Collaborative Testing: Partner with our Test Engineering team to seamlessly integrate RF and electronic functional testing into the final assembly process, ensuring every unit meets strict quality standards. Domestic Supply Chain Management: Identify, evaluate, and manage US-based Contract Manufacturers (CMs) and component suppliers for outsourced sub-assemblies. (Travel is minimal and strictly domestic). Tooling & Fixturing: Specify, design, or procure the necessary jigs, fixtures, and tooling required for efficient in-house assembly. What We Are Looking For Experience: 3+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, specifically in an NPI capacity for complex electronics, hardware, or RF systems. Agile Manufacturing: Proven experience in a high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) manufacturing environment. You know how to build flexible processes that can adapt to different product lines. Technical Chops: Strong understanding of electro-mechanical assembly, PCBA manufacturing processes, and hardware integration. Vendor Management: Experience working with domestic suppliers, machine shops, and contract manufacturers. Cross-Functional Teamwork: A track record of working collaboratively with R&D, Test Engineers, and floor technicians. Tooling: Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) for designing basic assembly fixtures and tooling. RF Familiarity (Bonus): Familiarity working around radio frequency (RF) products or wireless communications hardware is highly preferred. NOTE: Due to the nature of our military work, U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency is required for this position. Compensation & Benefits Good Faith Pay Range: $75,000 – $130,000 per year.
