Your role

Capgemini Engineering seeking a skilled and motivated Manufacturing Engineer with strong experience in electronics or avionics manufacturing to lead non-conformance reduction and drive quality, reliability, and productivity improvements. The role focuses on strengthening manufacturing processes, increasing first-time yield, and embedding a culture of operational discipline and confidence on the shop floor.

Non-Conformance & Defect Reduction
• Lead structured investigations into electronic, electrical, and avionic assembly non-conformances, driving accurate root cause analysis and implementing systematic corrective and preventive actions across PCB assemblies, wiring, avionic modules, and test processes.

• Collaborate with Quality and Operations to prioritise high-impact issues, while developing clear metrics and dashboards to track defect trends, validate improvements, and ensure long-term sustainability
Quality & Process Improvement
• Analyse electronic and avionic manufacturing processes to identify variability, weaknesses, and opportunities for stabilisation, while introducing robust process controls, test improvements, error-proofing, and standardised work instructions.

• Drive quality enhancements across soldering, cable/harness assembly, PCB assembly, test equipment usage, and configuration management, ensuring manufacturing documentation and build instructions are clear, accurate, and aligned with engineering requirements.
Cost Reduction & Operational Efficiency
• Quantify cost drivers from rework, scrap, test failures, and process inefficiencies, and lead cost-out initiatives through process simplification, improved tooling, and cycle-time optimisation, while collaborating with supply chain and design engineering to address manufacturability issues early.
Culture, Confidence & Capability Building
• Support operators and technicians by improving confidence in critical build processes and test procedures through coaching and training, while promoting disciplined adherence to controlled documentation and fostering a culture of ownership where issues are raised proactively and resolved collaboratively.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Serve as the technical interface across Engineering, Quality, Production, and Test teams, driving design-for-manufacture improvements for avionics/electronic assemblies, contributing engineering insight to daily production decisions, and supporting audits as the manufacturing engineering

Your profile

Skills & Experience
Essential

• Proven experience as a Manufacturing Engineer in electronics, electrical, avionics, or high-integrity assembly.

• Strong understanding of PCB assembly, wiring/harness assembly, electronic test processes, or avionic module build.

• Hands-on experience resolving manufacturing non-conformances using recognised problem-solving tools (e.g., 8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa).

• Demonstrable track record of reducing defects and improving process capability.

• Strong understanding of quality systems, traceability, configuration control, and high-reliability manufacturing requirements.

• Confident communicator, able to influence operators, quality staff, supervisors, and design engineers.

• Comfortable working directly on the shop floor and engaging with technicians to refine or correct processes.

Desirable

• Familiarity with lean methodologies and continuous improvement frameworks (e.g., Kaizen, PFMEA, SPC).

• Experience with manufacturing execution systems (MES), ERP tools, or NCR management platforms.
