This position is no longer open for applications

We’re hiring a high-impact Product & Process Engineer to own end-to-end process performance and product/process robustness across a regulated medical device manufacturing environment. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who can move comfortably between shop-floor troubleshooting, structured problem-solving, and driving controlled change—improving yield, cycle time, capability, and compliance.

You’ll be a key technical partner to Production and Quality, using data and engineering fundamentals to implement sustainable improvements in a precision engineering / machining-led operation.

What you’ll be responsible for (scope & outcomes)

• Own process performance across production: identify constraints, stabilise processes, and drive measurable improvements in throughput, quality, scrap, downtime, and cycle time.
• Be the technical SME for manufacturing issues: lead troubleshooting on recurring defects, capability gaps, equipment/process variation, and build robust countermeasures.
• Product + process optimisation: collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to develop, design, trial, and validate new or improved processes aligned to product requirements.
• Lead controlled change using formal Change Control to plan, execute, and hand over changes with Production to ensure adoption and sustained performance.
• Data-led decision making: analyse performance trends  and translate insights into clear actions and priorities.
• Continuous improvement delivery: lead and support improvement projects using Lean / Six Sigma tools and solid project management.
• Work with external suppliers/vendors when required on tooling, fixtures, equipment modifications, process upgrades, and technical trials.
• Communicate clearly on the floor: simplify technical concepts for operators/technicians and ensure processes are understood, repeatable, and controlled.

What we’re looking for (must-haves)

• Medical device or other regulated manufacturing experience (GMP/ISO environment) with strong compliance mindset.
• 6+ years’ experience in Process Engineering / Manufacturing Engineering within precision engineering.
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or closely related discipline).
• Strong analytical capability: able to interpret data, spot trends, and implement effective countermeasures.
• Comfortable working independently, owning priorities, and driving work through to completion.
• Proven ability to collaborate with Production, Quality, Engineering, and other stakeholders.
• SolidWorks (3D modelling) proficiency (required).

• Lean Six Sigma certification (or demonstrable CI project delivery).
• Experience with validation/regulated documentation (e.g., IQ/OQ/PQ, process validation approach).
• Exposure to tooling/fixture design, process capability studies, DOE, or automated inspection.
