Engagement

Apply for this role

We open this role when an NPI programme starts. We are talking to people now so that we are not beginning the search on the day one does.

The role carries the technical authority to sign off a milestone: pilot yield, cycle time, certification, and the control plan that goes into production with the product.

What you will own

  • T0 and T1 trials and the correction loop through to a clean assembly
  • Pilot build and line validation, covering yield, cycle time and rejection analysis
  • Electrical safety and BIS certification through to a pass
  • Control plans, inspection standards with AQL, and the SOP pack

What we need

  • Eight to twelve years in hardware NPI through to mass production
  • At least two consumer products taken from first-shot trial through to SOP
  • Electrical safety and BIS submission experience
  • You write acceptance criteria that are clear enough to settle a disagreement

What helps

  • Small appliance or personal care category
  • Supplier quality systems, control plans, AQL
  • Experience of turning a programme around
