Sr. Manufacturing Engineer

The Sr. Manufacturing Engineers operate at the intersection of the engineering, sales, customer service and manufacturing departments, they must possess strong communication abilities, excellent technical skills, detailed oriented, and the capacity to facilitate teamwork across departments. Manufacturing Engineers are uniquely talented in both production and engineering analytical tasks.

• Lead the development and implementation of manufacturing solutions and translate customer and engineering requirements into effective manufacturing processes
• Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) initiatives to ensure efficient, cost-effective, and scalable production.
• Lead responsible for Quality Management Process and Documentation for internal and external customers
• Own and manage First Article Inspection (FAI) activities and FAI reports.
• Develop, maintain, and continuously improve detailed work instructions, process documentation, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Manage product lifecycle activities, including standard product maintenance, revision control, and engineering change implementation (e.g., ECO, SPS).
• Lead obsolescence management efforts, including risk assessment, customer notification, and qualification of replacement components or processes.
• Ensure production readiness by identifying, specifying, and validating required tooling and test fixtures.
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions using methodologies such as Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for complex manufacturing issues.
• Oversee electrical build processes including wiring, harnessing, panel integration, and system validation.
