Manufacturing Engineer II

About the role

Nomad Global Communication Solutions (Nomad GCS) is seeking a Level II Manufacturing Engineer. This position requires electrical engineering experience with strong problem-solving abilities and a proactive approach to resolving issues. MFEs collaborate on new projects within the broader engineering scope, including outside their primary areas of expertise.

Responsibilities

• Review designs for manufacturability (DFM) during digital design and physical construction.
• Create and maintain fixtures and tooling designs using hand tools and shop machinery (manual + CNC).
• Support production by troubleshooting build issues and clarifying engineering intent.
• Conduct testing and validation, formally documenting results.
• Analyze Change Requests and prepare impact summaries for approval.
• Drive continuous improvement in safety, quality, efficiency, and standardization.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field OR 0–2 years relevant experience.
• Primary Focus: Learning and applying core manufacturability standards while supporting accurate execution of DFM, documentation, and basic tooling activities.
• Progression Signal: Learns quickly, reduces Production and Engineering rework, and completes assigned tasks correctly with decreasing supervision.

Qualifications

• Electrical Engineering Experience
• Advanced system-level electrical design and integration experience across power distribution, control systems, and communications architectures.
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis capability involving complex electrical, integration, manufacturing, and field issues.
• Skilled in reviewing, approving, and improving engineering documentation including schematics, wiring diagrams, BOMs, and test procedures.
• Demonstrated knowledge of applicable electrical standards, codes, and best practices including NEC, UL, IEC, and safety compliance requirements.
• Experience supporting production environments, resolving technical issues, and improving manufacturability and serviceability of designs.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with mechanical engineering, software, IT integration, manufacturing, quality, suppliers, and customers.
• Experience leading validation activities, system testing, and failure investigations.
• Strong technical communication and project coordination skills with internal teams, suppliers, and external stakeholders.
• Proficient with ECAD tools, electrical documentation systems, and engineering change management processes.
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage priorities, technical risk, and engineering deliverables on complex programs.

Skills

• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles and application during digital and physical builds.
• Electrical design fundamentals including low-voltage (12V/24V DC) circuits, high-voltage (120V/240V AC) circuits, control systems, and power distribution.
• Tooling and fixture design concepts for repeatability, safety, and production efficiency.
• Raw material or component selection, fabrication methods, and production cost considerations.
• Interpretation and creation of precision technical drawings and digital models.
• CAD proficiency (SolidWorks Electrical or equivalent) including modeling, drawing release, and file management.
• ERP systems and change control processes (CR/CO workflow).
• Standard manufacturing documentation practices and revision control.
• Root cause analysis and structured problem-solving methods.
• Competency in business and engineering software (MS Office: Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• Hands-on experience with electrical hand tools (crimping, stripping, soldering), test equipment (multimeter, oscilloscope).
• IPC/WHMA-A-620 or equivalent knowledge or training.
• Ability to communicate effectively between Engineering and Production teams.
• Demonstrated alignment with Nomad Core Values.
