Manufacturing Engineer

Looking to take complex aerospace components from design through to production?

This is a hands‑on engineering role within a growing advanced manufacturing team supporting technically demanding aerospace and high-performance applications.

You’ll work across design, DfAM, manufacturing development, taking customer requirements through engineering development and into repeatable production.

• Review customer designs, drawings and requirements, redesigning components using DfAM and DfM principles where needed.
• Develop manufacturing strategies covering additive build preparation, machining, heat treatment, finishing and inspection.
• Work with customers and internal teams to resolve design and manufacturability challenges.
• Design fixtures and tooling and create SOPs, work instructions, routings and other manufacturing documentation.
• Support development builds, qualification and the introduction of new components into production.
• Troubleshoot manufacturing issues and use production and inspection data to improve designs and processes.
• Take technical ownership of components from initial development through to stable, repeatable production.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing, Materials Engineering or a related discipline.
• Strong CAD experience with the ability to design and modify complex engineered components.
• Experience applying DfAM or DfM principles, ideally within metal additive manufacturing or LPBF.
• Experience taking components from initial concept, manufacturing development or production introduction through to full production.
• Experience creating SOPs, work instructions, routings or similar controlled manufacturing documentation.
• Good understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T, and manufacturing processes.
• Comfortable working across both design and hands‑on manufacturing within aerospace, defence, space or another regulated environment.
