About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to own the manufacturing and assembly of our electrical subsystems and wire harnessing. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who is equally comfortable defining production processes and standing at the bench wiring a panel. You'll set the quality bar for all electrical and I&C (instrumentation & controls) scope, scale our builds from prototype to production, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with technicians to keep hardware moving.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and enforce production processes, build procedures, equipment and quality standards for all electrical and I&C scope
• Lead electrical builds hands-on - wire panels, assemble racks, terminate instrumentation loops, and work alongside technicians on the shop floor
• Drive schedule and throughput on electrical hardware - identify risks early, solve problems quickly, and keep builds moving
• Establish and continuously improve manufacturing and assembly processes to scale from prototype to production
• Author clear, repeatable build instructions for complex industrial wire harnesses
• Troubleshoot and resolve quality issues with harnesses throughout fabrication and assembly
• Establish equipment, tooling, and fixtures for building electrical panels and systems
• Partner with design engineering and supply chain to specify, source, and qualify electrical components, instrumentation, and build consumables
• Question requirements and drive design-for-manufacturability feedback to engineering

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent hands-on experience)
• 5+ years of experience in electrical manufacturing, harness fabrication, or I&C assembly
• Experience in a highly regulated or safety-critical manufacturing environment (e.g., nuclear, aerospace, defense, medical device, or industrial controls)
• Proficiency with electrical test equipment including multimeters, oscilloscopes, data loggers, Hipot testers, and LCR meters
• Demonstrated track record of reducing build time and improving quality through process improvements
• Experience testing electrical components and systems - building systems and analyzing results
• Strong working knowledge of industrial instrumentation: thermocouples, RTDs, pressure transducers, flow meters, and level sensors
• Proficiency with harness/electrical CAD software (e.g., EPlan, Zuken E3, Siemens Capital, SOLIDWORKS Electrical)
• Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 (wire harness and cable assembly) workmanship standards

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience spanning PCBA design through manufacture - from board bring-up and design-for-manufacturability review to assembly, test, and yield improvement
• Experience with harness automation, including build and install
• Experience with decentralized electronic hardware (e.g., I/O modules, power supplies, sensors, and controllers)
• Experience transitioning hardware from prototype to volume production
• Lean/Six Sigma or other process-improvement methodology experience

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and work in confined spaces and at heights.
• Frequent bending, kneeling, climbing, and working in various positions
• Factory/shop floor environment with exposure to noise, fumes, heat, UV/arc flash, and moving equipment.

Requirements

Must be based in the United States

Must be willing to work on-site at our headquarters in Austin, Texas
