Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Manufacturing & Process Engineering

• Develop and optimize manufacturing processes for electronic assemblies, CCAs, and box builds.
• Create clear manufacturing work instructions that translate engineering drawings into simple, actionable steps for assemblers and technicians.
• Review engineering documentation (schematics, BOMs, drawings, ECOs) and ensure production alignment.
• Support prototype builds and transition new products into full‑rate production.
• Specify tooling, fixtures, and equipment needed for efficient assembly and testing.

Production Support & Troubleshooting

• Provide hands‑on support to resolve build issues on the production floor.
• Perform root‑cause analysis on failures and implement corrective actions.
• Collaborate with test technicians to troubleshoot electronic and functional test issues.
• Train operators and technicians on new processes, equipment, and product changes.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify and implement process improvements to reduce cost, improve yield, and enhance throughput.
• Analyze workflow, space utilization, and labor efficiency to support operational goals.
• Participate in Lean, Six Sigma, and TPM activities across the site.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with design engineering to influence manufacturability and resolve technical issues.
• Support Quality Assurance to maintain high product yield and compliance.
• Assist Sales, Purchasing, and Program teams with technical information and production planning.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, preferably in aerospace, defense, or electronics manufacturing.
• Strong electronics background including troubleshooting, schematic interpretation, and understanding of CCAs and electronic assemblies.
• Experience developing manufacturing processes and writing work instructions.
• Proficiency with SolidWorks for tooling, fixture, or mechanical interface design.
• Knowledge of PCB design principles for high‑speed circuitry.
• Effective communication and teamwork skills with the ability to support production personnel.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Electrical, Manufacturing, Mechanical, or related).
• U.S. Person status required due to ITAR regulations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Altium Designer or similar PCB design tools.
• Lean/Six Sigma training or certification.
• Familiarity with Industry 4.0 concepts and digital manufacturing tools.
