Manufacturing Electrical Engineer Job Sumter area,South Carolina USA,Manufacturing / Production

The Manufacturing Engineer, Electrical/Electronics will support day-to-day manufacturing operations in a high mix, low volume production environment with a strong focus on electronic components, assemblies, testing, troubleshooting, and process performance. This role requires a hands-on electrical engineering background, strong problem-solving capability, and the ability to partner closely with production, quality, engineering, and supply chain teams to improve operational execution.

This position will play a key role in supporting production flow, strengthening troubleshooting capability across the site, improving first pass yield, supporting on time delivery, and driving process improvement and standardization in an electronics heavy manufacturing environment.

In this role you will:

Support daily manufacturing and production operations for electronics-based products, assemblies, and test processes
Troubleshoot production issues related to electronic components, circuit boards, sensors, wiring, test equipment, and manufacturing processes
Provide hands on support to operators, technicians, and production teams to resolve issues quickly and effectively
Analyze production defects, test failures, and process variation to identify root cause and implement sustainable corrective actions
Support testing, validation, and evaluation of electronic components and assemblies within the production environment
Drive process improvement initiatives focused on first pass yield, on time delivery, quality, efficiency, and repeatability
Develop, improve, and standardize manufacturing processes, work instructions, test procedures, and troubleshooting guides
Partner with quality, design engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to support product builds, issue resolution, and continuous improvement
Help strengthen the site's overall troubleshooting capability by coaching teams, improving diagnostic methods, and building practical problem solving standards
Support new product introduction, product transfers, engineering changes, and manufacturing readiness activities
Identify opportunities to improve production flow, reduce rework, eliminate waste, and improve overall operational performance
Maintain clear technical documentation to support production, quality, training, and long term process control
Use data from production, testing, quality, and delivery performance to prioritize improvement efforts and measure results

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required
2 to 5 years of experience in manufacturing engineering, production engineering, test engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical role
Hands on experience supporting a manufacturing or production environment
Strong electrical and electronics troubleshooting skills, including the ability to diagnose issues with components, assemblies, wiring, circuit boards, and test systems
Experience working with electronic components, electromechanical assemblies, sensors, controls, or industrial electronics
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, technical drawings, test procedures, and engineering documentation
Experience supporting test processes, root cause analysis, corrective actions, and production issue resolution
Strong problem solving skills with a practical, hands on approach to manufacturing support
Experience driving process improvement, standardization, and operational performance improvements
Ability to work effectively across production, quality, engineering, and operations teams
Strong communication and documentation skills
Ability to operate in a fast paced, high mix, low volume manufacturing environment

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in an electronics heavy manufacturing environment
Experience with industrial measurement, sensing, instrumentation, controls, or automation products
Familiarity with lean manufacturing, standard work, visual management, and structured problem solving methods
Experience supporting first pass yield, on time delivery, rework reduction, and production flow improvements
Experience with test equipment, fixtures, troubleshooting tools, and production test methods
Experience supporting new product introduction, engineering changes, or product transfers into production
Familiarity with ERP, MES, quality systems, or production data analysis tools
Experience coaching operators or technicians on troubleshooting methods and process standards

Success in this role looks like:

Production issues are resolved quickly and with clear root cause understanding
Troubleshooting capability improves across the site, not just within engineering
Processes become more standardized, repeatable, and documented
First pass yield improves through better diagnostics, corrective actions, and process control
On time delivery is supported through faster iss
