About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Manufacturing Engineer specialising in electrical and cabling systems to lead the development, industrialisation, and continuous improvement of complex electrical harness manufacturing activities from initial design release through to full-rate production.

The successful candidate will work closely with Design Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Production, and Programme teams to develop robust and scalable manufacturing solutions within a fast-paced aerospace and defence environment. The position requires a strong technical understanding of electrical harness assembly processes combined with practical experience implementing manufacturing improvements on the factory floor.
This is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated engineer who thrives in a hands-on environment and is passionate about manufacturing excellence, process optimisation, and operational performance.

Key Responsibilities

Lead manufacturing engineering activities for electrical harness and cabling assemblies across the full product lifecycle.
Support New Product Introduction (NPI) activities including process development, tooling definition, work instruction creation, and production readiness reviews.
Develop and implement efficient manufacturing processes for electrical harness assembly, including:
- Wire preparation and termination
- Crimping and soldering

- 5 Whys
Collaborate with Quality Engineering to ensure compliance with aerospace standards and customer requirements.
Support design for manufacture (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) reviews during product development stages.
Identify and implement tooling, fixture, and process improvements to enhance manufacturing capability and repeatability.
Participate in internal and external audits and support regulatory and customer compliance activities.
Work closely with suppliers and subcontractors to ensure manufacturing capability and component quality requirements are achieved.
Mentor junior engineers and production personnel on manufacturing best practices and process standards.
Support capacity planning, line balancing, and production ramp-up activities for new and existing programmes.

Required skills, qualifications and experience

Degree-qualified in Manufacturing Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
Proven experience in a Manufacturing Engineering role within aerospace, defence, automotive, or another highly regulated industry.
Strong experience leading New Product Introduction (NPI) activities from prototype through to full production release.
Demonstrated success delivering continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, efficiency, and cost reduction.
Strong understanding of aerospace quality standards and regulatory requirements, including:
- AS9100
- IPC/WHMA-A-620
- ESD control requirements
- Configuration control processes
Deep technical knowledge of electrical harness manufacturing processes, including:
- Crimping
- Braiding
- Potting
- Soldering

- Connector assembly and backshell integration
Experience developing manufacturing documentation and production process controls.
Proficient in CAD systems and manufacturing documentation tools.
Experience using ERP and MRP systems within a production environment.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify root causes and implement sustainable corrective actions.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, quality, and production functions.
Comfortable working within a fast-paced, high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment.
Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and programme deadlines simultaneously.
