- Identifying and documenting non-conforming materials and supporting quality investigations.
- Assisting with the collection and analysis of quality data to identify trends and areas for improvement.
- Supporting production teams with component and material-related quality issues.
- Working with internal teams to help resolve quality concerns and improve processes.
- Contributing to continuous improvement activities and the ongoing development of inspection methods and procedures.
- Maintaining high standards of quality, accuracy and attention to detail in all activities.

Essential
- Degree, HNC/HND, apprenticeship, or equivalent qualification in Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality Engineering, or a closely related discipline.

- Good problem-solving, analytical and organisational skills.
- Good written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
- Positive attitude and willingness to learn.
Desirable
- Experience carrying out inspections or quality checks on electronic, mechanical or electromechanical components.
- Familiarity with measurement equipment such as calipers, gauges, micrometers or other inspection tools.
- Experience reviewing engineering drawings, technical specifications or manufacturing documentation.
- Exposure to electronics, engineering, manufacturing, medical device or other regulated industries.
- Familiarity with ISO standards and regulated quality processes.
- Understanding of quality systems, non-conformances, CAPA activities or root cause investigations.
- Experience within a highly controlled manufacturing environment.
Why Join Us?

- Root cause analysis and problem-solving methodologies.
- Manufacturing quality processes.
- Quality Management Systems.
