Systems Manufacturing Engineer

Full-Time | Manufacturing Engineering | Electrical Systems Focus

Are you a hands‑on Manufacturing Engineer who enjoys solving real production challenges? We’re looking for a Systems Manufacturing Engineer to join our Systems Manufacturing Group (SMG), supporting the production of complex electro‑mechanical assemblies and systems.

This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who thrives on the manufacturing floor-not behind a desk. You’ll work closely with technicians, quality, engineering, purchasing, and production leadership to troubleshoot systems, improve manufacturing processes, and help deliver high‑quality products efficiently and safely.

If you enjoy problem‑solving, continuous improvement, and making manufacturing processes better every day, we’d love to hear from you.

As a Systems Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll play a key role in supporting production from new product introduction through final assembly and testing.

• Support production builds from release through final assembly and system testing.
• Troubleshoot electrical and electro‑mechanical manufacturing issues involving:
  • Wiring and cable assemblies
  • Sensors and controls
  • Solenoids
  • Power supplies
  • Grounding
  • Pneumatic and vacuum systems
  • Heaters and thermal controls
  • Safety interlocks and E‑Stops
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cable and harness drawings, mechanical drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and customer specifications.
• Create and improve:
  • Work instructions
  • Test procedures
  • Checklists
  • Troubleshooting guides
  • As‑built documentation
• Support engineering change orders (ECOs/ECNs), BOM revisions, redline updates, non‑conformance reports (NCRs), and production issue resolution.
• Assist with new product introduction (NPI), first‑build readiness, and production readiness activities.
• Design practical manufacturing improvements including fixtures, tooling, assembly aids, cable routing enhancements, and test setups.
• Drive improvements in safety, quality, repeatability, production flow, and manufacturing efficiency.

• Hands‑on experience with electro‑mechanical assembly or systems integration.
• Strong electrical troubleshooting skills in a manufacturing environment.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Experience supporting manufacturing floor operations in a high‑mix production environment.
• Experience developing or improving manufacturing documentation.
• Working knowledge of:
  • 24 VDC control systems
  • Relays
  • Safety interlocks
  • E‑Stops
  • Power supplies
  • Sensors
  • Grounding
  • Machine safety concepts
• Strong communication skills with cross‑functional teams including engineering, production, quality, purchasing, and technicians.
• Organized, collaborative, and solutions‑oriented approach with the ability to drive issues through resolution.

Experience in one or more of the following is highly desirable:

• Semiconductor equipment
• Medical device or life sciences manufacturing
• Automation or robotics
• Capital equipment manufacturing
• Contract manufacturing
• Complex electro‑mechanical systems
• Electrical panel layout
• Cable harness fabrication
• Point‑to‑point wiring
• Functional testing and system acceptance testing
• PLC I/O troubleshooting
• Motors, flow switches, heaters, thermal controls, and solenoids
• ERP/MRP systems (Epicor preferred)
• Solid Works or similar CAD software
• Root cause analysis and corrective actions
• New Product Introduction (NPI)
• First‑build or production readiness reviews
• DOE or structured problem‑solving methodologies

We welcome candidates with a variety of educational and professional backgrounds.

Ideal candidates will have:

• 5–8 years of relevant manufacturing engineering experience

We will also consider:

• Engineers with 2–5 years of experience and a relevant engineering degree.
• Professionals with 5–10 years of strong hands‑on manufacturing or technical experience.

Relevant education may include:

• Electrical Engineering
• Electro‑Mechanical Engineering
• Manufacturing Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering Technology
• Controls…
