- Attractive base salary plus super
- Hybrid working arrangements
- Work across electronics, manufacturing and product improvement

Good engineering doesn’t stop once a new product has been designed. It’s about making sure that product can be manufactured consistently.

That the documentation is right. That changes are properly managed.

That quality issues are investigated.

And that the product continues to perform once it leaves the building.

That’s where this Sustaining and Production Engineer role with Chamberlain sits.

You’ll be part of a local Somersby engineering team, backed by a global leader in intelligent access, working on products used across residential, commercial and industrial environments.

Think garage door openers, gate operators, commercial access systems and smart connected technology.

This role picks up where the NPD process leaves off.

You’ll help take newly developed products into repeatable manufacturing, while also owning engineering changes and improvements across Chamberlain’s existing product range.

You’ll be close to the product, close to manufacturing and close to the technical decisions that keep everything moving.

And that’s what makes it interesting.

You’ll have global backing, a close-knit local team, hybrid working, and the chance to work on products where electronics, controls, mechanical systems and real-world performance all come together.

If you like practical engineering, solving problems and seeing your work translate into a better product or manufacturing process, this is worth a look.

About The Opportunity

As the Sustaining and Production Engineer, you’ll work across everything that happens after the initial NPD process, helping turn new designs into products that can be manufactured reliably and at scale.

Some days you could be managing an engineering change, updating drawings, BOMs or technical documentation before a product moves into manufacturing.

Other days, you might be supporting testing, investigating a product return,



working through a quality issue or helping validate a replacement component with a supplier.

There’s a strong project ownership piece here.

You’ll own the change management process from start to finish, while managing multiple smaller sustaining, production and continuous improvement projects at once.

You’ll work closely with engineering, manufacturing, quality, service and external suppliers to make sure changes are properly assessed, tested, documented and introduced into production.

You could be investigating an issue with a PCB, supporting verification and validation testing, improving a production process or helping remove and replace a component within an existing product.

It’s technical, but it’s also practical.

You’ll be thinking about how the product is built, how it is tested, why something may have failed and what needs to change to improve its quality, cost or performance.

You’ll also help make sure products continue to meet performance, regulatory, quality, cost and timing expectations throughout their lifecycle.

So while your electronics or mechatronics foundation matters, this role goes beyond the design pack.

It’s about making sure the product can be manufactured effectively and continues to work in the real world.

The Business

Chamberlain Group is a global leader in intelligent access, creating products that make homes, businesses and commercial spaces safer, smarter and easier to access.

Their products sit across garage door openers, gate operators, commercial door systems and connected smart technology.

Globally, they’re established, cutting-edge and future focused. Locally,



their Somersby site gives you access to a proper product environment, with engineering, manufacturing, operations, service and commercial teams working closely together.

It’s a business with global structure and investment, but a local team feel.

You’ll be joining a “one team” environment where engineers are not hidden away from the product.

You’ll be close to testing, manufacturing, suppliers, service feedback and the people helping bring these products to market.

About You

You’re an electronic, electrical or mechatronic engineer who enjoys working with physical products and solving practical problems.

You may have come from electronics, smart devices, IoT, appliances, industrial products, consumer products, manufacturing, MedTech, automation or another physical product environment.

You’ll ideally have around two to three years of engineering experience, with some exposure to manufacturing, production, quality, testing, sustaining engineering or NPD.

Project management experience will be important.

You’ll be comfortable owning a process from start to finish, keeping multiple smaller projects moving and coordinating with the different people involved.

Experience with engineering change processes, technical documentation, quality investigations, suppliers or manufacturing systems would be valuable.

An understanding of PCBs would also be helpful, but you don’t need to be an expert in PCB design.

Chamberlain can help you develop the product-specific knowledge you need.

You don’t need to come from access control.

But you do need to bring a strong technical foundation, a practical mindset and the ability to work across teams to turn engineering changes into reliable manufacturing outcomes.
