Electronics Engineer (DHacs1847)
New Today
Job Description
We are recruiting an Electronics Engineer to support the transition of advanced electronic products from development into scalable, production-ready manufacturing.
This is a hands-on role focused on electronics production engineering, test development, and manufacturing optimisation, working across both R&D and production environments.
The Role
You will take ownership of the electronic aspects of production readiness, ensuring products are designed, tested, and built in a way that is robust, repeatable, and scalable.
Key areas include:
- NPI and transfer to manufacturing
- Production test strategy and development
- Electronics manufacturing processes
- Continuous improvement and fault resolution
What You Will Be Doing
New Product Introduction (NPI)
- Support transfer of products from R&D into manufacturing
- Define and manage BOMs within ERP systems
- Lead electronics workstreams within NPI projects
- Ensure designs meet DFM / DFT requirements
- Work with design teams to deliver manufacturable solutions
Production Test & Development
- Define and implement production test strategies
- Design and build test fixtures, jigs, and ATE systems
- Support development of test software and scripts
- Deliver robust end-of-line testing and calibration
Manufacturing Process Development
- Improve processes for:
- PCB assembly and integration
- Cable harnessing and electrical build
- Calibration and system integration
- Work with suppliers to maintain build quality and yield
- Resolve production queries related to electronics
Continuous Improvement
- Improve efficiency, quality, and repeatability
- Reduce build time and increase production yield
- Support cost reduction through design and process improvements
- Implement engineering changes to improve manufacturability
Production Support
- Troubleshoot PCB and system-level issues
- Perform root cause analysis and corrective actions
- Support non-conformance and CAPA processes
- Apply structured problem-solving methods (e.g. 8D, FMEA, SPC)
Documentation & Control
- Create clear production documentation:
- Build and test procedures
- Calibration and programming instructions
- Assembly and work instructions
- Support configuration control and engineering change processes
Cross-Functional Work
- Act as the electronics link between R&D, Production, and Quality
- Support supplier engagement and improvements
- Help define standards and best practice within the team
What We Are Looking For
- Practical, hands-on electronics engineer
- Strong problem solver with a structured approach
- Comfortable working across development and manufacturing
- Detail-focused with strong documentation discipline
- Able to improve processes, not just maintain them
Required Experience
- Degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering or similar
- Experience in electronics production engineering or manufacturing
- Strong understanding of:
- PCB assembly and integration
- Production test methods
- Experience with relevant standards (e.g. ISO9001, IPC610, ESD)
- Experience developing test fixtures or production verification processes
- Strong fault-finding capability at circuit and system level
Desirable Experience
- NPI experience (prototype to volume production)
- Knowledge of DFM / DFT and lean manufacturing
- Calibration systems and electronic measurement equipment
- Exposure to scripting, automation, or test software
- Experience in regulated or quality-controlled environments
What’s On Offer
- Opportunity to shape a new Production Engineering function
- Direct involvement in bringing advanced products into manufacture
- Strong collaboration across engineering and production
- Career development within a high-technology environment
- Competitive salary and benefits
This role suits someone who can take ownership of electronics in production, ensuring products are built, tested, and delivered to a consistently high standard.
