We have an exciting opportunity for an Instrument Manufacturing Engineer to join the Specialty Lab Solutions (SLS) team at our Llanberis facility on a two-year Fixed-Term Contract (FTC).

Hours: Monday-Friday, 08: 30-16: 30

This role will provide dedicated engineering support to the IMMULITE Bold Moves programme, a strategically important initiative focused on strengthening the long-term sustainability, resilience and competitiveness of the IMMULITE instrument supply chain.

The programme will deliver significant supplier, component and manufacturing changes, with a particular focus on:

• Supplier and component transfers
• Supply-chain localisation
• Component obsolescence management
• Alternative and second-source qualification
• Cost and productivity improvement
• Supply continuity and resilience
• Manufacturing process optimisation
• Engineering change and validation activities

Working closely with Procurement, Supplier Quality, Product Lifecycle Engineering, R& D, Quality, Supply Chain and Production, you will provide the technical leadership required to implement these changes safely, effectively and in compliance with applicable quality and regulatory requirements.

The role will primarily support the IMMULITE XPi and VersaCell instruments and associated spare parts.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Lead supplier, component and manufacturing process changes from initial technical assessment through qualification and production implementation.
• Support the transfer and localisation of mechanical, electrical and electromechanical components to new or alternative suppliers.
• Assess proposed component and supplier changes for manufacturability, product performance, quality, regulatory compliance and production risk.
• Work with Procurement and Supplier Quality to support supplier selection, technical reviews, capability assessments and qualification activities.
• Define appropriate verification and validation requirements for supplier transfers, component changes and manufacturing process changes.
• Lead engineering change implementation, ensuring changes are introduced into manufacturing in a structured, controlled and traceable manner.
• Coordinate updates to manufacturing documentation, work instructions, specifications, bills of material, process controls and technical records.
• Review engineering drawings, specifications, schematics and supplier technical information to establish component equivalence and identify product or process risks.
• Apply tools such as process FMEA, technical risk assessments and structured problem-solving methods to support project decisions.
• Work closely with R& D and Product Lifecycle Engineering to resolve technical issues requiring product design input or specification changes.
• Identify opportunities to improve manufacturability, assembly efficiency, component availability, product cost, quality and reliability.
• Ensure project activities comply with applicable quality, regulatory, safety and environmental requirements.
• Monitor implementation progress against agreed milestones and communicate technical risks, issues, decisions and resource constraints to the programme team.

Work Experience

• Degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Experience in a manufacturing engineering, product engineering, process engineering or industrialisation role.
• Experience implementing engineering changes within a controlled manufacturing environment.
• Practical understanding of mechanical, electrical and electromechanical manufacturing and assembly processes.
• Experience supporting component changes, supplier transfers, product transfers or alternative-source qualification activities.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, schematics, bills of material and technical documentation.
• Understanding of manufacturing process validation, verification and qualification principles.
• Experience producing high-quality technical documentation, including plans, protocols, reports, risk assessments and manufacturing instructions.
• Strong analytical, structured problem-solving, project-planning and organisational skills.
• Ability to assess technical risk and make evidence-based engineering recommendations.
• Effective communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to collaborate across Engineering, R& D, Quality, Procurement, Supply Chain, Supplier Quality and Production.

Benefits

• 26 days' holiday (with the option to buy up to 10 additional days, and sell up to 5)
