• Enhanced parental leave: offers up to 26 weeks for maternity, adoption and shared parental leave -enhancements are available for paternity leave, neonatal leave and fertility testing and treatments
• Facilities: Fantastic site facilities including subsidised meals, free car parking and much more…

The opportunity:

This is a newly developed team, working to transform the way that defects are located and corrected within Circuit Card Assembly manufacturing, utilising state-of-the-art Flying Probe test equipment to find faults fast and improve the fault investigation process for the test engineering teams.

We are looking for a motivated and organised individual, who can work effectively both independently or as part of a wider team. A background in Electronic Engineering, alongside attention to detail and a methodical approach to test development are essential skills for the role. Any existing knowledge of Flying Probe systems (specifically SPEA systems) is welcomed but not essential.

You will work alongside experienced manufacturing test engineers and deliver new Flying Probe test packages for the circuit cards created at MBDA's complex technologies site in Bolton. Other aspects of the job involve delivering timely test package corrections and working on improvements to test time, test coverage and reliability of the Flying Probe systems.

Additionally, there is also scope within the role to develop your skills as a test engineer, working with the existing test engineering teams to diagnose faults down to component level and suggest remedial actions to ensure the high quality of our products is maintained.

MBDA Bolton is a friendly and inclusive manufacturing environment, with full training provided and wealth of knowledge and benefits within the business that will enable you to thrive at MBDA.

Key Responsibilities:

• Creation of new Flying Probe test packages: Using the SPEA 4050S2 test system, you will follow a well-documented development process, starting from an initial circuit card data-pack, through the import to Flying Probe, debugging of tests and statistical data analysis of results. This concludes with a reliable and robust test package that can be deployed to the manufacturing operations team to use.
• Correction and improvement of existing Flying Probe test packages: As our products evolve and updates are released, we are required to update and improve the existing test packages to accommodate any changes. Another responsibility will be improving the yield on our deployed test packages, by running statistical analysis on test results and making changes accordingly.
• Communication with stakeholders and cross-team working: As part of investigations and cross-team working, you will perform fault diagnosis down to component level on analogue and digital PCB assemblies using a wide range of both automated and manual test equipment including oscilloscopes, multi-meters, signal generators, etc.

What we're looking for from you:

A Formal technical Engineering/Craft Apprenticeship to NVQ Level 3/TR23/TR21 and a Formal further education certificate to Level 4 (HNC or equivalent in a relevant subject).

OR

A BEng/BSc in relevant Engineering/Technical Degree.

Key Skills

• Expertise in Electronics Test & Diagnosis: A strong theoretical and practical understanding of electrical/electronic measurement and test principles, test equipment and fault diagnosis techniques for electronic sub-assemblies and PCBs.
• Engineering Documentation Experience: An ability to interpret detailed schematics, drawings and test related documentation. Experience writing operator instructions and engineering manuals is desirable but not required.
• Test Equipment Experience: Hands-on experience using both manual and automated test equipment, preferably within a defence or similar high-reliability manufacturing environment.
• Flying Probe Systems Experience and Expertise (Desired but not required): Familiarity with Flying Probe development and debugging, including guarding methods, probe allocation and development principals.
