- 3+ years of relevant engineering experience in a manufacturing environment required.
- Experience supporting both product development and production operations preferred.
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (e.g., PCB assembly, machining, wiring, electromechanical assembly).
- Proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and familiarity with eCAD preferred.
- Hands-on experience with diagnostic and measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, calipers, torque tools, etc.).
- Knowledge of Lean principles, DFM/DFA, and continuous improvement practices.
- Strong troubleshooting skills across electrical, mechanical, or mechatronic systems.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, GD&T, electrical schematics, and wiring diagrams to guide manufacturability and process decisions.
- Familiarity with ERP/MES systems (Syteline experience a plus) for production documentation and data management.
- Understanding of ESD control practices and safety protocols in a manufacturing environment.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in NPI environments and supporting full product lifecycle.
- Familiarity with automated manufacturing and test equipment.
- Exposure to regulatory/agency standards (UL, RoHS, IPC, ISO).
- Knowledge of robotics, motion control, or AR/VR system integration a plus.
- Working knowledge of pneumatic systems and controls.
- Familiarity with test platforms such as LabVIEW or Python for automated test/process development.
- Knowledge of IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620, or J-STD-001 workmanship standards a plus.
Responsibilities
- Develop, implement, and optimize manufacturing processes to support NPI and ongoing production.
- Partner with design engineering teams to ensure manufacturability, testability, and compliance with product requirements.
- Create and maintain process documentation including work instructions, assembly procedures, and tooling requirements.
- Support and trouble-shoot products that have been released to full-rate production.
- Support prototype builds, pilot runs, and transition to full-rate production.
- Identify, evaluate, and implement improvements to reduce cost, improve quality, and increase efficiency.
- Participate in Material Review Board (MRB) and Non-Conforming Material (NCM) processes; support root cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions (RCCA/CAPA).
- Collaborate with Quality Engineering to ensure products meet industry standards and customer expectations.
- Lead or participate in Lean/continuous improvement initiatives.
- Provide hands-on support for troubleshooting production equipment, test systems, and product assembly issues.
- Provide technical training and support for production operators and technicians.
- Document processes, routings, and nonconformances in the ERP system (Syteline) and manufacturing assembly procedures.
- Develop and optimize programs for automated production equipment (e.g., adhesive dispensing systems) to support repeatable, high-quality builds.
- Interface with customer portals and product qualification/test systems to support NPI activities and production releases.
