Senior NPI engineer

Senior New Product Introduction (NPI) Engineer Magnet Technology – Oxfordshire At Siemens Healthineers, we pioneer breakthroughs in healthcare. Our Magnet Technology business sits at the heart of advanced diagnostic imaging, developing and manufacturing world‑class magnet systems that enable earlier diagnosis, greater precision, and better patient outcomes. Working at the intersection of engineering excellence and healthcare innovation, you’ll be part of a collaborative, purpose‑driven organisation where your ideas, expertise, and leadership truly matter.

We are now seeking an experienced Senior NPI Engineer to play a key role in introducing complex, high‑value products into production across our established site in Eynsham, Oxford, and our state‑of‑the‑art Industry 4.0 facility in Bicester, Oxfordshire.

About the role: As a Senior NPI Engineer, you will lead the successful transition of new magnet technology products from development into full‑rate manufacturing. Acting as a critical bridge between R&D and Supply Chain Management, you will ensure that new products are robust, manufacturable, cost‑effective, and meet the highest standards of quality and performance.

You will work in a fast‑paced, technically complex manufacturing environment, motivating and supporting a high‑performing team while collaborating closely with cross‑functional stakeholders. Your work will have a direct impact on operational excellence, product reliability, and long‑term business success.

What you’ll be doing:

• Partnering closely with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) to ensure final product designs are suitable for scalable, repeatable manufacturing.
• Collaborating with design and R&D teams to enhance Design for Assembly (DFA) and define clear process engineering requirements that optimise labour utilisation and efficiency.
• Developing manufacturing processes from early concept through to production readiness, ensuring materials, components, and workflows are optimised for high yield and quality.
• Introducing, qualifying, and refining new manufacturing processes and equipment to support successful product launches and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Leading and contributing to DFMEA and PFMEA activities to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate technical and process risks.
• Establishing strong feedback loops across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain, sharing lessons learned to drive continuous improvement once products are in production.
• Supporting the operational success of both existing and new production facilities, contributing to standardisation, stability, and long‑term manufacturability.

What skills and experience you’ll bring:

• A degree in Engineering, Science, Manufacturing, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• Significant, hands‑on experience in manufacturing and process engineering within a complex or regulated environment.
• Proven experience leading and delivering New Product Introduction (NPI) projects, ensuring smooth transitions from development into production would be highly advantageous but isn't essential.
• Strong working knowledge of DFMEA and PFMEA methodologies, with the ability to apply them pragmatically to real‑world manufacturing challenges.
• Excellent problem‑solving and analytical skills, with a structured approach to identifying risks and implementing effective solutions.
• Clear, confident communication skills and a collaborative mindset, enabling you to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams and influence a wide range of stakeholders.

What’s on offer:

• Competitive base salary
• 26 days annual leave, with the option to buy up to 10 days and sell up to 5
• Up to 10% matched pension contributions
• BUPA Private Medical Insurance
• Bonus & Share Save Scheme
• Free‑to‑use on‑site gym
• 2 paid volunteering days per year
