Nice To Haves

SolidWorks experience is a plus.
3–5 years of hardware development experience in addition to manufacturing experience, with a strong preference for candidates coming from a Test & Measurement (T&M) instrumentation environment.

Responsibilities

Lead the NPI process for complex RF and Microwave Test Equipment from early design gates through pilot builds, qualification, and high-yield volume production.
Serve as a key contributor in cross-functional design reviews, championing the DFM (Manufacturability), DFA (Assembly), and DFT (Test) vision on development projects to optimize circuit layouts and housing designs before production release.
Collaborate closely with hardware, mechanical, and software engineers to systematically evaluate, characterize, and troubleshoot high-frequency product performance issues and calibration drifts.
Lead a cross-functional team defining assembly processes, optimized manufacturing floor layouts, and comprehensive production rollout plans for new products.
Drive product structure development, including creating multi-level Bills of Materials (BOMs), structuring variants, and managing Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) utilizing SAP ERP systems.
Coordinate and assist in execution of compliance and quality testing, ensuring hardware builds strictly adhere to ISO 9001 quality standards and global RoHS/REACH environmental directives.
Author comprehensive visual work instructions, test logs, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to guarantee seamless knowledge transfer to the production floor.
