Rising Talent Recruitment is working exclusively with Dynamic EMS to source a capable and commercially aware Manufacturing Engineer to take ownership of process definition, new product introduction, and production optimisation across SMT, PCBA and higher-level assembly operations.
This is a hands-on, process-driven role where you will play a critical part in ensuring builds are robust, repeatable and production-ready from day one.
The Role
You will be responsible for the controlled introduction of new products into manufacturing and the ongoing optimisation of existing processes. Working with a high degree of autonomy, you will ensure documentation, process flow and production readiness are aligned to deliver quality and efficiency at scale.
Key Responsibilities
New Product Introduction (NPI)
Review customer documentation for manufacturability and completeness
Define routing, process flow and manufacturing strategy
Develop and validate work instructions and build documentation
Support DFM/DFT discussions internally and with customers
Coordinate first builds and drive improvement actions
Ensure structured and controlled transfer from NPI to full production
Production Process Ownership
Maintain and optimise SMT, PCBA and higher-level assembly processes
Monitor line balance, takt alignment and throughput
Analyse yield data and implement sustainable improvements
Support quality investigations from a process perspective
Ensure manufacturing documentation reflects current best practice
Documentation & Standardisation
Create and maintain clear, structured manufacturing instructions
Reduce operator variability through documentation standardisation
Align documentation with production training requirements
Process Validation & Risk Management
Contribute to Process FMEA activities
Define critical process parameters and control measures
Support validation builds for regulated or high-reliability products
Specify tooling, fixtures and jigs where required
Continuous Improvement
Lead efficiency and waste-reduction initiatives
Improve material flow and workstation layout
Reduce rework caused by process gaps
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience within electronics manufacturing (SMT / PCBA / HLA)
Strong background in NPI and process development
Experience creating and controlling manufacturing documentation
Solid understanding of yield improvement and process optimisation
Ability to operate autonomously while collaborating cross-functionally
Structured, analytical and commercially minded approach
If you are process-driven, commercially aware, and ready to take accountability for manufacturing excellence — we want to hear from you
Please note that all direct and speculative applications submitted will be forwarded to Rising Talent Recruitment for consideration
