Job Description
Rising Talent Recruitment is working exclusively with Dynamic EMS to source a capable and commercially aware Manufacturing Engineer to take ownership of process definition, new product introduction, and production optimisation across SMT, PCBA and higher-level assembly operations.
This is a hands-on, process-driven role where you will play a critical part in ensuring builds are robust, repeatable and production-ready from day one.
The Role
You will be responsible for the controlled introduction of new products into manufacturing and the ongoing optimisation of existing processes. Working with a high degree of autonomy, you will ensure documentation, process flow and production readiness are aligned to deliver quality and efficiency at scale.
Key Responsibilities
New Product Introduction (NPI)
- Review customer documentation for manufacturability and completeness
- Define routing, process flow and manufacturing strategy
- Develop and validate work instructions and build documentation
- Support DFM/DFT discussions internally and with customers
- Coordinate first builds and drive improvement actions
- Ensure structured and controlled transfer from NPI to full production
Production Process Ownership
- Maintain and optimise SMT, PCBA and higher-level assembly processes
- Monitor line balance, takt alignment and throughput
- Analyse yield data and implement sustainable improvements
- Support quality investigations from a process perspective
- Ensure manufacturing documentation reflects current best practice
Documentation & Standardisation
- Create and maintain clear, structured manufacturing instructions
- Reduce operator variability through documentation standardisation
- Align documentation with production training requirements
Process Validation & Risk Management
- Contribute to Process FMEA activities
- Define critical process parameters and control measures
- Support validation builds for regulated or high-reliability products
- Specify tooling, fixtures and jigs where required
Continuous Improvement
- Lead efficiency and waste-reduction initiatives
- Improve material flow and workstation layout
- Reduce rework caused by process gaps
What We re Looking For
- Proven experience within electronics manufacturing (SMT / PCBA / HLA)
- Strong background in NPI and process development
- Experience creating and controlling manufacturing documentation
- Solid understanding of yield improvement and process optimisation
- Ability to operate autonomously while collaborating cross-functionally
- Structured, analytical and commercially minded approach
If you are process-driven, commercially aware, and ready to take accountability for manufacturing excellence we want to hear from you
Please note that all direct and speculative applications submitted will be forwarded to Rising Talent Recruitment for consideration.
