Senior Manufacturing Engineer – Subsystems and Harnessing
Aalo Atomics•Austin, TX
•Onsite
About The Position
We're looking for a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to own the manufacturing and assembly of our electrical subsystems and wire harnessing. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who is equally comfortable defining production processes and standing at the bench wiring a panel. You'll set the quality bar for all electrical and I&C (instrumentation & controls) scope, scale our builds from prototype to production, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with technicians to keep hardware moving.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent hands-on experience)
- 5+ years of experience in electrical manufacturing, harness fabrication, or I&C assembly
- Experience in a highly regulated or safety-critical manufacturing environment (e.g., nuclear, aerospace, defense, medical device, or industrial controls)
- Proficiency with electrical test equipment including multimeters, oscilloscopes, data loggers, Hipot testers, and LCR meters
- Demonstrated track record of reducing build time and improving quality through process improvements
- Experience testing electrical components and systems — building systems and analyzing results
- Strong working knowledge of industrial instrumentation: thermocouples, RTDs, pressure transducers, flow meters, and level sensors
- Proficiency with harness/electrical CAD software (e.g., EPlan, Zuken E3, Siemens Capital, SOLIDWORKS Electrical)
- Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 (wire harness and cable assembly) workmanship standards
Nice To Haves
- Hands-on experience spanning PCBA design through manufacture — from board bring-up and design-for-manufacturability review to assembly, test, and yield improvement
- Experience with harness automation, including build and install
- Experience with decentralized electronic hardware (e.g., I/O modules, power supplies, sensors, and controllers)
- Experience transitioning hardware from prototype to volume production
- Lean/Six Sigma or other process-improvement methodology experience
Responsibilities
- Define and enforce production processes, build procedures, equipment and quality standards for all electrical and I&C scope
- Lead electrical builds hands-on — wire panels, assemble racks, terminate instrumentation loops, and work alongside technicians on the shop floor
- Drive schedule and throughput on electrical hardware — identify risks early, solve problems quickly, and keep builds moving
- Establish and continuously improve manufacturing and assembly processes to scale from prototype to production
- Author clear, repeatable build instructions for complex industrial wire harnesses
- Troubleshoot and resolve quality issues with harnesses throughout fabrication and assembly
- Establish equipment, tooling, and fixtures for building electrical panels and systems
- Partner with design engineering and supply chain to specify, source, and qualify electrical components, instrumentation, and build consumables
- Question requirements and drive design-for-manufacturability feedback to engineering
Benefits
- Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
- Paid Time Off
- Corporate Gym Membership
