Salary £35,000 - £40,000 depending on experience
Location Woodchester (Stroud), Glouc.
Renishaw is seeking to recruit an Electronic Production Engineer responsible for the Woodchester electronics production facility and application of process engineering disciplines within a challenging precision electronics assembly environment. The role includes the support / development of manufacturing processes, whilst also being responsible for driving proactive improvement activities targeting quality, product cost and waste reduction.
This is a varied position and consequently requires the demonstration and development of several different skills (from technical, data analysis, to communicating at different levels).
Note: new or recent engineering, physics, and maths graduate applications will be considered.
Responsibilities
You are required to become the process expert and the main point of contact for the production of various electronic assemblies, providing advice on a range of matters from future design changes and the impact on assembly, to the planning and actioning of tasks to allow substantial volume increases. You will be responsible for identifying and proposing changes in the product, determining which activities you need to work on to meet the larger scale objectives of the business (quality delivery cost) as well as managing the completion of these activities. Your specific responsibilities will include:
Technical support and development of the SMT, PTH, Die Attach, Wire bond & Test build processes that exist within the assigned manufacturing area
Analysis of process performance data to identify improvement actions
Maintenance of the process controls (including assembly documentation and equipment)
Regular interaction with the product divisions and the support services within the Manufacturing Services Division
Proactive process development and technical support across electronic products (process robustness, product cost reduction, cost of quality reduction, process control enhancement, efficiency improvement and process modelling, waste reduction, and process deskilling)
The investigation of process problems and root-cause analysis, with the implementation of robust corrective action within challenging deadlines
Continuous improvement activities within the supported areas using fact-based metrics
Analysis of process performance data to justify improvement actions
The processing and evaluation of design changes
The justification, specification, and implementation of new process equipment
Key requirements
A degree level education in a relevant technical discipline (electronics engineering, production engineering, manufacturing systems, mechanical engineering) or an HNC/HND level education with a significant exposure to the requirements of the role
Excellent problem solving and practical skills
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Experience working within an electronics environment
Desirable requirements
Proven experience and in-depth knowledge of SMT/PTH/Die Attach & Wire Bond/Test platforms.
Success in the management and delivery of technically challenging engineering activities
Successful application of structured problem solving and statistical analysis techniques (e.g., Six Sigma)
Awareness of lean manufacturing tools and techniques and an understanding of production metrics (productivity, efficiency, waste)
Practical application of cellular assembly process design, support, and improvement encompassing effective control and mistake-proofing techniques.
Conversant with CAD with the ability to generate and understand technical drawings
Design of assembly processes and product interaction equipment (including tooling, jigs, fixtures)
Understanding of metrology, measurement techniques and calibration
Person specification
Ability to work well in both a team, sharing ideas and coordinating actions, as well autonomously, managing your own activities and meeting deadlines in both cases.
Good activity priority management
Ability to spot potential areas for improvement irrelevant of current tasks
Hands on practical ability
Maintain a positive can-do attitude
Ability to multi-task and thrive in a high-pressure environment
Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills
