What if your next engineering role put you right at the heart of developing the manufacturing processes behind some seriously high-performance machinery?

We’re working with a leading high-performance engine manufacturer in Northampton that is continuing to invest in its manufacturing capability while delivering a number of exciting and lucrative engineering projects.

They’re looking for a Senior Production / Manufacturing Engineer to join the team, taking technical ownership of complex manufacturing processes and playing a key role in how precision components move from concept through to production.

You’ll be working across two advanced manufacturing facilities featuring 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC machining, mill-turns, lathes, grinding and automation, with design, manufacture and testing all carried out in-house.

What you’ll be doing :

* Taking ownership of manufacturing processes from initial concept through to full production

* Developing and optimising complex multi-axis CNC programs using CAM

* Designing fixturing, tooling and manufacturing solutions for high-precision components

* Leading NPI and process improvement activity while providing technical support to engineers and shopfloor teams
