About the role
- Establish labor standards and staffing models using time studies (e.g., stopwatch, MOST/MTM); align standard work to takt time and production targets.
- Strong NPI/industrialization experience (prototype/pilot/ramp/sustainment) including line readiness, documentation, ramp, and continuous improvement.
- Experience supporting high-volume, high-throughput manufacturing, including designing and scaling automated or semi-automated assembly and test lines.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with Design Engineering to provide DFM/DFT input from concept through release; deliver clear, prioritized inputs to improve electrical designs for manufacturability, assembly, testability, and cost for high-volume production.
- Lead optimization of electrical manufacturing, assembly, and test processes for new and existing products (e.g., avionics, power distribution, RF components, embedded systems, PCBAs, motors, controllers, cable harnesses).
- Develop, validate, release, and continuously improve manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, process flows, routings, control plans, and test procedures.
- Troubleshoot production and test issues across assemblies and systems; perform root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
- Support development, validation, and sustainment of electrical test systems and fixtures to meet performance and OEE requirements.
- Collaborate with Quality, Supply Chain, and suppliers to support product qualification, component availability, and inspection/test strategies (including PFMEA and control plans).
- Develop capacity models for critical resources (labor, equipment, test stations), identify bottlenecks, and drive mitigation plans.
- Design and optimize factory layouts (line/cell), including material flow, kitting, point-of-use storage, WIP control, and ergonomic/safety considerations.
- Identify, evaluate, and industrialize automation opportunities for high-volume assembly and test; support specification, layout, commissioning, and ramp-up of semi- and fully automated workcells and lines.
- Define and validate production tooling, fixturing, and gaging (e.g., assembly jigs, test fixtures, torque tools, poka-yoke devices) to enable safe, repeatable, and efficient builds.
Requirements
- Proficiency with layout and visualization (Visio, AutoCAD) and CAD tools (Altium) and generating ECOs using PLM (Duro) applying ergonomic and safety principles.
- Must have manual dexterity to operate standard office equipment.
Nice to have
- Requirements B.S. in Electrical Engineering, or related engineering discipline with 10+ years' experience directly supporting NPI and sustaining electrical manufacturing
- aerospace/defense and high-mix electromechanical assembly preferred.
- Proven capability in capacity planning, line balancing, labor standards, and time studies
- advanced Excel/data analysis skills required (e.g.: Minitab, LabView, MS Power BI a plus).
Benefits
- Partner with NPI to plan and execute prototype, pilot, and ramp builds, including line readiness, tooling, training, and build learning capture.
- Working familiarity with automation technologies and metrics (robotics/cobots, vision systems, automated torque/dispense, conveyors, PLC/HMI concepts, OEE and downtime analysis).
Company info
- Safe Harbor 401(K) with company match.
