  • Support product development activities within PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) systems, including BOM management and document control
  • Participate in Product Design Reviews with internal and external reviewers to ensure that all products are designed and produced in line with best design and manufacturing practices to produce a quality product efficiently and effectively (right first time).
  • Assembly of prototypes and Engineering validation samples, checking and cross-referencing of the BOM’s, BOM structure, drawings, and part numbers to ensure accurate product definition and configuration control.
  • Provide a formal report on the prototype and pre-production assemblies, identifying all issues that need attention along with recommendations to mitigate manufacturing risks.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to resolve design and production challenges
  • Generate the manufacturing package for production and sub-contractors that include:
  • Assembly instruction (TP), to optimise the production process, to minimise overall timing costs and reduce manufacturing risk.
  • Analysing the product assembly times to quantify labour content (man-hours) and subassembly process times.
  • Identifying, designing and acquiring jigs, tools and test equipment that will be required for production.
  • Training the production teams on the assembly process techniques and use of unique equipment jigs and fixtures.
  • Support the pre-production run processes managed by the Production Team Leader to ensure that the procedures in the TP’s are strictly followed or amended if necessary. Update the TP’s and recommend changes to BOM’s and drawings to reflect the desired best production practice.
  • Investigate, evaluate, and introduce new product materials and manufacturing processes to improve product quality and reduce product’s life cycle cost.
  • Evaluate and support investigations into field failures.
  • Other duties as requested.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
