Manufacturing / NPI Engineer

Overview

Manufacturing / NPI Engineer – Corby

At our Corby site, we make ceramic cores that aerospace and turbine manufacturers use as moulds to cast the intricate shapes inside their components. It’s complex, highly technical work and we’re growing.

That’s why we’re looking for a Manufacturing / NPI Engineer.

You’ll take ownership of new product introductions for a set of customers, making sure new parts move smoothly from design to production. That means running trials, checking data, and making sure projects land where they should: on time, on budget, and with margins that make sense.

It’s a hands‑on role. Sometimes you’ll be in meetings with customers, sometimes you’ll be deep in project data, and sometimes you’ll be on the shop floor running trials yourself or investigating. The common thread is making sure the process works, the quality holds up, and everyone knows where things stand.

Responsibilities

What you’ll be doing

• Managing NPI projects from start to finish using our project systems.
• Creating New parts on our MRP system, building trial information, and customer agreed standards documentation.
• Working with engineering tolerances to conduct CMM analysis and improvement reports.
• Managing Engineering changes, internal and external requests, through the business.
• Running Gauge R&R checks and supporting FAIR submissions.
• Coordinating with production to ensure trials are delivered to plan.
• Producing clear updates, reports, and executive summaries for stakeholders.
• Using ERP systems (IFS/CRM/D365) for costings, routings, and product data.
• Monitoring Yields, Efficiencies, & Troubleshooting on new products and Legacy cores; driving improvements where needed.
• Using root cause analysis to fix problems first time.

Qualifications

What you’ll bring

• A High level of understanding / time served, in an engineering discipline; Mechanical, Manufacturing, Project or Injection Tooling.
• Hands‑on experience in a technical/engineering department.
• Background in new product introduction or product development.
• Strong communication skills — able to explain complex things clearly to colleagues and customers.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft suite; Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Minitab.
• Detail‑oriented, mechanically minded, and resilient.
• Confidence to chair meetings and represent the business with customers.

Nice to have

• Lean Six Sigma experience.
• Understanding of injection moulding.
• E2E Project management Experience.
• Experience handling tricky customer situations with professionalism.

What you’ll get

• 37.5 hours a week: Mon–Thu 8:00–16:30, Fri 8:00–13:30.
• The chance to lead meaningful projects in a fast‑growing manufacturing environment.
• Exposure to aerospace and industrial customers at a high technical level.
• Pay and benefits you’d expect from a global business.

If you want to see your engineering work actually make it into production and matter to customers, this is the place to do it. Apply now.
