About the Role

Join Oxford Instruments’ Materials Analysis business unit, where we design and manufacture advanced benchtop systems that enable scientists and industry to better understand and analyse materials.

As a Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll play a key role in supporting the production of our benchtop NMR products—ensuring they are built efficiently, to the highest quality standards, and ready to meet the needs of customers across research, academia, and industry.

You’ll work at the intersection of engineering, production, and innovation—driving improvements, supporting new product introduction, and helping translate cutting-edge technology into reliable, manufacturable solutions.

What You’ll Be Doing

Provide hands-on engineering support to production, ensuring quality products are delivered on schedule
Analyse and improve manufacturing processes, identifying waste and driving continuous improvement
Lead initiatives using Lean and Six Sigma to improve yield, reliability, and efficiency
Monitor and improve key metrics such as product yield and returns (wRMA)
Support New Product Introduction (NPI), ensuring products and processes are production-ready and repeatable
Develop and maintain work instructions, inspection criteria, and manufacturing documentation
Collaborate with engineering, supply chain, and production teams to resolve issues and implement improvements
Support supplier performance across cost, quality, and delivery
Contribute to shop floor layout and tooling design to support evolving product needs
Champion safe working practices, 5S, and operational excellence

What We’re Looking For

✔️ Your Experience & Skills

Degree/HND in Manufacturing, Electronics Engineering, or equivalent experience
Proven experience applying Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement tools
Strong structured problem-solving skills
Knowledge of ISO 9000 quality systems
Experience with NPI, DfX, and product lifecycle management
Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems (BOMs, routings, etc.)
Experience working with precision or scientific instrumentation is highly advantageous

Your Attributes

Strong communicator, able to influence across teams
Proactive, driven, and solutions-focused
Passionate about continuous improvement and delivering results
Collaborative with a positive, can-do mindset

Why Join Materials Analysis at Oxford Instruments?

Be part of a globally recognised technology leader in scientific instrumentation
Work on innovative benchtop NMR products with real-world impact
Collaborate with talented engineers and scientists in a purpose-driven environment
Opportunity to shape manufacturing excellence and grow your career

Make an Impact
