We design and produce advanced, lightweight, high-power, high-torque-density electric propulsion systems for various aerospace sectors, including eVTOL, UAVs, and general aviation. Our expertise also extends to custom high-integrity battery systems tailored for aerospace and defense applications. We are currently undergoing rapid growth with an ambitious expansion planned over the next 12 to 18 months.

Role Overview

As a Manufacturing Engineer on our Manufacturing Engineering Team, you will primarily focus on motor controller and harness products. Your responsibility will be to develop, validate, enhance, and maintain manufacturing processes, equipment, and related documentation to ensure the safe, reliable, and scalable production of our cutting-edge products.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, plan, and implement manufacturing facilities and workflows for motor control unit and harness assembly and testing.
• Lead the specification, procurement, commissioning, and Factory and Site Acceptance Testing (FAT/SAT) of equipment.
• Participate in design reviews by providing feedback on manufacturing feasibility for new product designs.
• Develop and manage Manufacturing Bills of Materials (MBOMs), process flows, routings, work instructions, and all technical documentation using digital tools to maintain accuracy and accessibility.
• Support engineering trials, pilot builds, and production line modifications; collaborate with production, quality, and planning teams to resolve constraints and ensure seamless handover.
• Work alongside Tooling Engineers and suppliers to ensure the timely delivery and validation of production tooling.
• Engage actively in daily stand-ups, Material Review Boards, and cross-functional meetings, providing updates and identifying risks.
• Evaluate manufacturing processes and equipment for compliance with safety protocols and operational risk management.
• Conduct advanced quality planning like PFMEA, Control Plans, virtual builds, and Production Readiness Reviews; validate processes using data-driven approaches.
• Contribute to FRACAS by applying structured problem-solving methods to identify root causes and execute corrective measures.
• Provide accurate manufacturing costings and feasibility analyses to support early project proposals.
• Pursue personal growth through feedback, training, and collaborative development activities.
• Promote a collaborative team atmosphere by sharing knowledge, supporting colleagues, and constructive cross-departmental cooperation.

Required Qualifications & Experience
