Responsibilities

• Execute new product introduction for complex electronics assemblies, PCBAs, and avionics hardware.
• Drive DFM, DFA, and DFT improvements through hands-on analysis and manufacturability feedback.
• Care for build configuration readiness, including engineering documentation, release packages, and build records.
• Support manufacturing process development, validation, troubleshooting, and technical issue closure.
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for manufacturing, assembly, and test failures.
• Represent the development team on manufacturing floors and with contract manufacturers to resolve build issues and close technical gaps.
• Communicate build risks, technical issues, and production-readiness status in program reviews and cross-functional forums.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience combining electronics manufacturing expertise with technical program or NPI coordination responsibilities.
• Hands-on experience with PCBA manufacturing, SMT, electronic assembly processes, or test integration.
• Strong understanding of DFM, DFA, and DFT principles with demonstrated implementation experience.
• Experience working with contract manufacturers or electronics manufacturing services providers on build execution, process development, or issue resolution.
• Experience driving root cause analysis, corrective actions, or process improvements.
• Ability to manage complex technical programs while maintaining hands-on engineering involvement.

Qualifications

• Knowledge of IPC standards, electronics manufacturing processes, and quality systems.
• Experience with manufacturing readiness reviews, build readiness reviews, or technical process validation.
• Experience managing NPI programs from prototype through pilot build and production ramp.
• Experience with scalable production systems or manufacturing processes designed for volume growth.
• Background in hardware technical program management, manufacturing program management, product operations, or similar cross-functional hardware execution roles.
• Experience with complex, multi-board electronic systems, avionics assemblies, or electronics products transitioned from prototype to production.
