How will you make an impact
The Senior Manufacturing Electrical Engineer provides advanced technical leadership for Large Form Assembly (LFA) electrical manufacturing operations. This role is responsible for architecting standardizing and continuously improving electrical assembly processes across NPI production ramp and sustaining phases. This position leads the development of scalable safe and highly repeatable electrical manufacturing systems through the application of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Design for Assembly (DFA) PFMEA risk assessments and structured problem-solving methodologies. The Sr. Engineer ensures electrical designs are production-ready documentation is simplified for operator training and manufacturing execution aligns with safety quality delivery and cost objective.
What will you do
- Lead the development review and control of electrical manufacturing documentation including work instructions wiring diagrams panel layouts wire lists connection schedules SOPs and bill of materials.
- Conduct DFM and DFA reviews during NPI to ensure electrical designs are optimized for manufacturability build efficiency ergonomics and defect prevention.
- Develop maintain and update PFMEA documentation and structure risk assessments for electrical assembly processes.
- Define and standardize electrical wiring methodologies routing practices labeling standards crimp validation methods and workmanship requirements.
- Design develop and optimize wire harnesses subassemblies and wire kits to improve build repeatability quality and takt alignment.
- Develop and optimize electrical build sequences to improve safety ergonomics takt time alignment and overall labor efficiency (OLE).
- Break down complex engineering drawings into simplified trainable production-ready work instructions for multi-level operator capability.
- Lead implementation and optimization of automated wire processing equipment (cutting stripping labeling ferruling crimping) to reduce variation and labor intensity.
- Partner with Industrial Manufacturing Controls and Test Engineering to improve electrical assembly flow ergonomics line balance and defect reduction.
- Provide advanced hands-on troubleshooting support for electrical build issues including wiring discrepancies grounding concerns component integration and documentation gaps.
- Support equipment commissioning FAT/SAT and system acceptance activities as they relate to electrical integration and manufacturing readiness.
- Ensure controlled documentation and ECN discipline throughout NPI ramp and sustaining production phases.
- Lead continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety quality labor efficiency cost reduction and process standardization.
- Identify and implement opportunities to improve system reliability reduce rework and lower total cost of ownership.
- Serve as escalation point and technical mentor for junior engineers and technicians within electrical manufacturing operations.
- Own and define electrical manufacturing strategy for LFA products including panel builds harness assemblies power distribution systems and control integration.
