Manufacturing Engineer

Position: Manufacturing Engineer 1
The Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for developing, maintaining, and improving manufacturing processes to support safe, efficient, and repeatable production of electronic assemblies. This role partners closely with Manufacturing, Technicians, Test Engineering, Quality, and other functions to ensure production readiness, product quality, and continuous improvement across the factory.

The Manufacturing Engineer owns manufacturing processes and documentation for SMT, hand solder, test, and final assembly operations, supporting new product introduction (NPI), legacy product sustainment, and ongoing yield, cost, and throughput improvements. The role focuses on process definition, root cause analysis, and cross-functional problem solving rather than direct line  a small, high-mix manufacturing environment, the Manufacturing Engineer is expected to be hands-on and floor-engaged, providing technical direction, troubleshooting support, and practical solutions while working through technicians and operators to execute production.

The role has a direct, visible impact on product quality, on-time delivery, and manufacturing cost across both new and legacy products.
