About the Role
Reporting to the Process Engineering Manager, you will work within the Operations department to support new product development projects from concept through to manufacturing.
As a Process Engineer, you will be responsible for the research, development, concept validation and implementation of manufacturing processes which will be fully scalable to meet future demand, providing technical expertise and direction to supporting teams during every stage of the project.
You will be expected to support and improve production capacity, productivity, and product quality, by providing engineering support to both the operations and cross functional engineering teams, identifying best practices for manufacture.
This is a very exciting new role for those who are passionate about manufacturing processes, and keen to be involved in development projects from start to finish!
About us
Advanced Electric Machines (AEM), part of the Advanced Electric Machines Group, was formed in November 2016 as a spin off from Newcastle University.
Fast forward to 2025, AEM has worked with industry partners, vehicle manufacturers (globally) and academics to develop the most sustainable & highest performing powertrain solutions for electric vehicles across various industries.
Our technology is changing the perception of electrification, and when applied, it leaves more rare earth & copper in the ground...where it belongs!
We are an ambitious, growing organisation, where the atmosphere is dynamic and ever changing. We have big plans and want to make a difference. Do you?
