Job Description

The Manufacturing Engineering function’s role is to create, develop and validate manufacturing/inspection processes to support the MTC’s projects that are delivered across a broad range of technology areas and industrial sectors.

Job Responsibility

  • Drives improvements in Manufacturing Engineering processes, ensuring CNC-related workflows, tooling strategies, digital methods and verification techniques are robust, efficient and aligned with stakeholder needs
  • Delivers to customer and project needs largely independently, particularly where complex CNC machining, prove-out or first off development is involved — managing expectations, risks and technical decisions to deliver high quality outputs within agreed budgets and timescales
  • Supports in executing the Manufacturing Engineering Strategy with specific input into CNC capability development, technology roadmap, and team skills alignment
  • Works with design teams to execute effective design for manufacture/inspection, advising particularly on CNC manufacturability, fixture concepts, tolerancing, and machining strategy to meet project milestones
  • Develops and validates CNC and broader manufacturing/inspection processes, working closely with engineering teams and external stakeholders to ensure repeatability, accuracy, safety and efficiency
  • Creates high quality manufacturing documentation, including machining methods and sequences, toolpath strategy notes, PFMEAs, inspection/control plans, setup sheets and technical reports
  • Coordinates procurement of CNC tooling, fixturing, materials and gauges, ensuring all resources required for machining and build trials are available and appropriate
  • Owns and drives the resolution of manufacturing issues, particularly complex machining challenges, ensuring robust, sustainable solutions are implemented and customer requirements are met wherever possible
  • Leads continuous improvement of manufacturing processes
  • Attend and provide manufacturing engineering inputs to project meetings – weekly mtg, workshops, assurance activities, design reviews

  • Fixturing & work holding: Design principles for rigid, repeatable fixtures or custom solutions for complex parts
  • Metrology & verification: Practical application of GD&T, in-process measurement
  • Process development / prove out: Building a machining process from zero—material removal strategy, sequencing, datum strategy, in process control plans, first article signoff, and stabilisation to production ready state
  • Cell / equipment knowledge: Experience specifying and integrating CNC machining cells (machine selection criteria, spindle spec, control options, probing, tool management, swarf/chip handling, coolant systems, work holding, mist extraction) and coordinating installation & commissioning with vendors
  • Manufacturing risk & quality: Creating and using DFM/DFA inputs, PFMEA, control plans, and traceability in regulated environments
  • Customer & commercial awareness in a consultancy/project environment: scoping effort, shaping proposals, articulating technical risk, and defending estimates with clear assumptions
  • Willing and able to apply for Developed Vetting security clearance by the UK Government and undertake duties associated with this level of clearance
  • Excellent interpersonal and organisational skills
  • Able to demonstrate a high standard of report writing and presentation skills
  • Able to support senior colleagues with customer and internal partner liaison in collaborative projects
