Production Engineer
Production Engineer
Bridge engineering and production, bringing complex electronic products smoothly from design into manufacture.
This is a Production Engineer role with an established manufacturer of high-tech electronic communication products.
As a Production Engineer you will bridge the gap between the engineering and production teams, making sure complex electronic products are introduced into manufacture smoothly and run efficiently once there, for an established manufacturer of mission-critical communications equipment for the aviation and defence sectors. You will lead new product introduction into production, design and refine production test systems, and drive the initiatives that improve manufacturing processes and efficiency. Working closely with Product Engineering, Production and Supply Chain, as well as manufacturing sub-contractors, you will keep manufacturing and test processes aligned and continually improving. If you are a Production Engineer who enjoys making complex products manufacturable and keeping production running at its best, this is a role with real variety.
