Manufacturing Engineer - NPI

Manufacturing Engineer – NPI
Location: Hereford
Salary: Up to £55,000

Are you a Manufacturing Engineer with experience in prototyping and new product introduction, looking to play a key role in bringing complex, high-power products into full-scale production?

This is a unique opportunity to join an innovative engineering business working on advanced electronic systems, where you’ll support both ongoing development and the transition into full NPI and production.
  
The Role
This is a hybrid Manufacturing Engineer / NPI position, focused on supporting the development and industrialisation of highly complex, high-power electronic products.

You’ll work closely with engineering and production teams to take evolving designs and turn them into robust, manufacturable products, playing a key role in scaling production capability.

The position offers a clear pathway to develop into a dedicated NPI-focused role within 12–24 months.
  
Key Responsibilities

• Support the transition of products from prototype to production (NPI)
• Convert incomplete or evolving designs into manufacturable, production-ready solutions
• Work closely with design engineers to refine and improve product performance
• Drive improvements around scalability, manufacturability, and efficiency
• Support production with technical input, process development, and problem solving
• Assist in developing build processes, documentation, and work instructions
• Contribute to ongoing product development, including performance and design optimisation

  
What We’re Looking For

• Experience as a Manufacturing Engineer within a prototyping or low-volume environment
• Strong understanding of NPI processes and product industrialisation
• Experience working with complex electronic or electromechanical products
• Ability to work with evolving designs and bring structure to development projects
• Hands-on, proactive mindset with strong problem-solving ability
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally

  
Desirable Experience

• Experience with high power electronics or amplifiers
• Interest or exposure to RF technologies
• Background in start-up or fast-paced development environments
• Experience supporting scaling of products into production

  
Why Apply?

• Hybrid working offering flexibility between home and site
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge, high-power technologies
• Play a key role in developing and scaling new products
• Clear progression into a long-term NPI-focused position
• Be part of a growing engineering function with strong future potential
