iO Associates & PRG Consulting are supporting a well-funded advanced engineering OEM on an urgent manufacturing-engineering requirement.

The team is looking for hands-on Manufacturing Engineers to support a focused hardware work package involving complex precision electro-mechanical parts. This is a short, high-impact assignment for people comfortable working close to the build, solving practical production issues and improving how complex hardware is manufactured at pace.

You will be:

• Supporting the manufacturing and assembly of complex precision electro-mechanical hardware.
• Resolving day-to-day build, process and quality issues directly with production, design and shop-floor teams.
• Creating and improving work instructions, manufacturing processes, tooling requirements and build documentation.
• Driving practical improvements to build quality, repeatability, flow and manufacturability.
• Supporting fast-turn process changes as the hardware and production approach mature.
• Keeping track of progress, updating internal documentation and improving processes as the work package develops.

You should have:

• Proven Manufacturing Engineering experience within aerospace, automotive, robotics, advanced manufacturing or a similar complex hardware environment.
• Experience supporting precision mechanical or electro-mechanical assemblies, ideally involving complex parts, high mix / low volume builds or NPI activity.
• Strong practical understanding of assembly methods, tooling, work instructions, tolerancing and design-for-manufacture principles.
• Working knowledge of Dassault Systmes 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) is essential.
• A practical, on-site mindset and availability to start from 31st August or 7th September.

This is a streamlined one-stage process, with full programme detail shared following an initial conversation and NDA following that.
