Responsibilities
- Supporting the commissioning and industrialisation of new CNC machining and waterjet cutting equipment.
- Developing and implementing robust manufacturing processes for new and existing products.
- Creating and maintaining manufacturing documentation including work instructions, standard operating procedures, and process flows.
- Leading Process FMEAs and risk assessments to ensure safe and capable manufacturing processes.
- Defining tooling, fixturing, and workholding solutions to optimise machining performance and repeatability.
- Supporting equipment start-up activities, process validation, and operator training.
- Driving continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, productivity, cycle time reduction, and waste elimination.
- Investigating manufacturing issues, conducting root cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions.
- Supporting New Product Introduction activities to ensure products are manufacturable and production-ready.
- Collaborating with Quality, Production, Design Engineering, and Supply Chain teams to support successful project delivery.
- Monitoring process performance and identifying opportunities for automation, efficiency improvements, and cost reduction.
Qualifications
- A Degree, HNC/HND, or equivalent qualification in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
- A strong understanding of CNC machining processes, ideally including large-format 3-axis and 5-axis machining centres.
- Experience supporting machine commissioning, process validation, and production ramp-up activities.
- Knowledge of Fanuc-controlled machining centres would be highly advantageous.
- Experience working with aluminium components and precision manufacturing processes.
- Familiarity with waterjet cutting processes would be beneficial.
- Experience conducting PFMEA activities and developing manufacturing documentation.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with experience of root cause analysis and continuous improvement methodologies.
