About the role

We supercharge electrical wire harness manufacturing through software configuration, transforming skilled assembly tasks into high-throughput production lines.
We're seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to take ownership of complex wire harness programs across our customer portfolio.
You need to be self-sufficient, technically deep, and comfortable operating with minimal direction.

You'll own programs end-to-end - managing customer relationships, solving complex technical challenges, developing build processes, and ensuring quality and delivery targets are met.
This role reports to the Lead Manufacturing Engineer but operates with significant independence day-to-day.
Lead planning and coordination of complex harness builds by developing comprehensive work instructions, formboards, and tooling solutions
Establish manufacturing standards and processes that enable production to build efficiently and autonomously
Drive improvements to quality, efficiency, and throughput through process benchmarking and workflow optimization
Commission new equipment, qualify processes, and optimize production flow as needed
Partner with the production team on technical issues that require engineering disposition, providing structured solutions rather than ad hoc floor support
Collaborate with the software team on digital solutions to improve traceability, workflow, and reporting
Maintain 5S, lean manufacturing principles, and adherence to aerospace quality standards
Develop and maintain engineering documentation that keeps assigned programs aligned with IPC-620/NASA 8739.4 and customer-specific requirements

Expert ability to evaluate parts and processes, determining optimal assembly approaches quickly
Excellent project management skills with ability to juggle multiple programs and priorities

Certification or extensive experience with IPC-620 or NASA STD 8739.4 standards
Deep expertise in aerospace and defense wire harness best practices and quality standards
Experience at a contract manufacturing company managing multiple customer programs simultaneously
Experience leading process improvement initiatives (Six Sigma, Kaizen) with documented efficiency gains
10+ years of overall manufacturing engineering experience with progressive responsibility
Background with MES or ERP systems
Supply chain coordination experience

$130,000 - $180,000 USD
Compensation will be based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.
This is an onsite role at our headquarters in Redondo Beach, CA or Cypress, CA.

Own a piece of the pie with equity participation!
Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life and long-term disability coverage
Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Dependent Spending Account (DSA) for health-related expenses
20 vacation days per year and 12 company holidays for rest and relaxation
a 401(k) plan to set yourself up for retirement
Up to $100/month reimbursement for gym memberships
We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Bachelor's degree in engineering, STEM-related field, or 8+ years of directly related hands-on manufacturing experience
5+ years of manufacturing engineering experience in fast-paced production environments (wire harness, electrical assembly, or similar)
Proven ability to work independently with minimal supervision in a high-accountability role
Strong customer-facing skills with ability to manage technical relationships and communicate effectively
Proficiency in CAD tools for creating assembly drawings and tooling designs
At Senra Systems, we believe that the future of manufacturing lies not in automation, but in configuration.
We enable customers to design what they want, when they want it and deliver harness builds at record-breaking speed.
You'll develop engineering packages including detailed work instructions and formboards, drive process improvements and serve as the technical point of contact for assigned programs, working closely with production, quality and customers to deliver.
Serve as the primary technical liaison between production and assigned customers
