Production Engineer

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated • Rancho Cordova, CA

14d • $90,800 - $121,100

About The Position

Join our advanced manufacturing team supporting high-reliability electronic products, where your expertise will directly impact yield, quality, and production excellence. In this role, you will own and continuously improve post-exhaust assembly processes for Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs)—ensuring every build is safe, consistent, and optimized for first-time pass yield. Working closely with cross-functional engineering and operations teams, you’ll be a key driver of scalable, precision manufacturing from the shop floor to documentation control.

Requirements

• Strong ability to define and document manufacturing processes and assembly methods – required
• Experience creating procedures, travelers, and tooling in a production environment – required
• Proven understanding of shop-floor operations and operator workflows – required
• Experience in high-reliability manufacturing environments – required
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering (or related) – required

Nice To Haves

• Ability to analyze process performance and drive yield improvements – preferred
• Experience with vacuum electronics, RF assemblies, or high-voltage systems – preferred
• Familiarity with contamination-sensitive processes and traceability systems – preferred

Responsibilities

• Define, validate, and own post-exhaust assembly processes, including preparation, testing, and final packaging stages
• Develop and maintain clear, unambiguous assembly procedures to ensure consistent execution
• Create and manage travelers and routings that capture critical data for traceability and yield improvement
• Specify, release, and validate production tooling to ensure precision, repeatability, and product integrity
• Drive first-time pass yield by embedding control points and critical parameter tracking into processes
• Partner with engineering and quality teams to incorporate lessons learned into procedures and documentation
• Support implementation of new processes and tooling on the shop floor, including operator training
• Ensure alignment between released documentation and actual production practices
• Support audits and ensure compliance with configuration control and quality system requirements
• Participate in engineering change orders and process improvement initiatives

Benefits

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge, high-reliability technologies
• Collaborative, cross-functional engineering environment
• Strong visibility and impact on manufacturing performance and continuous improvement
• Career growth in advanced manufacturing and engineering leadership
