A fantastic opportunity has ariens for a Research/Manufacturing Engineer to join the team with our prestigious client at their site in Bristol, this is a hybrid role, 2 days per week on-site and 3 days at home

ROLE PURPOSE:

• To complete technical engineering tasks in line with project requirements. This will be un-supervised in some complex and non-complex contexts.

MAIN ACTIVITIES:

Technical

• Complete literature surveys through the analysis of existing and state-of-the-art activities to make a qualitative assessment and justification for a recommended approach to the technical challenge.
• Prepare and examine how our engineering capability can be developed by explaining how this will meet future engineering needs.
• Complete tasks to support project requirements by applying and analysing mathematical and scientific theory and performing practical tasks to complete a range of technical activities in complex and non-routine circumstances.
• Assist and leads Graduate Research Engineers and Associate Research Engineers with theoretical applications.
• Apply and analyse innovative approaches to investigate, evaluate and develop technical solutions in basic and some complex contexts. This level of innovation may include concepts for a new generation of an existing system or process where limited existing knowledge exists. This is medium risk.
• Complete technical documents giving a comparative assessment of the technical activity. Contribute to project proposals by identifying technical activities for the statement of work.

Customer Interaction

• Actively engage and present customers with informative updates on progress, successes and challenges until activity completion to enhance customer relationships.
• Pursue opportunities for multi-disciplined working (internally and externally) by pro actively working with others to achieve shared goals and better position NCC technical capabilities/deliverables.
• Openly share information to facilitate the accomplishment of broader objectives.

• Experience of a range of manufacturing process and be agile/adaptable to jump in where required rather than say just work on one project or just in aerospace – composites not essential but it would be helpful
• see projects/engineering through a quality lens – maybe was a quality engineer in the past (but broadened into a manufacturing engineer)
• good depth of understanding of creating/managing process documents PFMEAs and SOIs
• Lean/Six Sigma experience/qualification
