About The Position

Teledyne ETM seeks an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to join their team in Newark, CA. This role involves building high-power microwave and high-energy X-Ray products for demanding industrial, scientific, defense, and medical applications. The ideal candidate is hands-on, thrives at the intersection of engineering and production, and is adept at diagnosing complex issues, improving processes, and enabling successful product launches. This position reports into Engineering but is closely aligned with Manufacturing, acting as a key technical leader on the production floor and a critical contributor to New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts from prototype through production ramp.

Requirements

B.S. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
5+ years in manufacturing/test engineering or production support for high-power electronics and/or RF systems
Strong hands-on troubleshooting skills (bench to system level)
Experience with RF and electronic test equipment
Ability to interpret schematics, drawings, and technical documentation
Effective communication with the ability to bridge engineering and production teams
Applicants must be either a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, legal permanent resident, asylee, refugee or must be eligible to apply for and obtain the appropriate export control license from the U.S. Department of State

Nice To Haves

Experience with new product transfer to manufacturing
RF amplifiers, pulsed power, or high-voltage systems experience
Familiarity with automated test systems (ATE, LabVIEW, etc.)
Familiarity with encapsulated / potted electronics
Experience in regulated environments (ISO 9001, AS9100)
Lean / Six Sigma or formal root cause methodology experience

Responsibilities

Own production support: Troubleshoot and resolve issues across RF, high-voltage, and power electronic systems at component, board, and system levels.
Drive root cause & corrective action: Lead structured investigations and implement effective CAPA.
Lead NPI execution: Support prototype and pilot builds, ensuring smooth transition from engineering to production. Identify manufacturing risks early and drive mitigation plans. Develop initial assembly flows, test strategies, and process documentation. Collaborate with engineering on DFM and design readiness for production.
Build and improve manufacturing processes: Develop, document, and optimize processes under formal change control (ECOs).
Enable robust testing: Use RF and electronic instrumentation (oscilloscopes, spectrum/network analyzers, power meters, HV systems) to ensure repeatable production testing.
Elevate the team: Train and coach assemblers and technicians to improve diagnostics, reporting, and execution quality.
Advance automation: Develop and implement fixtures, tooling, and automated test systems to increase efficiency and consistency.
Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with Engineering, Quality, and Operations to drive product maturity, yield improvement, and production readiness.
Use data to drive decisions: Monitor yield, analyze trends, and implement improvements to quality and throughput.
