Production Engineer
This role will act as the key point of contact between design, manufacturing and quality, ensuring effective communication, problem resolution and alignment across all areas of the business. You will support both electronic and mechanical challenges while influencing New Product Introduction from concept through to production.
Based in a modern North London facility, the company offers an excellent working environment and strong infrastructure for developing advanced, cross-functional technologies. Due to continued growth and increasing project activity, they are looking to appoint a Production Engineer to join their established engineering team.
This is a varied, hands-on role within the production environment, supporting both mechanical and electronic assemblies while working closely with design, quality and manufacturing. You will play a key part in ensuring products are built to the correct quality standards, problems are diagnosed effectively, and production processes are continuously improved.
A core part of the role is the ability to fault-find down to component level, identifying whether issues are mechanical, electrical or supplier-related, and resolving them efficiently. Alongside this, you will be expected to set up and improve production processes, applying lean manufacturing principles to reduce waste, improve flow, and increase overall efficiency.
On a day-to-day basis, you will support shop floor activities, assist with functional testing and failure analysis, and maintain clear and effective work instructions, operating procedures and test specifications. You will also contribute to New Product Introduction activities, reviewing designs, identifying tooling or process requirements, and ensuring products transition smoothly into manufacture.
The environment includes PCB-based products, cable assemblies and full box builds, so prior experience within a high-tech or electronics manufacturing setting is important.
The ideal candidate will have:
HNC/HND level qualification in Electronic or Mechanical Engineering
Hands-on experience in fault-finding to component level within electro-mechanical systems
Experience working within a high-tech or electronics manufacturing environment
Understanding of lean manufacturing and the ability to improve processes and reduce waste
A practical, problem-solving approach with confidence working across multiple disciplines
