- Knowledge of PFMEA, control plans, process flow diagrams and MSA
- Confident communicator able to provide technical direction
- Collaborative, hands-on and comfortable owning complex technical issues
- Eligibility for UK security clearance may be required
Role & Responsibilities
- Acting as a technical focal point for production, assembly and test issues
- Investigating product, process and hydraulic performance failures
- Applying structured root cause analysis to prevent recurrence
- Supporting non-conformance, PRB and MRB activity
- Developing assembly and test standards, procedures and documentation
- Analysing production data to improve quality, yield, cost and efficiency
- Working closely with production, quality, test, supply chain and engineering teams
Why Join?
A strong opportunity to support complex aerospace hydraulic components where precision, product integrity and engineering problem-solving are critical. The role offers hybrid working, flexi-time, 33 days’ annual leave, private medical, pension from 6%, life assurance, share options and excellent wider benefits.
