- Collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.
- Engage with customers to communicate changes and ensure alignment.
- Apply lean and continuous improvement principles to maximise efficiency.
- Manage risks associated with design changes to protect product integrity.
- Ensure compliance with industry standards and safety regulations.
What We're Looking For
- Degree in Electronics or related engineering discipline (or equivalent experience).
- Proven industry experience in electronics design, manufacturing, or cost optimisation.
- Strong understanding of electronic systems, components, and manufacturing processes.
- Experience with design-for-cost principles and value engineering.
- Proficiency with CAD tools, simulation software, and engineering platforms.
- Excellent communication skills - able to present technical and cost strategies clearly.
- Creative, analytical thinker with a track record of innovative problem-solving.
- Experience in highly regulated industries (aerospace, automotive, defence, etc.) is highly desirable.
