A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an Electro-Mechanical Technician to join a growing engineering team based in Cambridge. This is a full time, permanent role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assemble high-quality prototype and electro-mechanical assemblies.
• Prepare delicate mechanical samples using precision assembly techniques, including gluing, soldering and fine hand assembly.
• Support the manufacture of engineering prototypes throughout all stages of development.
• Work closely with design engineers to investigate prototype failures and assist with root cause analysis.
• Support engineering evaluations and product development activities.
• Review, update and improve prototype build instructions and assembly documentation.
• Provide practical feedback to engineering teams to improve manufacturability and assembly processes.
• Load samples onto laboratory test rigs and carry out routine testing in accordance with standard operating procedures.
• Support performance, reliability and environmental testing activities.
• Accurately record, analyse and report test results.
• Assist with troubleshooting and first-line investigation of prototype and test failures.
• Inspect precision mechanical components against engineering drawings and specifications.
• Verify component quality and dimensional accuracy prior to assembly.
• Maintain accurate build records and associated documentation.
• Monitor prototype stock levels and maintain inventory for development activities.
• Raise requests for replacement components, consumables, tools and workshop equipment.
• Operate and maintain SLA and FDM 3D printers, including slicing, printing and post-processing.
• Maintain a safe, organised and efficient workshop.

The ideal candidate must have:

• Previous experience in electro-mechanical assembly.
• Experience building engineering prototypes from written and verbal instructions.
• Experience of soldering, including SMD components.
• Good general workshop skills, including the use of hand tools and metalworking equipment.
• Experience inspecting precision mechanical components.
• The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
• A strong understanding of mechanical assembly techniques.
• Experience supporting engineering investigations and debugging activities.
• Inventory management and routine purchasing experience.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word.
• Familiarity with viewing and interrogating 3D CAD models, ideally using SolidWorks.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to consistently carry out repetitive precision work to a high standard.
