Senior Electronics Manufacturing Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Collaborate with Design Engineering to provide DFM/DFT input from concept through release; deliver clear, prioritized inputs to improve electrical designs for manufacturability, assembly, testability, and cost for…
• Lead optimization of electrical manufacturing, assembly, and test processes for new and existing products (e.g., avionics, power distribution, RF components, embedded systems, PCBAs, motors, controllers, cable…
• Develop, validate, release, and continuously improve manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, process flows, routings, control plans, and test procedures.
• Troubleshoot production and test issues across assemblies and systems; perform root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
• Support development, validation, and sustainment of electrical test systems and fixtures to meet performance and OEE requirements.
• Collaborate with Quality, Supply Chain, and suppliers to support product qualification, component availability, and inspection/test strategies (including PFMEA and control plans).
• Identify, evaluate, and industrialize automation opportunities for high-volume assembly and test; support specification, layout, commissioning, and ramp-up of semi- and fully automated workcells and lines.
• Define and validate production tooling, fixturing, and gaging (e.g., assembly jigs, test fixtures, torque tools, poka-yoke devices) to enable safe, repeatable, and efficient builds.

Job requirements

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, or related engineering discipline with 8+ years’ experience directly supporting NPI and sustaining electrical manufacturing;
• Demonstrated success leading DFM/DFT and PFMEA cross-functional design-to-manufacturing efforts.
• Strong NPI/industrialization experience (prototype/pilot/ramp/sustainment) including line readiness, documentation, ramp, and continuous improvement.
• Experience supporting high-volume, high-throughput manufacturing, including designing and scaling automated or semi-automated assembly and test lines.
• Demonstrated experience defining automation equipment requirements specifications and acceptance criteria (URS), supporting capital justifications, and participating in FAT/SAT, process validation, and production ramp…
• Working familiarity with automation technologies and metrics (robotics/cobots, vision systems, automated torque/dispense, conveyors, PLC/HMI concepts, OEE and downtime analysis).
• Hands-on experience defining requirements for manufacturing tooling, fixtures, and gages; coordinating design/fabrication, acceptance testing, and release into production.
• Working knowledge of built-in quality methods (quality at the source, poka-yoke, control plans, PFMEA, gage R&R, and in-process checks) and partnering with Quality to drive capability and reduce escapes.
