Location: Stoke on Trent

Salary: £38k - £45k plus excellent benefits

A local manufacturing company that specialises in manufacturing uPVC and Aluminium windows and doors are now looking for a NPI Engineer who specialises in New Product Introduction (NPI)

NPI Engineer – Overview:

We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive NPI Engineer with strong experience in New Product Introduction (NPI) and Bill of Materials (BOM) control to join our team. The ideal candidate will play a key role in developing and optimizing manufacturing processes, ensuring seamless product launches, and maintaining accurate BOMs to support production efficiency and quality.

NPI Engineer - Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and support New Product Introduction projects by collaborating with technical, manufacturing, and quality teams to develop efficient and scalable production processes.

  • Develop, document, and implement process workflows, work instructions, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for new and existing products.

  • Manage and maintain accurate Bill of Materials (BOM) data in the ERP system, ensuring alignment with engineering specifications and production requirements.

  • Analyse production processes to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and cost-saving opportunities; implement improvements accordingly.

  • Coordinate cross-functional communication between Technical, procurement, manufacturing, and quality teams during product development and launch phases.

  • Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions related to process or BOM discrepancies.

  • Support pilot runs and process validation activities to ensure products meet quality and performance standards.

  • Monitor process metrics and provide regular reports on NPI progress and BOM status to stakeholders.

  • Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory standards throughout the manufacturing process.

    NPI Engineer – Person Requirements:

    The ideal candidate must come from the Engineering Industry as a NPI Engineer. You will also have the following skills, qualifications or experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.

  • Proven experience in process engineering with a focus on New Product Introduction.

  • Strong knowledge of Bill of Materials management and control within ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, etc.).

  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes, lean manufacturing principles, and quality standards.

  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and organizational skills.

  • Strong communication and teamwork abilities to collaborate effectively across departments.

  • Proficiency in CAD software, process simulation tools, and MS Office Suite.

  • Certification in Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, or related process improvement methodologies.

How to Write a Semiconductor Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Semiconductors sit at the heart of modern technology. From consumer electronics and automotive systems to AI, defence, telecoms and advanced manufacturing, semiconductor professionals play a critical role in designing, fabricating and testing the components that power the global economy. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Semiconductor job adverts often receive either very few applications or a high volume of unsuitable ones. Experienced engineers and scientists frequently ignore adverts that feel vague, generic or disconnected from the realities of semiconductor development and manufacturing. In most cases, the issue is not a shortage of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Semiconductor professionals are detail-oriented, process-driven and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals weak technical understanding and unclear expectations. A well-written one signals credibility, precision and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a semiconductor job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Semiconductor Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are aiming for semiconductor jobs in the UK it is easy to assume you need a PhD level maths toolkit. In practice most roles do not. Whether you are targeting device engineering, process engineering, yield engineering, product engineering, test, reliability, RF, analogue, digital design, EDA, packaging or applications engineering, the maths you actually use clusters into a few workhorse areas. This guide strips it back to the topics that genuinely help you get hired & perform well on the job: Exponents, logs & “physics curves” (Arrhenius style behaviour, subthreshold, leakage) Calculus in plain English (rates, gradients, differential equations intuition) Device electrostatics & transport basics (Poisson equation intuition, drift & diffusion) Complex numbers for AC & RF (impedance, phasors, frequency response) Signals maths (Fourier intuition, bandwidth, noise density) Probability & statistics for manufacturing (SPC, DOE, yield models, reliability basics) Basic optimisation habits (fitting models, tuning trade-offs, making decisions with data) You will also get a 6 week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.

Neurodiversity in Semiconductor Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Semiconductors sit quietly at the heart of everything: phones, cars, medical devices, satellites, data centres & everyday appliances. Behind every chip are people designing circuits, running fabs, testing wafers, modelling devices & solving problems most users never see. Those people are not all “textbook” engineers – & that’s a good thing. If you’re neurodivergent (for example living with ADHD, autism or dyslexia), you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a high-precision, high-reliability industry. In reality, many of the traits that made school or traditional offices hard can be huge strengths in semiconductor work: intense focus on detail, pattern-spotting in test data, creative thinking around yield & process issues. This guide is written for semiconductor job seekers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a semiconductor context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to chip & fab roles Workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you should have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in the semiconductor industry – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
