Job Description:

Senior Associate Manufacturing Engineer to support the production assembly integration and continuous improvement of robotic systems and subsystems in a manufacturing environment. This role will provide hands-on manufacturing engineering support for electromechanical assemblies with emphasis on Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) integration production execution process development and issue resolution.

The selected candidate will work closely with production design engineering quality supply chain and manufacturing leadership to ensure robotic hardware is built safely efficiently and in alignment with quality and schedule requirements. This position will also support the transition of new designs into manufacturing and drive process improvements that improve yield reduce rework and increase throughput.

Essential Functions:

• Support the manufacturing assembly and integration of robotic systems subsystems and electromechanical hardware including Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) integration.
• Develop maintain and improve manufacturing processes work instructions build plans routers and related production documentation.
• Support transition of engineering designs into production ensuring manufacturability repeatability and production readiness.
• Troubleshoot manufacturing issues related to assembly flow tooling materials CCA handling process variation and test readiness.
• Partner with design engineering to improve manufacturability producibility and overall assembly efficiency.
• Lead or support root cause analysis corrective actions and continuous improvement efforts to improve yield reduce rework and increase throughput.
• Coordinate with production quality supply chain and test teams to resolve constraints affecting cost quality and schedule.
• Participate in first article builds process validations production readiness activities and compliance with safety quality ESD workmanship and configuration control standards.

Qualifications:

• Bachelors Degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior relevant experience in Manufacturing Engineering Mechanical Engineering Industrial Engineering Electrical Engineering Robotics Engineering or related field. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 02 years of prior related experience.

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Experience supporting manufacturing or production environments involving electromechanical assemblies robotics electronics or similar hardware.
• Experience with Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) processes support integration or related electronics manufacturing activities.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings bills of material assembly documentation and technical specifications.
• Experience with process documentation manufacturing instructions and production support activities.
• Experience with root cause analysis corrective action and continuous improvement methods.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with cross-functional teams.

• Experience supporting robotic systems motion control hardware sensors automation equipment or complex electromechanical assemblies.
• Familiarity with CCA manufacturing standards ESD controls workmanship requirements and inspection criteria.
• Experience in a high-performance manufacturing environment including aerospace defense or industrial systems.
• Working knowledge of lean manufacturing first-pass yield improvement and process optimization techniques.
• Experience with tooling fixture implementation and production test support.
• Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems production planning and manufacturing execution tools.
• Knowledge of IPC standards configuration management and controlled manufacturing environments.
• Ability to work independently on day-to-day production support while collaborating effectively across functions.
