The Production Engineer is responsible for developing, maintaining, and optimising manufacturing processes within an electronics production environment. The role ensures that production activities are efficient, repeatable, and aligned with quality standards. A key focus is placed on process documentation, standardisation, and continuous improvement through Lean Manufacturing methodologies. The engineer will also support the introduction of new products and process changes, collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive operational excellence.
Key Responsibilities
Support and improve manufacturing processes and develop and optimise manufacturing processes to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure product quality. Create and maintain comprehensive documentation including process flows, standard operating procedures, work instructions, and control plans. Conduct time and motion studies and implement changes to streamline workflow and reduce non-value-added activities.

Evaluate existing production lines and propose enhancements in layout, tooling, and automation to improve throughput and ergonomics. Collaborate with design, quality, and production teams during New Product Introduction (NPI) to ensure smooth process handover and manufacturability. Support and lead process validation activities including PFMEA, capability studies, and first article inspections. Identify, investigate, and resolve process-related issues that impact yield, quality, or efficiency. Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for processes and use data to support decision-making and improvement projects. Ensure that all process changes are properly documented, validated, and communicated to relevant stakeholders. Support the training of production staff in new processes or updated work instructions. Maintain compliance with health and safety regulations and industry standards (e.g. ISO 9001, IPC).
