About The Role


Cosworth (Northampton)

Senior Production Engineer
High Performance Engines
Northamptonshire
£56,000.00

What if your next engineering role put you right at the heart of developing the manufacturing processes behind some seriously high-performance machinery?

We’re working with a leading high-performance engine manufacturer in Northampton that is continuing to invest in its manufacturing capability while delivering a number of exciting and lucrative engineering projects.

They’re looking for a Senior Production / Manufacturing Engineer to join the team, taking technical ownership of complex manufacturing processes and playing a key role in how precision components move from concept through to production.

You’ll be working across two advanced manufacturing facilities featuring 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC machining, mill-turns, lathes, grinding and automation, with design, manufacture and testing all carried out in-house.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Taking ownership of manufacturing processes from initial concept through to full production

  • Developing and optimising complex multi-axis CNC programs using CAM

  • Designing fixturing, tooling and manufacturing solutions for high-precision components

  • Leading NPI and process improvement activity while providing technical support to engineers and shopfloor teams

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong CAM programming experience – Siemens NX would be ideal

  • A background within high-performance automotive, motorsport, aerospace or precision engineering

  • Strong experience within Production / Manufacturing Engineering, ideally working with complex CNC-machined components

  • Excellent machining knowledge with experience of fixture design and GD&T

 

For someone who enjoys the technical side of manufacturing but wants more ownership, more complex projects and the opportunity to influence the wider manufacturing operation, there is plenty here to get stuck into.

If you’re an experienced Production / Manufacturing Engineer looking for your next challenge within high-performance engineering, click apply and Kieran Evans will be in touch to discuss the finer details.
