This is a confidential appointment within a growing engineering‑led organisation operating in the industrial and embedded hardware space.
Role overview
The Production Engineering Lead will act as a key technical support function within production, working closely with engineering, configuration and quality teams to ensure products are built, tested and released efficiently and consistently.
This is a hands‑on role suited to someone who enjoys being close to production activity and taking ownership of technical issues that arise during build and test.
Responsibilities
* Provide hands‑on technical support across production activities
* Troubleshoot hardware, system and integration issues during build and test
* Support first‑article, prototype and pre‑production builds
* Improve and maintain build processes, work instructions and documentation
* Support configuration and change activity to maintain build accuracy
* Act as a technical escalation point for production‑related issues
* Work collaboratively with engineering, quality and operations teams
Candidate profile
* Background in production engineering, manufacturing engineering, systems integration or NPI
* Experience working with complex hardware systems in a production environment
* Comfortable operating in a hands‑on, shop‑floor‑focused role
* Proven ability to diagnose and resolve build and integration issues
* Experience supporting new product or first‑article builds
* Practical, detail‑focused and solutions‑driven approach
Experience within industrial, embedded or custom hardware environments is advantageous, but company‑specific experience is not essential.
Why consider this role
* Technically varied position with genuine ownership
* Opportunity to influence how products are built and delivered
* Hands‑on engineering role rather than purely desk‑based work
* Long‑term opportunity within a stable, growing business
Further details about the organisation will be shared during the interview process.
