• Diagnose and resolve (debug) manufacturing, field, and design issues with focus on electronic assemblies and components, supporting root cause analysis (RCA) and lead corrective/preventive actions (CAPA) for nonconformances.
• Collaborate with System and Test Engineering teams to understand, utilize and improve automated scripts and diagnostic tools (Python, C/C++) for flashing firmware, commissioning and testing electronic assemblies. 
• Execute electrical design updates using Altium to improve manufacturability, resolve production and design issues, working cross-functionally with design, test, quality, and supply chain teams.
• Perform SME-level technical review on all electrical design changes affecting the production robot, evaluating for DFM/DFA/DFT, technical issues, and standard consistency prior to release. 
• Drive the validation and implementation of electrical Engineering Change Orders (ECRs & ECOs) by creating test protocols, performing the tests, reporting out the results, and implementing the validated change on the production line. 
• Author and maintain up-to-date technical documentation, including specifications, drawings, BOMs, work instructions, process flow diagrams, PFMEAs, control plans, and tool/fixture/equipment specifications to support production and service operations.
• Disposition of nonconforming material delivered by supplier or produced by production.
• Collaborate with suppliers and contract manufacturers to validate design changes, material substitutions, and implement supplier testing.
• Analyze production data to identify bottlenecks, drive improvements in capacity, quality, cost, and safety, and implement lean manufacturing solutions.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and technicians, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.

About You

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering or a closely related technical field.
• 6+ years of relevant experience in a commercial, product-driven manufacturing environment supporting a production line (robotics, automotive, aerospace, medical, or similar preferred).
