Lead Manufacturing Engineer
This key role will lead a team of engineers and technicians, providing hands-on engineering support while driving improvements across manufacturing processes, quality, productivity and overall manufacturing capability.
Based at a state-of-the-art manufacturing and engineering facility, you will have the opportunity to see products progress through the complete manufacturing journey, from initial assembly and specialist processes through to testing and final production. Working alongside experienced Engineering, Production, Quality and R&D teams, you will gain genuine visibility of the full product lifecycle.
The role is approximately 50/50 between manufacturing and a highly controlled cleanroom environment. You will need to be comfortable working in controlled environments, following strict procedures and wearing the required PPE.
