Job Description:

Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Component Engineer to join our innovative engineering team. The Component Engineer plays a key role in shaping and managing part number set-ups, configurations, and a range of technical processes that keep operations running smoothly. Working with both franchised and non-franchised suppliers, this role is the go-to point for resolving technical queries from customers, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and confidence in every response. Maintaining detailed records and keeping the MRP system up to date will be central to daily activities.

This is a dynamic position that blends technical product expertise with investigative skill. You'll need to know where to source technical data, how to verify it, and how to make it accessible across the organization. While the role is primarily desk-based, there will be occasions that call for hands-on product inspection and verification—perfect for someone who enjoys both analytical and practical challenges.

Responsibilities

  • Manages product files within the MRP system, including introducing new products and maintaining accurate BOM information in line with internal processes.
  • Handles related tasks such as customer aliases, specifications, and part-number administration.
  • Maintains strong awareness of supported product categories and ranges, ensuring that staff have access to appropriate technical resources.
  • Supports teams with technical queries regarding product capabilities requested by customers.
  • Reviews customer-specific drawings as enquiries come in, helping the sales team identify qualified products or manufacturers.
  • Translates technical requirements into the MRP system to provide clear guidance to the Purchasing team.
  • Updates the MRP system with information about electronic component manufacturers and distributors worldwide, beyond franchised sources.
  • Assists with identifying appropriate commodity codes and ensuring these are correctly reflected in the MRP system.
  • Ensures the organization has sufficient resources for product inspection, including maintaining a library of catalogues, datasheets, and technical drawings.
  • Receives, verifies, logs, and stores technical drawings from customers and suppliers, ensuring they are accessible to all staff.
  • Contributes to part-number processing activities as required.
  • Leads or supports physical inspection tasks, assisting inspectors and the quality department based on workload and priorities.

Skills

  • Possesses strong knowledge of electrical component types, manufacturers, and global distribution channels.
  • Understands how to navigate and utilize internal information systems, including data entry, updates, and retrieval tools.
  • Demonstrates solid understanding of product technical features and benefits and can communicate them clearly both verbally and in writing.
  • Approaches tasks with curiosity, always aiming for clarity and accuracy in information.
  • Works methodically with strong attention to detail; enjoys organizing information and improving the efficiency and reliability of data retrieval.
  • Communicates effectively and supports colleagues by providing accurate, timely product information.
  • Manages time well and exercises sound judgement when prioritizing and responding to team needs.
