I’m working with a well-established gas detection and sensing business based in Cambridge to hire a NPI Engineer, a new position working across a number of engineering teams. They design and manufacture their products on-site and supply both directly and as an OEM into safety-critical environments (think emergency services, industrial safety, hazardous environments). The company is around 100 people, with a strong and growing R&D function (~20 engineers) spanning electronics, mechanical, firmware, software, UX and project engineering. They’ve had a very strong year and are investing further in new product development. They’re now looking to bring in an NPI Engineer to strengthen the bridge between R&D and production. The role This is a hands-on NPI role with real ownership. You’ll be responsible for taking new products from late-stage development through to production, improving how designs translate into build, test and manufacture. There’s a new product currently being scoped that this person will own end to end. You’ll work closely with R&D engineers, manufacturing, quality and supply chain, helping move the organisation towards stronger, more repeatable product introduction. This is very much an on-site role (5 days a week) – the value here is being close to the engineers, the production line and the product. What they’re looking for • Experience as an NPI / Manufacturing / Production Engineer in a physical product environment, • Strong understanding of bringing products into manufacture, not just designing them, • Comfortable working on-site, solving real production issues with engineers and operators, • Good communicator – collaboration and soft skills matter here, • Experience with sensors, instrumentation or regulated products is a big plus (but not essential)Gas sensing experience isn’t required, but if you’ve worked with sensors or safety-critical hardware before, that will definitely help. What matters to them They care a lot about values and attitude. People who do well here are practical, collaborative and take ownership. Someone who’s done production on-site before and enjoys that environment will stand out. They’re supportive of development – if you’re strong today but want to grow further, they’ll invest in training and progression. They’re hiring as soon as possible, but they won’t rush a decision for the wrong person. Interview process • Stage 1: 30-minute Teams call with the hiring manager (experience and fit), • Stage 2: On-site interview (2–2.5 hours), including:, • Short presentation (10 mins), • Technical discussion with the team, • Tour of the facilities, • Time with HRSalary & practicalities, • Salary: up to £55,000 (some flexibility for an exceptional fit), • Location: Cambridge area (on-site), • Sponsorship: not available, • Benefits to include early finish on Friday, annual bonus, private medical and many more that we discuss on a callIf you’re an NPI engineer who enjoys being close to product, people and production – and wants real ownership rather than paperwork – this is a good one to look at.

You’ll be close to hardware from day one: building fixtures, running tests, breaking parts, analysing failures, and feeding clear evidence back into design. The environment is collaborative and practical. Mechanical design, electronics, systems, and manufacturing work closely together, and this role sits right across that interface. You’ll be on site, in the lab and workshop, validating designs throughout the development lifecycle. What you’ll be working on • Planning and running mechanical verification against real product requirements, • Reviewing designs, drawings, tolerances, materials, and assemblies to identify risk, • Turning requirements into practical test strategies and test plans, • Executing mechanical testing including shock, vibration, drop, thermal, ingress protection, and durability, • Running structural, fatigue, wear, and lifecycle testing, • Designing and building mechanical test fixtures, jigs, and rigs, • Assembling prototypes and preparing test samples, • Analysing failures, identifying root cause, and providing clear, data-led feedback to design, • Writing concise verification reports with clear pass/fail outcomes, • Supporting rapid design changes with fast test–feedback loops, • Working with external test houses where specialist or accredited testing is required, • Improving verification methods, equipment, and processes as products evolve What they’re looking for • Hands-on experience in mechanical verification or validation, • Strong grounding in mechanical design fundamentals, materials, tolerances, and manufacturing processes, • Experience running mechanical tests in practice, not just defining them, • Comfortable using measurement tools such as callipers, micrometers, gauges, and torque tools, • Happy working in a lab or workshop environment building and modifying test setups, • Able to analyse failures and challenge designs using evidence, • Capable of writing clear, usable test plans and reports, • Mechanical engineering qualification or equivalent practical experience

Socode are proud to support a key client who are looking to appoint a Test Equipment Engineering Team Lead to take ownership of manufacturing test. This is a genuinely hands-on technical leadership role. You’ll be leading a small, highly capable team, understanding how products behave on the line, validating build quality, and making sure test systems are doing what they should in the real world. This is not a role for someone who wants to step away from engineering. The business operates an end-to-end, largely in-house model. Hardware, software, manufacturing, and test all sit under one roof, which means this role sits right at the centre of the product lifecycle. It’s five days a week on site, working closely multi-disciplinary teams. What will you actually be working on? • Leading a team of five test equipment engineers, spanning engineer through to senior and principal level, • Acting as the technical authority for manufacturing test systems, not just managing workloads, • Designing, developing, and supporting automated test equipment used in high-volume production, • Staying hands-on with both hardware and software test, including ATE written in C#, • Supporting systems that execute hundreds of thousands of test operations reliably and repeatably, • Working with RF, audio, DMM, and signal-switching test paths in a manufacturing environment, • Validating that products are built correctly and robustly, not simply that they pass a design-level test, • Bridging gaps between design, test, and manufacturing, challenging assumptions where needed, • Supporting new product introductions, pilot builds, and production ramp-ups, • Maintaining and improving existing test systems, • Providing day-to-day technical leadership and mentoring to a collaborative, well-gelled team What they’re looking for • A hands-on technical lead, not a career manager, • Strong experience in manufacturing test rather than pure product design, • A solid background in automated test equipment development and deployment, • Experience working in high-volume manufacturing environments, • Either a hardware or software background, with a cross-functional mindset, • Comfortable working close to the tools, the data, and the team, • Someone with the technical credibility to validate build quality and challenge test coverage, • An engineer who enjoys solving real production problems, not just theoretical ones
