About The Position

Systel's recent growth in embedded systems has created a significant increase in cable assembly demand, especially for new products. In order to enhance our prototype development, the company recently started their own internal cable assembly team, which has dramatically aided our cable design refinement and reduced production rework time in time sensitive situations. Systel is looking to grow our internal cables team, but first needs a leader capable of streamlining our new internal cables processes. We are looking for a hands-on leader who is capable of improving cable assembly techniques, streamlining interdepartmental scheduling processes, and growing our team. This role will report to the Production Manager at Systel. This position is full-time onsite (in-person) at our headquarters in Sugar Land, TX.
