This is a brilliant opportunity to join a specialist engineering business working on bespoke, cutting-edge electronic systems.

You’ll be operating in a prototype / R&D environment, building high-spec wiring assemblies and playing a key role in bridging Engineering and Production.

If you enjoy varied, hands-on work where no two builds are the same — this is one worth a look.

Why join?

• Work across the full engineering lifecycle (not just repeat production)

• Flexible working hours around core times

• Paid overtime or time off in lieu (up to ~24 extra days per year)

• Strong pension (up to 14% total contribution)

• Private medical cover

• Ongoing training & development (IPC, technical upskilling, etc.)

• Supportive, low-bureaucracy environment where your input actually matters

Prototype Wire Person Duties

• Prototype wiring, harness assembly, and cable routing

• Wiring and terminating D-sub (D-type) connectors and cable assemblies

• Soldering, crimping, and general bench assembly

• Building electromechanical assemblies from drawings and schematics

• Reading and interpreting schematic and wiring diagrams, technical drawings, and BOMs

• Supporting prototype builds and engineering changes

• Carrying out rework and modifications during development stages

• Basic inspection and testing (continuity, visual checks, etc.)

• Working closely with engineering teams to resolve build and design issues

• Following job cards, test plans, and technical instructions

What they’re looking for

Essential:

• Proven experience in wiring, cable assembly, or electro-mechanical build

• Ability to read and interpret schematic and wiring drawings

• Experience with D-sub (D-type) connector wiring and termination

• Strong soldering and crimping ability

• High attention to detail and quality standards

• Good hands-on bench skills

Desirable:

• IPC-A-610 / IPC-A-620 experience

• Experience in a prototype or R&D environment

• Basic electrical testing (multimeters, continuity testing)

• Mechanical assembly experience
