A fantastic opportunity has ariens for a Research/Manufacturing Engineer to join the team with our prestigious client at their site in Bristol, this is a hybrid role, 2 days per week on-site and 3 days at home ROLE PURPOSE: To complete technical engineering tasks in line with project requirements. This will be un-supervised in some complex and non-complex contexts. MAIN ACTIVITIES: Technical Complete literature surveys through the analysis of existing and state-of-the-art activities to make a qualitative assessment and justification for a recommended approach to the technical challenge. Prepare and examine how our engineering capability can be developed by explaining how this will meet future engineering needs. Complete tasks to support project requirements by applying and analysing mathematical and scientific theory and performing practical tasks to complete a range of technical activities in complex and non-routine circumstances. Assist and leads Graduate Research Engineers and Associate Research Engineers with theoretical applications. Apply and analyse innovative approaches to investigate, evaluate and develop technical solutions in basic and some complex contexts. This level of innovation may include concepts for a new generation of an existing system or process where limited existing knowledge exists. This is medium risk. Complete technical documents giving a comparative assessment of the technical activity. Contribute to project proposals by identifying technical activities for the statement of work. Customer Interaction Actively engage and present customers with informative updates on progress, successes and challenges until activity completion to enhance customer relationships. Pursue opportunities for multi-disciplined working (internally and externally) by pro actively working with others to achieve shared goals and better position NCC technical capabilities/deliverables. Openly share information to facilitate the accomplishment of broader objectives. Experience of a range of manufacturing process and be agile/adaptable to jump in where required rather than say just work on one project or just in aerospace – composites not essential but it would be helpful see projects/engineering through a quality lens – maybe was a quality engineer in the past (but broadened into a manufacturing engineer) good depth of understanding of creating/managing process documents PFMEAs and SOIs Lean/Six Sigma experience/qualification
