The Role

The Graduate NPI Engineer will play a key role in ensuring that new products are industrialised effectively, meeting customer requirements for quality, performance, cost, and compliance.

The Role

NPI activity at Precision Micro is typically fast‑paced and delivered to short timescales, requiring engineers to balance technical rigour with responsiveness and commercial awareness, often working across multiple projects in parallel.

Key Responsibilities Include

• Technical review of customer drawings, CAD models, and specifications to assess manufacturability using photochemical etching and secondary processes
• Producing and modifying CAD models and engineering drawings to support product development, process definition, and customer requirements
• Supporting feasibility studies, costings, and technical input during the quotation phase
• Assisting with the development, optimisation, and validation of manufacturing processes for new products
• Supporting process trials, first‑off manufacture, and capability studies
• Creating and maintaining engineering documentation including routings, work instructions, control plans, and technical reports
• Working closely with Quality, Production, Sales, Supply Chain, and HSE teams to resolve technical and production issues during product introduction
• Operating in full compliance with company Health & Safety standards, proactively identifying risks and working collaboratively with HSE to develop safe, practical engineering solutions
• Applying structured problem‑solving techniques to support root cause analysis and corrective actions
• Contributing to continuous improvement and standardisation of NPI and manufacturing processes

About You

This role is ideal for a self‑motivated, confident, and ambitious graduate who enjoys working in a technical, manufacturing‑led environment and is comfortable applying good numerical and analytical skills to real‑world problems.

You Will Ideally Have

• A First‑class honours degree (essential)
• A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Science, or a related engineering discipline is desirable but not essential
• Excellent mathematics and numeracy skills, with a minimum of Grade 8 (or equivalent) at GCSE Mathematics
• Confidence working with calculations, tolerances, data analysis, and technical information
• The ability to understand and interpret technical drawings, data, and specifications
• An analytical and methodical approach to problem solving
• Great communication skills and the confidence to engage with colleagues across engineering, production, quality, commercial, and HSE teams
• Good organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to prioritise effectively in a changeable environment
• Experience using CAD software (any mainstream package) is advantageous
• A genuine interest in precision manufacturing or advanced engineering environments, with the ambition to develop a long‑term technical career

What We Offer

• A technically focused graduate role within a world‑class precision manufacturing business
• Exposure to high‑specification customer applications and regulated industries
• A varied, fast‑moving NPI environment rather than long single‑project lead times
• Structured on‑the‑job training, mentoring, and professional development
• Competitive graduate salary and benefits package
• Clear opportunities for progression into senior NPI, process, manufacturing, or quality engineering roles
