As our Manufacturing Engineer, you'll lead manufacturing and test process deployment, support production operations, and drive continuous improvement initiatives across Gogo and our contract manufacturing partners. You'll work closely with Manufacturing & Test Engineering, Production, Quality, Failure Analysis, Hardware Development, and Contract Manufacturers to ensure efficient, scalable, and repeatable manufacturing processes that support business growth and product excellence.

If you're someone who enjoys solving complex production challenges, collaborating across teams, and driving operational improvements in a fast-paced environment, we'd love to meet you.

• Lead the deployment and optimization of manufacturing and test processes for Gogo products across internal production operations and external contract manufacturing partners.

• Support radio module programming, RF calibration, and production testing activities to ensure product quality and manufacturing readiness.

• Partner with Manufacturing & Test Engineering, Production, Quality, Failure Analysis, Hardware Development, and Contract Manufacturers to deliver reliable and scalable manufacturing solutions.

• Manage production test capability deployment at PCA, subassembly, and system levels, including support for LTE functional testing and industry-standard production test methodologies.

• Troubleshoot manufacturing and test process issues to improve product yields, throughput, and operational efficiency.

• Execute process, equipment, and test qualification activities while ensuring consistency between Gogo and contract manufacturing sites.

• Develop and maintain manufacturing work instructions, test procedures, and deployment documentation to support production excellence.

• Train manufacturing personnel and contract manufacturing teams on assembly processes, test procedures, and best practices.

• Identify opportunities to improve, automate, standardize, and optimize manufacturing and test operations.

• Contribute to new product introduction (NPI), continuous improvement initiatives, and the successful transfer of manufacturing capabilities to contract manufacturing partners.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, production assembly, and production test support.

• Demonstrated experience supporting manufacturing processes, test systems, and production operations in an electro-mechanical environment.

• Experience with manufacturing process development, equipment qualification, and production test methodologies.

• Ability to analyze failures, troubleshoot technical issues, and implement effective corrective actions.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical and operational teams.

• Experience developing manufacturing documentation, work instructions, and training materials.

• Ability to support domestic travel up to 15% as required.

You don't need to check every box below. If you bring experience in some of these areas, we'd especially like to hear from you:

• Experience with RF products, wireless communications systems, or radio module manufacturing.

• Exposure to LTE, 5G, or cellular production test environments.

• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies.

• Experience within aviation, aerospace, telecommunications, electronics, or high-tech manufacturing industries.

• Familiarity with contract manufacturer management, production transfers, and new product introduction (NPI).

• Experience with equipment correlation, process validation, yield improvement, and failure analysis activities.

• Lean, Six Sigma, or other manufacturing-related certifications.
