This role is ideal for someone eager to develop deep product expertise and drive improvements across production, test, supplier quality, and lifecycle sustainment.

The PSE will represent the product team in the production environment, ensuring production issues are addressed quickly, root-caused effectively, and fed back into design improvements. The role blends hands‑on systems troubleshooting, cross‑functional coordination, production test support, and sustaining engineering.

• Serve as the product team’s primary liaison to Production Engineering, coordinating responses to production test failures, supplier issues, and factory support needs.
• Provide system‑level troubleshooting guidance to production technicians and help drive efficient root‑cause identification.
• Lead evaluation, testing, and rollout of new and updated production test software for new product development and sustainment.
• Collaborate with Production and Test Engineering to improve product yield, reduce recurring issues, and enhance process capability.
• Track and manage parts obsolescence risks for products in production and coordinate mitigation plans with Design Engineering.
• Channel production feedback and recurring technical issues back to Product Development to support continuous improvement.
• Become a product expert, understanding embedded navigation system architecture, operation, and subsystem interactions.
• Support cross‑functional teams by contributing to data reviews, failure trend analysis, and technical decision‑making for product health.

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in technical disciplines such as the sciences, technology, engineering or mathematics.
• 5 years of experience in engineering
• 3 years of electrical troubleshooting skills, ideally with embedded systems.
• 3 years of experience interpreting schematics, test data, and system logs.
• Ability to translate system behavior into clear guidance for technicians and cross‑functional partners.
• Communication skills with the ability to coordinate across production, design, supplier, and test organizations.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent issues with strong ownership and follow‑through.

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering or related fields
• Experience with GPS, inertial navigation systems, and other positioning technologies
• Experience in production support or sustaining engineering for electro‑mechanical or embedded systems.
• Familiarity with manufacturing test equipment, automated test software, and factory validation processes.
• Understanding of component lifecycle management and supplier quality processes.
