London | Immediate Start | Overtime Available

We're looking for an experienced NPI Manufacturing Engineer to support the introduction of a new high-reliability product into production. This is a hands-on role focused on New Product Introduction (NPI), manufacturing process development and production support, ensuring products transition from design into manufacture with robust, efficient and repeatable processes.

Working closely with Design, Production and Quality teams, you'll develop and validate manufacturing processes, resolve production issues and drive continuous improvement throughout the NPI lifecycle.

The Role

Lead manufacturing process development and industrialisation activities for new products.
Support NPI projects from prototype through to production release.
Develop, validate and optimise manufacturing processes to improve quality, efficiency and repeatability.
Support prototype, first-off and qualification builds, ensuring production readiness.
Investigate production issues, conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
Produce manufacturing documentation including work instructions, validation plans, PFMEA input and risk assessments.
Work closely with Design Engineering to improve Design for Manufacture (DFM) and resolve manufacturability issues.
Validate manufacturing processes, production equipment and tooling prior to release.
Provide hands-on technical support to Production and Quality teams.
Identify and implement continuous improvement initiatives across manufacturing processes.

About You

You'll be degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering or a related engineering discipline (or possess equivalent industry experience) and have proven experience in an NPI, Manufacturing, Process or Industrialisation Engineering role within a manufacturing environment.

You'll also have:

Strong experience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) and manufacturing process development.
Experience validating manufacturing processes and supporting production ramp-up.
Excellent root cause analysis and problem-solving skills.
Experience working collaboratively with Production, Quality and Design teams.
Knowledge of FMEA, Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement methodologies.

Experience with adhesive bonding, moulding, brazing, pressure or leak testing, or introducing complex electromechanical products into manufacture, would be highly advantageous.

What's on Offer

6-month contract with an immediate start.

Opportunity to play a key role in delivering a critical NPI programme.

Overtime available during key project phases, including occasional evenings and weekends.

A varied, hands-on engineering role with a strong focus on manufacturing, industrialisation and continuous improvement.
