Role SummaryAs our Engineering Technician Supervisor, you will lead a team of engineering technicians supporting mechanical and electrical assembly, NPI product builds, and prototype equipment setup. This is a highly hands-on leadership role-you'll assign work, unblock issues in real time, ensure builds meet schedule and quality standards, and track and approve timecards and labor hours for your team. You'll coordinate and deliver on-the-job training, helping technicians develop the craftsmanship and technical skills needed to build, test, and refine electro-mechanical systems safely, consistently, and efficiently. Your leadership will directly influence product readiness, prototype quality, and the pace at which new products move from development into production.
Responsibilities:- Directly supervise engineering technicians supporting mechanical and electrical assembly, NPI product builds, and prototype equipment setup, managing daily work assignments and floor coverage.
- Own day-to-day execution of technician work, ensuring schedules, quality, and safety standards are met while escalating issues and risks in real time.
- Track, review, and approve timecards, labor hours, and overtime for the technician team, supporting labor efficiency and project planning.
- Coordinate, deliver, and document on-the-job training for new and existing technicians, building proficiency in assembly, fabrication, troubleshooting, and test methods.
- Work hands-on alongside the team to support installation, wiring, and commissioning of manufacturing and pilot equipment.
- Partner with engineers on prototype iterations, test fixture development, and continuous improvement initiatives; support design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews and feedback loops.
- Assist in and oversee product and process validation activities, including execution of qualification protocols and data collection.
- Ensure adherence to safety standards and protocols, especially when working with high-voltage or mechanical systems, proactively identifying and correcting hazards.
- Develop and maintain reports that provide clear visibility to leadership on technician team progress, risks, and corrective actions.
- Create a positive, accountable team culture through coaching, performance feedback, and corrective action, including addressing performance concerns and administering discipline when necessary.
- Maintain organization of development area and tool spaces.
Qualifications:- High school diploma or GED required.
- 7+ years of experience in assembly, testing, or support of electro-mechanical equipment or NPI builds, including at least 2 years in a supervisory or lead role.
- Proven experience leading day-to-day technician work in a fast-paced engineering or manufacturing environment, including work assignment and schedule execution.
- Experience managing labor and timekeeping, including tracking and approving timecards, overtime, and shift coverage.
- Proficient with hand tools, power tools, shear, breaker, hydraulic press, and manual fabrication techniques, such as soldering, crimping, and machining; machine shop experience is a plus.
- Basic understanding of electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic systems, including the ability to troubleshoot and rework.
- Experience with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and interpreting technical drawings.
- Demonstrated ability to read and work from electromechanical diagrams or multi-discipline engineering documentation.
- Experience coordinating and delivering on-the-job training and coaching technicians through changing processes.
- Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to provide clear direction, real-time feedback, and corrective action when required.
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, stand or bend for extended periods, and operate safely in an industrial lab setting.
- Commitment to safety and EHS best practices in an industrial lab or manufacturing environment.
Bonus Qualifications:- Associate's degree in a technical discipline (e.g., mechanical, electrical, manufacturing technology) or equivalent hands-on experience preferred.
- Proficiency in SolidWorks for interpreting and working with complex CAD models.
- Strong foundation in electrical systems
- Prior experience in NPI builds, pilot lines, or early-stage product validation.
- Experience working in Agile development environments, including task management and sprint planning using Scrum methodologies and tools like Jira and Confluence
- Familiarity with PLC systems.
- Forklift certified preferable.
