MEMS Manufacturing Engineer

MEMS Manufacturing Engineer

Location: Manchester, UK (On-site)
Salary: Competitive

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a hands-on MEMS Manufacturing Engineer to join an innovative deep-tech company developing next-generation MEMS sensing technology.

This role will be instrumental in taking advanced MEMS devices from prototype development through to pilot-scale manufacturing. Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, you will develop assembly processes, optimise manufacturing workflows, improve yields, and support the transition from R&D into scalable production.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and assemble MEMS-based prototype devices and subsystems.
• Develop and optimise manufacturing and assembly processes.
• Perform and improve die attach, wire bonding, packaging and precision assembly activities.
• Design and implement tooling, fixtures, jigs and assembly aids.
• Troubleshoot manufacturing, reliability and yield issues.
• Drive Design for Manufacture (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA) improvements.
• Create manufacturing documentation, SOPs and work instructions.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) and manufacturing scale-up activities.
• Work with external manufacturing, foundry and packaging partners as production grows.

Requirements:

• Degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science or a related discipline.
• 3+ years' experience within semiconductor, MEMS, photonics or advanced technology manufacturing.
• Experience with semiconductor packaging, die attach, wire bonding or precision assembly processes.
• Strong process development and problem-solving skills.
• Experience developing manufacturing procedures and documentation.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on engineering environment.
• Cleanroom manufacturing environments.
• CAD design for fixtures and tooling.
• Reliability testing and failure analysis.
• Statistical Process Control (SPC).
• Wafer-level or advanced semiconductor packaging.
• Working with foundries, OSATs or contract manufacturers.
