MBRYONICS is at the forefront of free space optical communications.
Our product portfolio covers a wide range of emerging technologies from photonic integrated circuits to advanced optical systems and embedded software solutions.
Our optical communications systems are integrated and deployed in satellite communications systems.
The work is exciting and challenging and is at the forefront of the technology domains.
As part of our expansion, we are currently looking for a suitably motivated
Operations Support Technician
to join our group.
The Operations Support Technician is a hands-on role that will be
critical to supporting the design, development and implementation of manufacturing processes in Mbryonics, as we start our journey to commercial manufacturing.
Key requirements of this role will be to support the implementation of processes that will ensure manufacturing capability and product quality, and that are scalable in line with our production ramp to meet demand.
The role will work within the operations team, as part of the production and process engineering function, and will liaise with the quality, design and technical teams to successfully develop and improve our manufacturing capability.
Part of the requirements for the role will be to actively participate in the assembly process and documentation generation (SOP's, WI's and Test Documents) through the engineering build phases, which will also ensure that a full understanding of the process is gained as we develop requirements for each process step.
Ongoing, a key function of the role will be to provide daily technical support to ensure continuity for the assembly process and team.
