Electromechanical Manufacturing Engineer

Electromechanical Manufacturing Engineer Summary We are looking for a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to support the Systems Manufacturing Group (SMG), which builds complex electro-mechanical assemblies and systems. The ideal candidate is strong in electrical assembly, system integration, troubleshooting, build documentation, and production support. This is a floor-oriented role that works closely with technicians, engineering, quality, purchasing, and production leadership. This is not a pure design role. It is a manufacturing engineering role for someone who can help SMG build better, safer, and more repeatable systems. Responsibilities • Support SMG production builds from release through final assembly and test. • Troubleshoot electrical and electro-mechanical production issues involving wiring, sensors, solenoids, power supplies, grounding, controls, pneumatics, vacuum systems, heaters, and interlocks. • Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cable and harness drawings, mechanical drawings, BOMs, and customer specifications. • Create and improve work instructions, test procedures, checklists, troubleshooting guides, and as-built documentation. • Support BOM review, redline markups, revision control, ECNs/ECOs, NCRs, and production issue closure. • Assist with NPI, first-build readiness, and production readiness for SMG assemblies. • Contribute to practical production improvements such as fixtures, assembly aids, test setups, cable routing improvements, tooling, and process changes. • Help improve safety, quality, repeatability, build flow, and efficiency in SMG. Experience / Skills Required • Hands-on experience with electro-mechanical assembly or systems integration. • Ability to read electrical schematics and wiring diagrams. • Strong electrical troubleshooting skills in a production environment. • Experience supporting manufacturing floor issues in a high-mix environment. • Experience creating or improving manufacturing documentation. • Working knowledge of 24 VDC controls, relays, interlocks, E-stops, power supplies, sensors, grounding, and machine safety concepts. • Clear communication with production, engineering, quality, purchasing, and customer-facing teams. • Calm, organized, floor-oriented, and respectful of technicians and production staff. • Able to document fixes, not just solve one-time problems. • Able to drive issues to closure without blame. Experience / Skills That Are Helpful • Background in semiconductor equipment, contract manufacturing, medical or life science equipment, automation, capital equipment, or complex electro-mechanical systems. • Electrical panel layout, cable routing, harness build, or point-to-point wiring experience. • Functional test, power-up, continuity testing, system acceptance testing, or test engineering experience. • PLC I/O familiarity. • Exposure to heaters, thermal controls, flow switches, interlocks, sensors, motors, and solenoids. • ERP/MRP experience, preferably Epicor or similar. • CAD software, especially SolidWorks. • Root cause analysis and corrective action experience. • Experience supporting first-build reviews, NPI readiness reviews, or production readiness reviews. • Familiarity with DOE, structured problem solving, or controlled process experiments. • Interest in improving the production system, not just reacting to daily issues. Education • Ideal target: 5-8 years of relevant experience. • Strong candidates with 2-5 years and a relevant engineering degree will be considered. • Strong candidates with 5-10 years of directly relevant hands-on experience will also be considered. • Relevant education may include Electrical Engineering, Electro-Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Technology, military electronics, controls, or senior technician experience.
