Electronics Engineer – Production Engineering A high-technology engineering business is building a new Production Engineering capability within its R&D function and is looking for an experienced Electronics Engineer to play a key role in that transition. This is a hands-on role focused on taking complex electronic products from development into robust, scalable manufacturing. The Role You will take ownership of all electronic and electrical aspects required to deliver a repeatable, compliant manufacturing and test capability. This includes assembly, calibration, test strategy, repair, and continuous improvement across production. You will operate at the interface between R&D and manufacturing, ensuring products are fully ready for build, test, and scale. Key Responsibilities New Product Introduction • Support transfer of products from R&D into manufacturing, • Define and control BOMs within ERP systems, • Ensure designs are suitable for production through DFM and DFT reviews, • Lead electronics workstreams within NPI projects, • Define and implement production test strategies, • Develop test fixtures, jigs, and automated test equipment, • Optimise PCB assembly, cable harnessing, and system integration, • Support calibration and configuration processes, • Improve manufacturing efficiency, yield, and test coverage, • Support cost reduction through design and process refinement, • Troubleshoot electronic and system-level faults, • Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions, • Produce build, test, and calibration documentation, • Act as the electronics interface across R&D, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain, • Degree or equivalent in Electrical or Electronic Engineering, • Background in electronics production or manufacturing engineering, • Strong understanding of PCB assembly and electronic integration, • Experience with production test methods and fault finding, • Familiarity with standards such as ISO9001, AS9100, IPC610, ESD, • Experience developing test fixtures or verification processes, • NPI experience from prototype to volume manufacture, • Knowledge of DFM, DFT, and lean manufacturing, • Experience with calibration systems and measurement equipment, • Exposure to scripting or automation for test environments, • Practical and hands-on, • Strong problem-solving and root cause capability, • Clear communicator across engineering and production teams, • Detail-focused with a drive to improve processes and quality, • Opportunity to shape a new Production Engineering function, • Exposure to advanced electronic product development, • A role bridging R&D and manufacturing
