- Assembling electronic sub-systems
- Assembling and aligning optical components
- Final Acceptance Testing (FAT) Test routines are bespoke to Refeyn, but clearly documented – training will be given.
- Producing equipment to detailed Work Instructions, assembly instructions and documented test routines.
Involvement at all stages of the wider operations and manufacturing processes, for example:
- To understand, design and implement lean manufacturing techniques to ensure the manufacture of both electronic and optical systems is well organised, straightforward to perform and provides an economical process.
- Work with bills of material, part procurement and stock holding to ensure forward planning and smooth running of the operations activities.
- Continuous improvement of operations facilities, tools and techniques. Having a continual focus on operations processes to increase productivity and reduce costs.
- Document protocols, in-process results, issues and potential improvements during operations activities. Archive of test results and tracking of key performance metrics.
