iO Associates & PRG Consulting are supporting a well-funded advanced engineering OEM on an urgent manufacturing-engineering requirement.
The team is looking for hands-on Manufacturing Engineers to support a focused hardware work package involving complex precision electro-mechanical parts.

- Supporting fast-turn process changes as the hardware and production approach mature.
- Keeping track of progress, updating internal documentation and improving processes as the work package develops.
You should have:
- Proven Manufacturing Engineering experience within aerospace, automotive, robotics, advanced manufacturing or a similar complex hardware environment.
- Experience supporting precision mechanical or electro-mechanical assemblies, ideally involving complex parts, high mix / low volume builds or NPI activity.
- Strong practical understanding of assembly methods, tooling, work instructions, tolerancing and design-for-manufacture principles.
- Working knowledge of Dassault Systmes 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) is essential.
- A practical, on-site mindset and availability to start from 31st August or 7th September.
