Electronic Engineer

Electronic Engineer - Production & Manufacturing Support

Location: Harrogate

Salary: Up to £55,000 DOE

The Opportunity

Are you an engineer with an electronics background who thrives on the production floor, working hands-on to get products from prototype into reliable, high-volume manufacture?

Our client is a market-leading IoT technology company developing innovative electronic products for global markets. They're looking for a hands-on engineer to lead product introduction into manufacturing, drive continuous improvement on the production line, and act as the technical bridge between design, manufacturing, and suppliers.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead New Product Introduction (NPI) and production ramp-up activities, working closely with manufacturing teams to bring products from prototype to volume build.
• Partner day-to-day with production operators, line leaders, and manufacturing engineers to resolve build issues and keep output flowing.
• Work with external suppliers and contract manufacturers to ensure products are optimised for volume manufacture.
• Drive Design for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) improvements, feeding practical, production-floor insight back into product design.
• Develop and maintain test equipment, fixtures, and verification procedures used in production.
• Carry out fault finding and root cause analysis on production issues, and implement corrective actions.
• Support quality, reliability, and cost-reduction initiatives across the manufacturing process.
• Provide light-touch electronics support (analogue/digital circuits, PCB-level troubleshooting) as needed to resolve production issues.

About You

• Degree qualified in Electronics Engineering or a related discipline.
• Proven experience supporting products through medium or high-volume manufacturing environments.
• Comfortable working closely with production teams, suppliers, and contract manufacturers on a daily basis.
• Strong hands-on fault-finding and problem-solving skills in a manufacturing setting.
• Working knowledge of PCB assembly, SMT processes, EMC considerations, and manufacturing test methods.
• Some background in analogue/digital electronics design is useful but not the main focus of this role.

Experience with NPI, IoT devices, embedded electronics, or leading production-floor technical teams would be advantageous.

What's on Offer?

• A central role in taking products from design into successful, reliable volume production.
• Close, ongoing collaboration with manufacturing, suppliers, and cross-functional teams.
• Opportunities for technical growth and progression within a production-focused engineering environment.

If you're a hands-on engineer who enjoys being close to the production line and solving real manufacturing challenges, we'd love to hear from you.
