Job Summary
Design, validate and continuously improve physical workflows that enable safe, repeatable and efficient robotics data collection. Translate operational requirements into practical floor processes that improve productivity, quality and scalability, while eliminating recurring issues through structured problem-solving
Key Responsibilities
• Process design: Develop end-to-end physical workflows from concept and floor trial through approval, deployment and stabilisation.
• Process optimisation: Improve cycle time, throughput, utilisation, quality, ergonomics and operational consistency across existing workflows.
• Process governance: Create and maintain process maps, standard work, SOPs, control points, acceptance criteria and change records.
• Operational validation: Run floor trials, observe execution and confirm that processes are practical, safe, repeatable and scalable before approval.
• Root-cause and corrective action: Investigate productivity, quality and process failures using 5 Whys, fishbone and Pareto analysis; define and verify corrective and preventive actions.
• Performance improvement: Use operational data, time studies and floor observations to remove bottlenecks, waste, variation, rework, waiting time and avoidable interventions.
• Collaboration and capability: Work with operations, quality, training, technical and programme teams to implement change, and coach teams in standard work and continuous improvement.
Skill Requirements
Location and Working Hours
• Location: London, UK [Onsite Only - No Hybrid or remote]
• Working hours: Shift-aligned working pattern.
Skills and Qualifications
• Education: Degree, diploma or equivalent practical experience in Industrial, Manufacturing, Mechanical, Production or Process Engineering, Operations Management, Quality Engineering or a related discipline.
• Domain experience: Hands-on experience designing and improving physical workflows in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, logistics, warehousing, laboratories, robotics or other technology-enabled operational environments.
• Methods and tools: Practical knowledge of Lean and Six Sigma, process mapping, standard work, value-stream analysis, time studies, KPI interpretation, root-cause analysis and corrective-action management. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt is desirable.
• Core capabilities: Strong analytical, facilitation and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to challenge assumptions, convert complex requirements into workable processes and clearly communicate change to operational teams.
