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.
