Position Title: Manufacturing Engineer–UAS, Electrical Focus

Location: Irvine, CA

Work Arrangement: 6am – 3pm, on-site

Position Summary:

The Manufacturing Engineer supports day‑to‑day production of electro‑mechanical assemblies, avionics assemblies, and wire harnesses within our airborne systems manufacturing environment. This role works closely with assembly technicians, avionics technicians, and design engineering to document build processes, resolve production-floor issues, and drive continuous improvements under an AS9100 compliant QMS. The Manufacturing Engineer ensures that work instructions, tooling, and test workflows are clear, robust, and production ready as products transition from engineering prototypes into stable, repeatable builds.

This role is well‑suited for an engineer with a strong electrical background who enjoys hands‑on manufacturing, problem‑solving, and working directly on the production floor.

Required

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Create, maintain, and redline work instructions, assembly routers, and build documentation to ensure consistent, high-quality production.
• Train assembly and avionics technicians on new or updated build and test instructions.
• Review and update production drawings in collaboration with Design Engineering.
• Support technicians and Quality in generating redlines, nonconformance reports (NCRs), and build discrepancies.

• Design mechanical and electrical fixtures, jigs, and tooling to aid repeatable assembly and testing.
• Support ATP (Acceptance Test Procedure) execution by partnering with Test Technicians and Design Engineering and ensuring any supplemental test instructions or tools are developed.
• Improve build ergonomics and assembly efficiency through fixture updates and layout optimization.
• Production BOMs, Routers, and Item Cards creation and modification.

• Act as the frontline manufacturing liaison between technicians and design engineering to resolve build issues rapidly and accurately.
• Support transition of new builds from engineering to production by validating manufacturability, documenting processes, and providing feedback on prototype builds.
