- Ability to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance (TS/SCI with Poly).
- Experience with electronics manufacturing processes, tooling, process documentation, and continuous improvement.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with printed circuit board design, fabrication, and assembly processes.
- Experience with CCA manufacturing processes, cable assemblies, fiber optics, and electro-mechanical assemblies.
- Working knowledge and general understanding of IPC-6012, IPC-6013, IPC-A-600, and IPC 6018.
- Background in manufacturing electronics for Military and Government Systems.
- Experience with Lean principles, including mistake proofing, 3P, 5S+1, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), Root Cause Analysis, Cause & Effect, Gemba, and Pull-Flow.
- Familiarity with Control or a similar MRP-based system and an Aegis-based Manufacturing Execution System.
- Experience with an Aegis-based Manufacturing Execution System, such as Fusion V7 or FactoryLogix.
- Experience with automated chemical dispensing process development.
- Experience with automated or semi-automated torque tools process development.
- Knowledge of PTC CREO, technical writing, MS Project, and/or MS SharePoint.
- TS or higher U.S. Government Security Clearance.
Responsibilities
- Support manufacturing engineering activities for production hardware to ensure safe, efficient, repeatable processes that meet quality and delivery requirements.
- Assist in developing, implementing, improving, and sustaining manufacturing processes for complex avionics hardware, including CCAs, microelectronic assemblies, cable and harness assemblies, chassis, and higher-level assemblies.
- Generate, update, and maintain Assembly Method Sheets (AMS), work instructions, process flows, tooling requirements, and related manufacturing documentation.
- Evaluate manufacturing constraints and implement process improvements to improve producibility, yield, cycle time, and throughput.
- Design and develop manufacturing tools, fixtures, and process aids, emphasizing standardization, mistake-proofing, and operator effectiveness.
- Create manufacturing fixturing using in-house additive manufacturing resources and other appropriate tooling methods.
- Support automation and semi-automation initiatives for manual manufacturing processes, including torque application and chemical dispensing.
- Provide day-to-day technical support to manufacturing technicians and operators to ensure proper execution of manufacturing processes.
- Communicate with internal and external customers about manufacturing issues, priorities, and status.
- Support root cause investigations and corrective and preventive actions related to nonconformances, recurring defects, process escapes, and yield issues.
- Support MRB activities, including review of discrepant hardware, defect trend analysis, and implementation of corrective actions.
- Review drawing revisions and parts list updates for manufacturing impact and support incorporation of engineering changes into production.
- Analyze workflow, labor content, and material flow to support improvements in manufacturing and test throughput.
- Support lean and continuous improvement initiatives to reduce waste and improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
- Use data and process metrics to identify trends and support manufacturing performance improvements.
- Prioritize and execute work in an environment with multiple concurrent tasks and responsibilities.
