Are you a seasoned electrical engineer passionate about shaping cutting-edge manufacturing processes? We are seeking a highly skilled Manufacturing Electrical Engineer to lead, optimize, and elevate electrical assembly operations within a dynamic and fast-paced environment. This is your opportunity to influence large-scale production, implement best practices, and drive continuous improvement in electrical manufacturing systems. If you thrive on technical leadership, process innovation, and problem-solving, we want to hear from you!
What You Will Do:
- Lead the development, review, and control of electrical manufacturing documentation such as work instructions, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, wire lists, and SOPs.
- Conduct Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews during New Product Introduction (NPI) to ensure electrical designs are optimized for manufacturing efficiency, ergonomics, and quality.
- Develop and maintain PFMEA documentation, assessing risks and implementing mitigation strategies in electrical assembly processes.
- Standardize wiring methodologies, routing practices, labeling standards, and workmanship requirements to ensure consistency and quality.
- Design and optimize wire harnesses, subassemblies, and wire kits to improve build quality, repeatability, and takt time.
- Develop electrical build sequences that enhance safety, ergonomics, and labor productivity.
- Simplify complex engineering drawings into clear, trainable work instructions suitable for multi-level operator teams.
- Lead the implementation of automated wire processing equipment to reduce variation and manual labor.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including Industrial, Manufacturing, Controls, and Test Engineering—to improve line flow, ergonomics, and defect reduction.
- Provide hands-on troubleshooting support for electrical build issues, including wiring discrepancies, grounding, components, and documentation gaps.
- Support system commissioning, FAT/SAT, and electrical integration activities ensuring manufacturing readiness.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, quality, efficiency, and cost reduction.
- Mentor junior engineers and technicians, serving as a technical escalation point.
- Own the electrical manufacturing strategy for large-scale assemblies, harnesses, power distribution, and control systems.
