We have an exciting opportunity for someone to join our team here at Allied Universal as a NPI Engineer. As a fast paced and growing business we are looking for a hands-on NPI Engineer with a strong mechanical bias to bridge the gap between design and full scale production. This is a technical role: you will design and build the physical test fixtures, and then into the lab to lead the testing and validation of our newest products.

Key Responsibilities

• Fixture Design & Commissioning: Support in the design and physical build of custom test fixtures.
• Product Testing & Validation: Support the R&D team to execute test plans for new products, ensuring they meet mechanical specifications before they hit the production line.
• DFM (Design for Manufacture): Review electronic/mechanical product designs early, and recommend design changes to make them easier to build and test.
• Prototyping: Oversee the creation of prototypes, physically testing and validating that both the product and the production tooling meet performance specs.
• Process Documentation: Create clear work instructions and assembly procedures that make complex builds repeatable for the production team.
• Technical Troubleshooting: Review production issues, using a logical and hands on approach to fix any open issues.

The Ideal Candidate

• Practical Hand Skills: You understand how parts fit together and are proficient with hand tools and workshop machinery to build sturdy, reliable mechanical assemblies.
• CAD Proficiency: Experience in 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks) specifically for designing mechanical parts, jigs, or enclosures.
• Lab Experience: Comfortable working in a lab setting using mustimeters, sensors, or environmental chambers to validate product performance.
• Logical Problem Solver: You can look at a failure in the lab or on the line, diagnose whether it’s a part issue or a fixture issue, and implement a fix.
• Communication: The ability to translate 'lab data' into 'production reality' for both designers and operators.

Technical Skills & Knowledge

• Proven track record in Product Development or Manufacturing.
• Demonstrable experience in designing and commissioning test fixtures.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (machining, 3D printing, assembly).
• Scientific acumen and the ability to maintain a controlled testing environment.
• HNC or above in Electronic or Mechanical Engineerin
