Senior Electrical Engineer

About the Role

The role involves performing failure analysis on production products and customer returns, documenting the results, and communicating technical recommendations to support rework and improve first‑pass yield. Findings are reported to internal teams and customers to drive corrective actions. Support for Manufacturing Engineering includes creating new production routings for upcoming products, establishing labor time standards, and regularly reviewing and updating routings to enhance techniques and reduce labor. The engineer also updates active routings with procedures, times, documents, and tooling designs, and works on procedures to integrate 3D printers into product development and tool design. Participation in concurrent engineering efforts and critical design reviews helps minimize development costs and extend product life, using Design for Manufacturing and Value Engineering principles. The engineer acts as a technical liaison from product inception through shipment and prepares capital appropriation requests for equipment supporting emerging technologies. • Conduct production and customer‑return failure analyses and deliver actionable recommendations. • Create, maintain, and periodically improve production routings and labor time standards. • Integrate 3D printing technology into new product development and tooling processes. • Apply Lean manufacturing, Design for Manufacturing, and Value Engineering to enhance yield and reduce variation. • Prepare capital appropriation requests for equipment supporting emerging and existing technologies. • Manage multiple projects concurrently to meet scheduled delivery dates. • Utilize problem‑solving methods such as 8D, PFMEA, thought maps, and root‑cause analysis. • Design and fabricate special tooling and test stands across all engineering disciplines.
