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.

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.
