Electronics Engineer
South Wales
£32,000 - £38,000 + substantial pension, bonus, medical, benefits package
Yolk Engineering is exclusively managing a new opportunity with a growing advanced manufacturing business known for its next generation products, innovation in manufacturing and the employer of choice for any passionate Engineer.
This is a high potential career opportunity working with cutting edge technologies in a future proof field. Not your typical Elecronics Engineer role, this is an exciting new role in a growing team that combines NPI, project management, design-level product knowledge and hands-on bench skills. It'll give you an end to end view of the product lifecycle and the opportunity to develop your expertise and career in a supportive and collaborative environment.
You'll need strong electrical/electronic knowledge and will have an understanding of how a product is manufactured. A familiarity with software is advantageous, as is exposure to project management, either through leading projects yourself or exposure to PM tools and processes. You'll need to be comfortable on the bench, analytically, and working with others.
What you'll be doing
* Leading and coordinating new product introductions - chairing meetings, planning timelines, managing actions and acting as the technical lead from concept to manufacture.
* Taking ownership of product-related issues - fault-finding down to component level, carrying out root cause analysis, and implementing robust countermeasures.
* Working closely with design authorities to support product improvements and guide design-for-manufacture decisions.
* Providing day-to-day technical support, becoming the go-to expert for your allocated product or technology.
* Getting involved in everything from installing new equipment and mentoring apprentices, to educating others in your specialist area and identifying ways to improve process and quality. Depending on business needs and your own abilities the split of work can vary, at times more focused on NPI, at others on real engineering problem-solving. There's structure in working to strong process frameworks but once fully embedded in your role you'll be in control of your day, trusted to direct your own activities to support your department and company's objectives.
What we're looking for
* A background in electrical or electronic engineering - either through education or strong hands-on experience.
* Practical bench skills, including diagnostic and fault-finding experience.
* An understanding of project management principles - including planning, coordination, and communicating across departments.
* Someone who works well with others but also thrives with independence and freedom to make decisions.
* Comfortable dealing with people at all levels and confident presenting.
* Knowledge of Six Sigma / Lean methodologies is advantageous.
* Familiarity with structured problem-solving techniques (e.g. 8D, DMAIC, KT) is advantageous.
* An interest in next-gen electronics, embedded tech or AI - a natural curiosity and passion for learning.
And this is what you'll get in return
* Salary depending on experience
* Substantial company pension
* Private healthcare
* Annual company bonus
* 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays
* Significant training resources and time given for development
* Proven progression opportunities
