Senior Electrical Manufacturing Engineer

Partner with design engineers to ensure manufacturability, build the first prototype, design the build flow and fixturing, and finalize the process for transition to production. Once transitioned, scale production to meet K2's demand. Implement new techniques for manufacturing complex PCBAs, harnessing, and integrated electronics systems.

What You Will Do

Lead design-for-excellence reviews, develop innovative manufacturing systems, create custom tools and processes, demonstrate advanced manufacturing techniques, develop subassembly build flow, mentor junior Manufacturing Engineers, and partner with a team of advanced manufacturing engineers.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The role requires a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment, excited about contributing to the success of a high-growth company. The candidate should have a strong understanding of IPC standards, avionics subassembly manufacturing technologies, and DFX guidance to design teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, aerospace, or other relevant engineering discipline
• 6+ years of experience in a high volume, rapid production environment in a manufacturing, integration, and/or design engineering role
• Demonstrated track record leading product development and/or process improvements
• Strong understanding of IPC standards (e.g., IPC-A-610, IPC-A-600, J-STD-001) for PCB/PCBA workmanship and inspection
• Strong understanding of how to set up a manufacturing/production floor for first article builds and transitioning from low to high-rate manufacturing.
• Deep understanding of avionics subassembly manufacturing technologies, including PCBA assembly, wire harness manufacturing and PCBA/mechanical enclosure integration
• Strong understanding DFX guidance to design teams across PCBs, PCBAs, machined components, and mechanical assemblies
• Strong understanding of GD&T and mechanical assembly drawings, with the ability to review and provide feedback on electrical and mechanical designs
• Good understanding of conformal coating processes (selective spray, dip, or brush application) and associated inspection/rework methods for PCBAs, per standards such as IPC-CC-830 and NASA-STD-8739.1
