We have an exciting opening for an experienced Manufacturing/Process Engineer to work in the engineering team out of our Redditch site. This is a great opportunity to broaden your technical skills in a very interesting area of engineering while becoming a key member of our engineering team.

The Redditch site specializes in the design, development, and manufacture of components for small-scale cooling infra-red devices used in guided weapons and thermal imaging systems, high pressure actuation systems, and satellite cryogenic systems. Most of our programs are for space/military spanets where reliability and sound manufacturing are key. The individual who fills this role will be responsible for slotting into our team and becoming a key production resource to resolve any and all production issues. I expect this individual to take engineering ownership of our product lines and be prepared to both resolve issues and improve line performance
