You’ll spend most of your first six months on the floor. In that time you’ll bring precision machining, large-format LPBF and DED, and automated welding in house, and keep production far enough ahead of design that changes don’t stall the programme.

Over time the team will grow to cover manufacturing and M&P engineering, machining, welding, additive, test and supply chain.What we’re looking for
