Sr. Manufacturing Engineer
About The Position
Raytheon Vision Systems (RVS), a leader in the research, design, and manufacturing of focal plane arrays and flight-based vision systems, is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer in Goleta, California. The engineer will oversee the assembly of focal plane module arrays, optical components, and/or electromechanical assemblies from design implementation through shipment. The role leads manufacturing engineering efforts on moderate- to high-complexity programs, supports factory operations, interprets engineering drawings and specifications into build plans, creates schedules, and oversees nonrecurring and recurring tasks for program builds. Work includes cleanroom environments requiring full coverall garments. The role may evolve into a lead position involving delegation of tasks to less experienced engineers. The engineer will support high-mix, low-volume electromechanical assembly processes, develop manufacturing plans and instructions, generate bills of material, participate in tooling reviews, and help ensure hardware and production documentation comply with engineering, quality, safety, and security requirements. The position also involves troubleshooting, investigating defects, improving manufacturing processes, and presenting investigation results to peers and management.
Requirements
- A degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM).
- A minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.
- Experience in Semiconductor, Industrial, Mechanical, Manufacturing, and/or Process Engineering.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government-issued security clearance; U.S. citizenship is required.
- Active and existing DoD Secret security clearance required after day 1.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with military and commercial manufacturing processes.
- Experience with ERP and MES systems; SAP/CMES experience preferred.

- Self-motivation, adaptability, willingness to work on varying assignments, lead projects, and work as part of an Integrated Product Team.
- Good communication skills for documenting assembly processes, presenting technical issues or changes, and interpersonal dialogue in a diverse team.
- Experience in a semiconductor cleanroom (class 100) work environment.
- Understanding of semiconductor physics.
- Knowledge or experience with wet etch, metal-lift off, lithography, plasma cleaning, or associated semiconductor processing equipment.
Responsibilities
- Oversee assembly of focal plane module arrays, optical components, and/or electromechanical assemblies from design implementation through shipment.
- Lead manufacturing engineering efforts on moderate- to high-complexity programs and provide engineering support to the manufacturing factory.
- Interpret engineering drawings and specifications into build plans; create schedules and oversee nonrecurring and recurring tasks for program builds.
- Work with adhesives application, precision alignment, paint, weld, and cleaning processes for high-mix, low-volume electromechanical assemblies.
- Use Microsoft Office Suite for daily communications, tracking, and documentation of manufacturing processes.
- Write manufacturing plans and instructions in accordance with engineering specifications, quality requirements, safety needs, and security requirements.
