Senior Manufacturing Process Engineer

Own a portfolio of customers building satellites, fusion reactors, submarines and robots, and the factories that make their parts. You'll take every job from the first drawing review to good parts on the bench, and help a profitable, fast-growing business decide how it runs.

This is a profitable, boutique manufacturing consultancy that gets custom parts made for hardware teams, from start-ups to blue chips. Engineers send in CAD, the team reviews it, briefs long-standing partner factories in China, the UK and Europe, and manages the job to quality-checked delivery. More than 400,000 parts across about 4,000 projects, mostly for repeat customers, and a place on the FT1000 list of Europe's fastest growing companies.

The role

Day-to-day you'll review RFQs, CAD and drawings, spot the DFM issues across CNC, sheet metal, anodising and plating, and explain them to busy engineers in plain language. You'll brief the factories, challenge their quotes, issue your own, and track orders through production, handling slippage and quality calmly when manufacturing reality bites. You'll sit alongside the founder and a manufacturing project engineer, set the pace for a newer hire, and fix the processes that cause rework or delay.
