5.
Coordinate with internal engineers, project managers, and quality personnel to ensure successful product delivery.
6.
Support client engagements from early-stage design through to scaled production.
7.
Ensure documentation, traceability, and compliance-particularly in regulated sectors such as aerospace or defence.

Skills & Experience:

8.
Strong understanding of electronics manufacturing, including SMT processes and mechanical assembly.
9.
Experience with the full product development lifecycle, ideally in low-to-mid volume environments.
10.
Comfortable managing supplier performance, manufacturing readiness, and design for manufacture.
11.
Capable of guiding clients through concept-to-production workflows.
12.
Familiarity with MOD or aerospace/space sector requirements (e.g., AS9100, ESA/ECSS standards) is a plus.
