Responsibilities

The Manufacturing Engineer is a full-time, exempt position. This position will require a broad range of responsibilities to ensure production continuityandcritical engineering supportfor all released manufacturing products , providingsynchronized technical oversightalongside peer engineers.

Some examples of these responsibilities are listed below (but are not limited to the following):

• Process Engineering Change Requests (ECR) initiated by Engineering or Manufacturing and convert them into Engineering Change Notifications (ECN).
• Update all technical documentation for released products, including component specifications, schematics, PCB layouts, mechanical assembly drawings, and wire lists.

Obsolescence & Technical Updates:

• Resolve component shortages and obsolescence for active production.
• Verify the in-product or virtual fitting to ensure new component selections maintain clearance and alignment within the final assembly.

Technical Redesign & PCB Development:

• Perform the necessary PWB redesigns, revise schematics, compile netlists, and update PCB assembly (CCA) drawings.
• Work closely with engineering to ensure that approved footprints and models are used from the vault.
• Verify all electronic changes within a 3D SolidWorks model to ensure proper sheet metal alignment and check for mechanical interferences.
• Generate updated 2D (dwg) CCA assembly drawings and final 2D (dwg) mechanical assembly drawings.
• Verify the in-product or virtual fitting to ensure new component selections maintain clearance and alignment within the final assembly.

Regulatory Compliance Support:

• Ensure all engineering changes and component substitutions maintain compliance with regulatory agency requirements, specifically regarding Safety standards (e.g., UL/IEC) and EMI/EMC mitigation to avoid impacts on existing certifications.

Assembly Instruction Development:

• Develop comprehensive, step-by-step assembly instructions by process photography and /or 3D virtual models and renderings.

Advanced Testing & Tooling:

• Improve the testability of released products by adapting them to modern testing concepts, such as Bed-of-Nails and Flying Probe testing.
• Create design-for-test (DFT) modifications of PWB and CCA, including adding or repositioning test pads to align with manufacturing process andtesting machine requirements.

Operations & ERP Support :

• Maintain the integrity of ERP Syteline CSI and Doc-Trak by updating all production-related engineering data. Support Purchasing, Production, and Incoming Inspection with technical inquiries regarding component matters and non-conformance resolution.
• Partner with peer engineers to optimize SMT, Through-Hole, and ATE lines; implement DFM principles to consolidate part counts and automate manual operations for cost efficiency .

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electro-mechanical, Mechatronics Engineering, or related field. Associate degree combined with significant equivalent work experience will also be considered.
• 2-5 years of experience in electronics manufacturing or production engineering supporting power operations
• Experience working with power supply, electromechanical assembly and test activities preferred.
• Experience with In-Circuit Testing (ICT), Bed-of-Nails fixture design, and Flying Probe methodologies.
• Experience in electro-mechanical assembly (Through-hole, SMT, Chassis mount, cable harnesses) and experienced in troubleshooting manufacturing process of moderate to high complexity power supplies in an ISO9000 environment.
• Practical, hands-on ability to perform first-article rework, including soldering/de-soldering of components and mechanical modifications to validate engineering changes before full production release.
• Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams and adapt to a fast-paced work environment.
• Knowledge of Safety and EMI/EMC requirements and their application in power electronics manufacturing.
