI) team on new projects.
* Support the development of documentation to enhance process control.
* Ensure all engineering processes are controlled by the quality management system.
* Conduct ongoing research into emerging manufacturing and production technologies to support current and future strategies.
* Present and communicate at all levels, including with customers where appropriate.
Skills and Experience Required:
* Proficient in CAD/CAM software for generating 3D models and CNC programmes (GibbsCAM preferred).
* Experienced in machine tool and cutting tool specification and application.
* Ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
* Previous experience using SOLIDWORKS.
* Knowledge of precision engineering processes including milling and turning.
* Understanding of aerospace requirements, particularly operating to AS9100 standards.
* Experience working to schedules and planning workloads effectively.
* Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to implement solutions quickly.
* Excellent communication skills across all levels and an ability to engage stakeholders.
* Project management experience and a proactive, results-oriented attitude.
Qualifications:
