About The Position

FALCATA Production Division is seeking a Mid-Level Manufacturing Engineer based in Huntsville, Alabama (Discovery). The division develops and provides products and services for radar, communication systems, sensors, antennas, and other electronics systems, serving missile, radar and sensor, communications, control systems, data acquisition, and signal processing markets. Its products range from application-specific integrated circuits to turnkey radar and communication systems, and it provides systems engineering support including theoretical analysis, requirements generation, interface control, and test planning, execution, and data analysis. The Manufacturing Engineer will analyze and optimize production processes, integrate technologies to improve efficiency and quality, and work with diverse teams to identify and remove bottlenecks in electronics manufacturing. The position supports production performance through assembly procedures, equipment introduction and employee training, process audits, shop-floor support, manufacturing plans, tooling requirements, engineering changes, and coordination of build-process changes. It also translates engineering intent, drawings, and configurations into work instructions and applies Design for Manufacturability and Design for Assembly techniques to new and existing products. The role includes mentoring and training junior engineers and technicians and supporting safety, quality, cost, schedule, technical, programmatic, and performance requirements.
