Job Description Location: Miskin, Wales Salary up to £40,000 depending on experience Exciting opportunity responsible for the delivery of innovative, efficient, and capable process engineering projects within a high variety, high complexity, and challenging precision optical / electro-mechanical assembly environment. This position will give the right candidate a chance to make their mark and significantly impact the productivity and efficiency of key production lines, critical to the success of the business. This is a very varied position and consequently requires the demonstration and development of several different skills (from technical, data analysis, to communicating at different levels). As such, on the job training is a key aspect of integration of a new employee and is used alongside training courses (e.g. Lean six sigma) and manager feedback to ensure efficient integration into the team, position and working environment. Note : new or recent engineering, physics, and math's graduate applications will be considered. Please note, we are unable to provide sponsorship for this role. Having personal transport is an advantage as public transport cannot be relied upon due to our remote location. You are required to become the process expert and the main point of contact for the production of your product, providing advice on a range of matters from future design changes and the impact on assembly, to the planning and actioning of tasks to allow substantial volume increases. You will be responsible for identifying and proposing changes in the product, determining which activities you need to work on to meet the larger scale objectives of the business (quality delivery cost) as well as managing the completion of these activities. Your specific responsibilities will include: Proactive process development and technical support of optical-mechanical products (process robustness, product cost reduction, cost of quality reduction, process control enhancement, efficiency improvement and process modelling, waste reduction, and process deskilling) The investigation of process problems and root-cause analysis, with the implementation of robust corrective action within challenging deadlines Continuous improvement activities within the supported areas using fact-based metrics Analysis of process performance data to justify improvement actions Design of assembly processes and product interaction equipment (including tooling, jigs, fixtures) The processing and evaluation of design changes The justification, specification, and implementation of new process equipment Regular interaction with the product divisions and the support services within the manufacturing services division Key requirements The minimum of a degree level of education (2:1 or above) in a relevant technical discipline (e.g. manufacturing systems, mechanical engineering, physics, mathematics etc.) A high level of PC literacy Desirable requirements Success in the management and delivery of technically challenging engineering activities Successful application of structured problem solving and statistical analysis techniques (e.g. Six Sigma) Awareness of lean manufacturing tools and techniques and an understanding of production metrics (productivity, efficiency, waste) Understanding of metrology, measurement techniques and calibration Person specification Ability to work well in both a team, sharing ideas and coordinating actions, as well autonomously, managing your own activities and meeting deadlines in both cases. Good activity priority management Ability to spot potential areas for improvement irrelevant of current tasks Hands on practical ability Maintain a positive can-do attitude Ability to multi-task and thrive in a high-pressure environment Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills
