Production Engineer

Senra Systems•Cypress, CA

18d•$75,000 - $85,000•Onsite

About The Position

At Senra Systems, we believe that the future of manufacturing lies not in automation, but in configuration. We supercharge electrical wire harness manufacturing through software configuration, transforming skilled assembly tasks into high-throughput production lines. We enable customers to design what they want, when they want it and deliver harness builds at record-breaking speed. We’re building a dedicated Production Engineering function at Senra Systems – a team that owns the floor, not the desk. As a Production Engineer, you will be embedded in manufacturing as the technical resource our assembly technicians rely on during active production. While Manufacturing Engineers own the front-end documentation – BOMs, Engineering Masters, work instructions, and formboards – you own execution. You’ll troubleshoot builds in real time, support first articles, verify cable and component kits, disposition non-conformances, and serve as the day-to-day engineering presence that keeps production moving. This role reports to the Lead Production Engineer and works closely with the Manufacturing Engineering, Production and Quality teams.

Requirements

1–3 years of hands-on experience in wire harness or cable assembly manufacturing
Working knowledge of wire harness assembly processes: wire prep, crimping, soldering, connector insertion, and harness routing
Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standards
Ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, assembly drawings, and work instructions
Strong attention to detail and a quality-first mindset
Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident)

Nice To Haves

Prior experience as a manufacturing, build or sustaining engineer
Extensive technical authoring experience i.e. developing engineering masters, dispositioning non conformances, etc.
High degree of ownership, self-starting and proactive with a bias toward action and solutions
Experience in an aerospace or defense manufacturing environment
Exposure to NASA 8739.4 workmanship requirements
Familiarity with MIL-spec connectors and contacts (D-sub, LEMO, Glenair, Amphenol, etc.)
IPC/WHMA-A-620 CIS or CIT certification
Experience with NCR or nonconformance management workflows

Responsibilities

Floor Troubleshooting & Real-Time Support
Serve as the on-floor technical resource during active production – resolving assembly issues, documentation discrepancies, and build questions without halting throughput
Identify and escalate systemic issues to the Lead PE or ME team with clear, structured documentation
Participate in root cause analysis and corrective action implementation for recurring production issues
NCR Disposition
Review and disposition non-conformances generated on the floor with documented rationale (use-as-is, rework, or scrap)
Maintain NCR aging within SLA; escalate items that require engineering disposition beyond your scope
Coordinate with Quality on in-process inspection holds and final disposition sign-off
First Article & First Build Support
Provide hands-on engineering support during first articles and new part number introductions
Walk the floor during first builds, verify documentation accuracy, and identify gaps before they become production issues
Capture redlines and documentation feedback and submit to the ME team in a structured, timely manner
Kit Verification & Material Flow
Audit incoming cable and component kits against the build package before they reach the floor
Flag shortages, substitutions, or discrepancies and coordinate resolution with kitting, supply chain and engineering
Technician Support & Mentorship
Answer technical questions from assembly technicians on wire prep, crimping, connector insertion, splicing, and harness routing
Coach to IPC/WHMA-A-620 and NASA 8739.4 workmanship standards; recognize and address non-conforming work at the source
Contribute to a culture of quality ownership on the floor – every technician should know what good looks like
