Description

• Responsible partner with core electrical design engineering and avionics manufacturing teams through product development and production to improve product reliability by applying best practices to designs and establishing repeatable process control • Support new product development by prototyping early development hardware to learn the design limitations through a HASS style development • Identify opportunities for risk reduction and removal of complexity in designs and processes to improve manufacturability, collaborating with integrated product teams to drive improvements and address high-impact and repeating non-conformances • Utilize schematics, test equipment, and inspection processes to conduct PCBA test failure investigations, performing structured root cause analysis to identify design, manufacturing, and process changes to prevent future product failures • Lead initiatives for risk reduction and removal of complexity in designs and processes to improve manufacturability, collaborating with integrated product teams to drive improvements and address high-impact and repeating non-conformances • Monitor the yield rate of products and drive corrective action to products not meeting design specifications • Contain suspect or known non-conforming product, providing guidance to quality inspectors, technicians, shop supervisors and engineers to assist in quarantining and rework activities • Support the shop floor in continuous improvement and the advancing of a Lean, autonomous production system through creation of standard rework/repair guides, removal of redundant or unnecessary inspection, and improved control and optimization of critical processes • Serve as technical expert in avionics processes to challenge requirements to determine what adds value and what is non-value added overhead • Work with core avionics to determine the minimum viable sequence of acceptance testing that needs to be performed on flight hardware to guarantee high reliability at the system level • Provide mentorship and guidance to junior engineers on the team

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or an engineering discipline with an emphasis on electrical engineering or electronics • 5+ years in a PCBA manufacturing and/or avionics design role with a focus on hands-on hardware support/test/root cause • 3+ years of experience with electrical test equipment (e.g., multimeters, signal generators, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers) to verify hardware functionality

Benefits

• Ability to work extended hours, weekends, and offsite as needed
