Job description

  • As Staff Manufacturing Product Engineer, you will take a leading role in supporting NPI development and volume production across complex hardware products. You will connect design, test, quality and supply chain decisions with real manufacturing outcomes
  • Your work will help ensure products are manufacturable, resilient and ready for supplier capability. You will provide DfM feedback that improves PCB and system design before issues reach production
  • You will work closely with contract manufacturers, especially during NPI and early volume manufacture. You will drive yield improvement, analyse production data and resolve L6 manufacturing issues
  • You will travel to Taiwan and work close to suppliers shaping next generation manufacturing technologies
  • You will join the Manufacturing and Technology Process team within Operations. The team works across Bristol, Cambridge and Taiwan, close to foundry, package assembly and PCBA partners
  • Work happens through clear ownership, supplier engagement and fast feedback into design teams. You will speak up early when manufacturability, yield or capability needs attention
  • The team values evidence, responsibility and strong cross-regional relationships. Decisions are made through engineering judgement, data and direct accountability for manufacturing performance

Benefits

  • Work-Life Balance: We believe you should have a good work-life balance. Everyone’s situation is different, so we offer flexible working arrangements and start and finish times, allowing you to choose when to work from home or come into the office

Preferred experience

  • This role suits someone who enjoys practical engineering ownership across design and production
  • Working knowledge of L10 mechanical design and system build, ideally for HPC products
  • Strong fault diagnosis, problem solving and failure analysis skills, including ICT to SMT debug
  • Experienced in statistical analysis tools (e.g JMP, SQL, Python)
  • Strong interpersonal skills for supplier-facing, cross-functional and cross-regional engineering work
  • Thorough understanding of Automated surface mount assembly processes and manufacturing methodologies
  • Experience using continuous improvement methods, including SPC and DOE
  • Ability to connect silicon, package and PCB interactions into clear DfM feedback
  • Extensive experience in a similar manufacturing facing role
  • While we have outlined a set of requirements, we value transferable skills and diverse experiences. If you meet most of our essential criteria, we encourage you to submit an application and showcase how your background makes you a strong candidate
