Position Title: Manufacturing Engineer – UAS, Electrical Focus Location: Irvine, CA Work Arrangement: 8am – 5pm, on-site Position Summary: The Manufacturing Engineer II (Electrical Systems) supports day to day production of electro mechanical and avionics assemblies within our airborne systems manufacturing environment. This role has an electrical-focused scope and works closely with avionics and assembly technicians to mature electrical build processes, improve harness and PCBA readiness, and resolve production issues under an AS9100-compliant QMS. You will help transition products from late stage prototypes into stable production by improving documentation, optimizing test workflows, designing simple electrical fixtures, and supporting first-article builds. This position is ideal for an engineer with a strong electrical foundation who enjoys hands-on manufacturing, problem-solving, and working directly on the production floor.

Requirements

• 3–4 years of experience in electrical or electromechanical manufacturing, aerospace, unmanned systems, or similar hardware environments.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical and electronic schematics, wiring diagrams, PCBA documentation, and connector/harness drawings.
• Experience supporting technicians on the production floor, including performing redlines and troubleshooting build issues.
• Familiarity with electrical hardware such as PCBs, wiring harnesses, connectors, avionics modules, and test equipment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and comfort working hands-on with hardware.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering

Nice To Haves

• Experience and training with Altium is not required, but will be considered a strong plus.
• Exposure to mechanical CAD for simple fixture design, preferrably SolidWorks.
• Exposure to Visio Professional.
• Experience with ATPs, electrical test workflows, or bench testing.
• Experience in regulated, low-volume high mix aerospace or defense manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Electrical Manufacturing Support & Documentation Create and update work instructions, wiring diagrams, and electrical assembly workflows, ensuring accurate, repeatable production.
• Redline documentation during builds and support correction of discrepancies with Quality and Design.
• Support the creation and updates of electrical BOMs, routers, and item cards.
• Assist technicians by interpreting schematics, PCBA documentation, and harness drawings.
• Production Build Support Provide hands-on support on the manufacturing floor to troubleshoot wiring issues, connector/cable assembly challenges, PCBA installation concerns, and electrical test anomalies.
• Participate in first article electrical builds, collecting feedback and ensuring manufacturability of electrical subsystems.
• Serve as a bridge between design engineering and production when electrical build issues arise.
• Test & Fixture Development Support ATP (Acceptance Test Procedure) execution by assisting with test setups, logging issues, and helping refine supplemental test instructions.
• Design simple electrical fixtures, breakout cables, and test aids to support repeatable electrical testing and harness verification
• Continuous Improvement Identify opportunities to streamline electrical assembly steps, reduce rework, and increase test clarity.
• Support small CI initiatives such as reducing cable build times, improving harness routing consistency, or standardizing connector assembly workflows.
• Contribute to ECN/ECR updates for electrical components and drawings.
• Technical Breadth & Collaboration Interpret electrical schematics, PCBA drawings, harness assembly documentation, and avionics integration diagrams.
• Work with electro mechanical assemblies involving harnesses, connectors, LRUs, PCBs, avionics hardware, and simple structural components.
• Apply basic mechanical understanding where needed to support integrated electro mechanical builds.
