About The Position

FALCATA Production Division is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer based in Huntsville, Alabama (Discovery). The division provides products and services for radar, communication systems, sensors, antennas, and other electronics systems serving missile, radar and sensor system, communications, control systems, data acquisition, and signal processing markets. Its products range from application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to complete 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 Senior Manufacturing Engineer analyzes and optimizes production processes and integrates new technologies to improve efficiency and quality. The role works with cross-functional teams to identify and remove bottlenecks and support the production of high-performance electronics. It provides manufacturing support in an electrical and mechanical manufacturing facility, translates engineering intent into production instructions, and applies design-for-manufacturability and design-for-assembly techniques. The engineer also supports safety, quality, cost, schedule, technical, programmatic, and performance expectations, while mentoring and training junior engineers and technicians. Employment is contingent upon successfully completing a comprehensive background check, security investigation, and drug screening. U.S. citizenship is required due to OPSEC requirements, as is the ability to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in an engineering-equivalent field from an ABET-accredited school and at least 8 years of relevant experience; alternatively, a master’s degree and at least 6 years of relevant experience, or a Ph.D. and at least 3 years of relevant experience.
Military or DoD manufacturing experience involving mechanical assemblies and/or circuit card assemblies and integration.
Familiarity with IPC, J-STD, MIL, and DoD standards, and in-depth knowledge of AS9100 standards and certification processes.
