About the Role
Join Oxford Instruments’ Materials Analysis business unit, where we design and manufacture advanced benchtop systems that enable scientists and industry to better understand and analyse materials.

As a Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll play a key role in supporting the production of our benchtop NMR products—ensuring they are built efficiently, to the highest quality standards, and ready to meet the needs of customers across research, academia, and industry.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Provide hands-on engineering support to production, ensuring quality products are delivered on schedule
  • Analyse and improve manufacturing processes, identifying waste and driving continuous improvement
  • Lead initiatives using Lean and Six Sigma to improve yield, reliability, and efficiency
  • Monitor and improve key metrics such as product yield and returns (wRMA)
  • Support New Product Introduction (NPI), ensuring products and processes are production-ready and repeatable
  • Develop and maintain work instructions, inspection criteria, and manufacturing documentation
  • Collaborate with engineering, supply chain, and production teams to resolve issues and implement improvements
  • Support supplier performance across cost, quality, and delivery
  • Contribute to shop floor layout and tooling design to support evolving product needs
  • Champion safe working practices, 5S, and operational excellence

What We’re Looking For
Your Experience & Skills
  • Degree/HND in Manufacturing, Electronics Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • Proven experience applying Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement tools
  • Strong structured problem-solving skills
  • Knowledge of ISO 9000 quality systems
  • Experience with NPI, DfX, and product lifecycle management
  • Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems (BOMs, routings, etc.)
  • Experience working with precision or scientific instrumentation is highly advantageous

Your Attributes
  • Strong communicator, able to influence across teams
  • Proactive, driven, and solutions-focused
  • Passionate about continuous improvement and delivering results
  • Collaborative with a positive, can-do mindset

Why Join Materials Analysis at Oxford Instruments?
  • Be part of a globally recognised technology leader in scientific instrumentation
  • Work on innovative benchtop NMR products with real-world impact
  • Collaborate with talented engineers and scientists in a purpose-driven environment
  • Opportunity to shape manufacturing excellence and grow your career
