- Leveraging expertise in New Product Introduction (NPI) to seamlessly transition PCBA, harnessing, and integration from prototype to high-volume production

- Being a strong partner with Product Quality Engineering to drive and support RCCA burndowns that tackle key issues both internally and externally to EW Production

- Collaborating with Design Engineering teams early in the development process to feedback Design For Manufacturability

- Defining workflows with cross-functional teams for effective collaboration

You will be responsible for owning a portion or all of the manufacturing value chain for a certain product or set of products. This includes developing process flows, breaking down large, complex assemblies into a logical part flow of subassemblies and sub-processes.

In addition, you will contribute to end-customer hardware mechanical or electrical design, including interconnects, board fabrication and inspection, etc.

As a Lead Manufacturing Engineer, you will have a degree in a technical field, such as engineering, math, or a hard science, and 8+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably manufacturing or design of avionics or electrical systems.

You will have demonstrated ability to creatively deliver avionics hardware in a resource-constrained environment, and have in-kind or direct team leadership skills, with backing examples.

You will also have an attitude of world-class mission assurance, quality, attention to detail, and dedication, and a genuine interest in manufacturing and thirst for learning.

Preferred qualifications include experience with Avionics or Propulsion Products that require system AI&T (assembly, integration, and test), hands-on experience with software & firmware flashing or end-of-line testing & troubleshooting, and demonstrated success in scaling product testing and production from tens/hundreds to hundreds/thousands.

The salary range for this role is $146,000-$194,000 USD.
