We are looking for a Manufacturing Engineer who enjoys solving real production problems and improving how precision components are manufactured.
In this role you will work at the centre of Domin’s manufacturing operations, improving the processes that produce our high-performance products. Much of your work will focus on CNC precision machining processes including turning, milling, grinding, and honing. You will analyse how processes behave in production, identify sources of variation or inefficiency, and implement practical engineering improvements that make manufacturing more stable, capable, and productive.
You will work closely with operators, programmers, and design engineers to investigate issues, run trials, and implement improvements to tooling, fixturing, and manufacturing methods. You will also contribute to the industrialisation of new products and support the implementation of new capabilities into manufacturing.
This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys structured problem solving, working directly with production teams, and seeing the tangible results of their engineering work on the factory floor.
Key Responsibilities:
- Deliver manufacturing improvement projects that increase process capability, stability, and throughput, with a primary focus on CNC precision machining processes including turning, milling, grinding, and honing.
- Plan and execute process trials and validation activities to improve tooling, fixturing, machining parameters, and manufacturing methods.
- Use production data and statistical analysis to monitor manufacturing performance and identify improvement opportunities.
- Lead structured root cause investigations into manufacturing issues and implement corrective actions that permanently remove failure modes.
- Support the industrialisation of new products by validating manufacturing processes and resolving early production issues.
- Develop and maintain clear process documentation and manufacturing standards to ensure manufacturing improvements are controlled and repeatable.
Essential Requirements:
- Relevant engineering degree or equivalent formal qualification (e.g. NVQ Level 5).
- Approximately 4–7 years of experience in a manufacturing engineering role.
- Experience improving manufacturing processes through structured problem solving and root cause investigation.
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and the factors that influence process capability, variation, and performance.
- Experience running manufacturing trials, validations, or process improvements involving tooling, fixturing, or manufacturing methods.
- Ability to analyse production data and use statistical techniques to identify improvement opportunities.
- Ability to create clear technical documentation such as process instructions, validation reports, and engineering change documentation to ensure manufacturing knowledge is captured and improvements are repeatable.
- Experience working effectively with operators and cross-functional engineering teams to investigate issues and implement manufacturing improvements.
Beneficial Requirements:
- Experience working with CNC precision machining, assembly, or 3D metal printing processes.
- Familiarity with SPC, process capability analysis, and statistical manufacturing tools.
- Experience supporting new product introduction or industrialisation of new manufacturing processes.
- Knowledge of lean manufacturing or continuous improvement methodologies.
- Experience mentoring or supporting early-career engineers.
