Senior Electronics Manufacturing Engineer

Nordson Corporation•Allen, TX

About The Position

The Senior Electronics Manufacturing Engineer is a senior-level technical leader at a manufacturer of surgical solutions for the medical industry. The role is responsible for sustaining production and leading complex electrical and electromechanical projects, with system-level ownership of electrical performance across manufacturing, testing, field issues, and product changes. The engineer independently leads projects, mentors engineers and technicians, and resolves daily production issues while balancing strategic project execution with hands-on troubleshooting in a regulated medical device environment. The position provides engineering support for electrical and electromechanical systems, including PCBAs, sensors, test systems, and software-controlled subsystems. It leads design changes, sustaining engineering, validation, qualification, and engineering change activities, and works with cross-functional teams and suppliers to address failures and improve reliability. The role also supports compliance with applicable regulatory and quality requirements and continuous improvement initiatives. The work takes place in lab and production-floor environments and may require ESD precautions. The role may require sitting, standing, or bending for extended periods, regular computer and communication-tool use, and travel up to 10% to supplier or manufacturing sites.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.
Minimum of 8–10 years of experience in electrical or electromechanical engineering within a manufacturing or regulated environment.
Demonstrated experience independently leading projects while supporting active production lines.
Strong system-level understanding of electrical and electromechanical devices.
Proven ability to lead projects and technical teams without direct supervision.
Advanced troubleshooting skills at the board, subsystem, and system level.
Ability to balance long-term project work with urgent production support.
Experience with ECAD tools such as Altium, OrCAD, PADS, or equivalent.
Proficiency with electrical test equipment and automated test systems.
Strong technical writing and communication skills, including reports, validations, and ECO documentation.
Ability to work cross-functionally and communicate complex issues to non-technical stakeholders.

Master’s degree.
Medical device experience.

Responsibilities

Serve as the technical owner for electrical and electromechanical systems, including PCBAs, sensors, test systems, and software-controlled subsystems.
Independently lead medium-to-large cross-functional projects, defining scope, schedules, risks, and deliverables and driving execution through completion.
Provide day-to-day engineering support to production by responding to electrical failures, test issues, yield losses, and line stoppages.
Troubleshoot electrical and electronic issues to the component level using schematics, BOMs, test data, and diagnostic tools.
Support root cause investigations for production, supplier, and field failures; implement corrective actions and verify their effectiveness.
Own and execute electrical engineering change orders, including impact assessment, documentation, validation support, and implementation.
Lead design changes and sustaining engineering by translating requirements into electrical design updates, test strategies, and manufacturing outputs.
Support and lead validation and qualification activities (IQ/OQ/PQ/PPQ) for electrical test equipment, fixtures, and product changes.
Develop, review, and approve electrical test methods, LabVIEW-based or equivalent automated test systems, and in-circuit test strategies.
Partner with Quality, Operations, Supply Chain, and Field Service to resolve non-conformances, complaints, and recurring electrical issues.
Interface with electrical and electromechanical suppliers to investigate failures, improve designs, and support component qualification.
Analyze production and field data to identify trends, risks, and improvement opportunities; communicate findings through technical reports.
Mentor and provide technical guidance to Engineers I and II, technicians, and cross-functional team members.
Participate in NPI and sustaining-product design reviews, providing design-for-manufacturing, testability, and serviceability input.
Ensure compliance with FDA QSR, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and internal quality system procedures.
Apply structured problem-solving tools such as FMEA, Fault Tree, A3, and statistical analysis to improve reliability and reduce variability.
Support continuous improvement initiatives aligned with NBS Next, including standard work, problem-solving culture, and waste reduction.
