About the role
We are seeking a dynamic and driven Production Engineer to support and lead multi-disciplinary teams in delivering high-quality manufacturing and assembly solutions. This role is central to driving concurrent engineering objectives—from concept development through to production line commissioning and final handover. You will play a key role in establishing and maintaining manufacturing baselines, ensuring production readiness, and enabling efficient, repeatable, and high-precision operations.

Qualifications and experience

• Minimum Diploma in Mechanical, Electronic Engineering or Industrial Engineering; Advanced Diploma preferred.
• Strong understanding of LEAN manufacturing principles.
• Solid experience in Manufacture & Assembly, applying Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) tools and principles.
• Knowledge of design optimisation, manufacturing technologies, and supplier development.
• Experience with high-precision manufactured products and technologies.
• Proven experience in production line design, commissioning, and optimisation.

Key technical skills

• Expertise in LEAN manufacturing principles.
• Experience in Producibility Analysis techniques.
• Knowledge of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and EN9145 principle.
• Proficiency in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.
• Strong understanding of product development and concurrent engineering processes.
• Skilled in Production Aid Documentation.
• Ability to extract and apply Product Life Cycle requirements into DFMA solutions.
• Broad knowledge of manufacturing, assembly, and quality control techniques.
• Experience in precision assembly, alignment, and testing techniques.

Key responsibilities

1. Producibility Analysis

• Collaborate with Product Development Teams to evaluate multiple concepts from a DFMA perspective.
• Define and mature Assembly and Test strategies aligned with product lifecycle.
• Develop Process Flow Diagrams.
• Contribute to Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), Control Plans, and Measurement System Analysis (MSA) plans.
• Ensure products are producible, repeatable, and maintainable.

2. Assembly line requirements and design

• Perform workflow analysis and workstation design/layout.
• Define Tooling and Jig Fixtures (TJF) and assembly equipment.
• Manage scheduling, contracting, and cost tracking for tooling and test equipment.
• Oversee workstation builds and collaborate with operations stakeholders.
• Define workforce requirements and align with Operations Management.

3. Manufacturing baseline design and SAP requirements

• Establish and maintain assembly/support line baselines and operational procedures.
• Develop documentation for training, production, testing, quality control, and repair.
• Maintain all production SAP data (routings, costing, BOMs, etc.).

4. Assembly line commissioning and acceptance

• Lead the setup of production and assembly lines with cross-functional teams.
• Conduct Production Readiness Reviews.
• Ensure Pre-Production Models (PPMs) meet baseline requirements.
• Validate throughput performance of production lines.
• Coordinate training and final handover to Operations Management.
