Manufacturing Engineer - Additive (RAF: 874885)

We are looking for a Manufacturing Engineer (Additive) to join our Workshop team based in Coventry.

The ME role is to turn a customer demand (a specification) into a method of manufacture that can then be executed to meet the customer demand within the required lead-time and cost.

The ME has responsibility to continuously improve manufacturing methods in order to reduce lead-time, reduce cost and minimise the chance of non-conformance.

As highly skilled practitioners, MEs are expected to be involved in the operation of the manufacturing processes to deliver the final product.

Working with the research themes their practical insight will be used to influence technology roadmaps to ensure that future manufacturing capability is developed and deployed into the Workshop to further optimise our manufacturing methods.

Manufacturing Engineers will manage non-conformance, to create methods to bring non-conforming product back within specification.

All aspects of the role are to be carried out as an exemplar within the business in adhering to the MTC RIGHT way:

• Acting responsibly, putting MTC’s interests ahead of personal ambition;
• Providing inspirational leadership to all who come in contact with you;
• Delivering in the broadest sense a great working environment;
• Leading with humility, honesty and integrity in all that you do;
• Promoting teamwork, supporting through difficult times and collectively celebrating our successes.

The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) was established in 2010 as an independent Research & Technology Organisation (RTO) with the objective of bridging the gap between academia and industry – often referred to as ‘the valley of death’.

It represents one of the largest public sector investments in UK manufacturing and, after four years of planning and a 16 month build, the facility opened at Ansty Park in Coventry at the end of 2011.

In December 2011, there were 16 industrial members, 44 staff and just a few key pieces of equipment in the ‘workshop’.

Over the following 10+ years the MTC’s rapid growth has seen the expansion of our campus with the construction of three more facilities, including the opening of the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre and the National Centre for Additive Manufacturing.

Our role has also increased to cover not only R&D but also Training, Advanced Manufacturing Management and Factory Design.

We now have over 800 talented employees working with us.

During this time we have helped hundreds of companies across a range of industries and over 100 of them have become members of the MTC.
