NPI Engineer
If you've delivered new products into manufacture and know your way around both a production line and a project plan - this could be a great next step.
I'm working with an established but growing technology business just outside Cambridge who are looking for an experienced NPI Engineer to join their team. It's a varied, hands-on role where you'll take ownership of the full NPI process - from early concept through to volume manufacture.
You'll work across projects for electro-mechanical products, managing prototype builds, refining production processes, and ensuring new products are introduced smoothly with contract manufacturers and internal teams.
What you'll be doing:
* Leading NPI activities across mechanical, electronic and assembly processes
* Supporting design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) from the start
* Managing builds, troubleshooting issues, and working with contract manufacturers to scale up
* Driving improvements in yield, quality, and cost
* Making sure the wider business (including service, customisation, stores) is ready for launch
What you'll bring:
* Proven experience in NPI / manufacturing / process engineering across electro-mechanical product manufacturing
* Practiced in working on projects with specific timeframes
* Strong understanding of electro-mechanical assembly (inc. SMT) and working with electronics factories
* Comfortable working closely with contract manufacturers
* Hands-on, structured, and commercially aware
* Familiar with PLM systems (Agile ideally), DFM, and data analysis
There is some UK and overseas travel involved (expenses covered), so a full UK driving licence is needed.
What can you expect in return:
* Salary of £45,000 - £55,000, dependent on experience
* Flexible working hours
* Pension, dental care and healthcare
* Support of staff wellbeing
* Discounted gym membership
* Subsidised Hub on site restaurant
* Large, free car parking on site and electric car charging points
* Social events and activities
