• Be a strong partner with Product Quality Engineering to drive and support RCCA burndowns that tackle key issues both internally and externally to EW Production
• Collaborate with Design Engineering teams in early to late phases of the development process to provide DFx for smooth NPI transitions
• Develop process flows, breaking down large, complex assemblies into a logical part flow of subassemblies and sub-processes
• Write documentation required for successfully manufacturing their hardware at scale, such as work instructions, quality plans, inspection requirements, etc.
• Work with contract manufacturers across various disciplines (PCBA fab, metallic manufacturing, assembly, etc.) to develop repeatable, sustained processes for quick-turn development as well as at-scale production
• Work with technicians and other engineers hands-on, building prototype hardware
• Contribute to end-customer hardware mechanical or electrical design, including interconnects, board fabrication and inspection, etc.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Degree in a technical field preferred such as engineering, math, or a hard science
