Manufacturing Engineer: Electrical Power Equipment & DFMA

Giga Energy; Georgia; On-site; USD 90,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Giga Energy seeks an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to develop safe, repeatable, and efficient manufacturing processes and scale production of medium-voltage switchgear and critical power distribution equipment. You will work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and procurement to improve manufacturability, production readiness, quality, and throughput.

Based in one of our hubs, the role is onsite with a focus on DFMA, equipment manufacturing, NPI, and Lean optimization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial, or related discipline.
• 3–7 years in manufacturing engineering, preferably electrical distribution equipment, switchgear, electromechanical products, or industrial equipment.
• Experience with sheet metal fabrication, electromechanical assembly, tolerances, fixtures, process development, and production troubleshooting.
• Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, BOMs, and manufacturing documents.
• Proficiency with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or related CAD tools; working knowledge of GD&T, Lean processes, and ERP/MRP systems.
• Effective communication, cross-functional problem-solving, and hands-on collaboration on the production floor.

Responsibilities

• Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA): review drawings, schematics, BOMs for manufacturability and standardize components.
• Standardize components across products and validate specs across facilities.
• Support prototypes, first-article builds, engineering changes, and controlled release of docs.
• Support manufacturing of switchgear, PDUs, RPPs, STSs, and modular electrical systems.
• Provide hands-on production support for enclosures, busbars, wiring, grounding, and assembly methods.
• Coordinate tooling, staffing, workflows, work instructions, pilot builds, and first-article validation for production readiness.
• Maintain standardized manufacturing procedures, ERP/MRP data, labor routings, and revision control.
• Develop standardized work instructions, layouts, and production routings to improve throughput and quality.
• Standardize components and processes across sites; establish labor standards, reduce cost and waste.
• Support in-process inspections, testing, investigate nonconformances and coordinate corrective actions.
