Build Innovative Electro-Mechanical Systems That Make an Impact

Are you a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer who enjoys solving real production challenges? We're looking for a Systems Manufacturing Engineer to join our Systems Manufacturing Group (SMG), supporting the production of complex electro-mechanical assemblies and systems.

This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who thrives on the manufacturing floor-not behind a desk. You'll work closely with technicians, quality, engineering, purchasing, and production leadership to troubleshoot systems, improve manufacturing processes, and help deliver high-quality products efficiently and safely.

If you enjoy problem-solving, continuous improvement, and making manufacturing processes better every day, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

As a Systems Manufacturing Engineer, you'll play a key role in supporting production from new product introduction through final assembly and testing.

Key Responsibilities

• Support production builds from release through final assembly and system testing.
• Troubleshoot electrical and electro-mechanical manufacturing issues involving:
  • Wiring and cable assemblies
  • Sensors and controls
  • Solenoids
  • Power supplies
  • Grounding
  • Pneumatic and vacuum systems
  • Heaters and thermal controls
  • Safety interlocks and E-Stops
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cable and harness drawings, mechanical drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and customer specifications.
• Create and improve:
  • Work instructions
  • Test procedures
  • Checklists
  • Troubleshooting guides
  • As-built documentation
• Support engineering change orders (ECOs/ECNs), BOM revisions, redline updates, non-conformance reports (NCRs), and production issue resolution.
• Assist with new product introduction (NPI), first-build readiness, and production readiness activities.
• Design practical manufacturing improvements including fixtures, tooling, assembly aids, cable routing enhancements, and test setups.
• Drive improvements in safety, quality, repeatability, production flow, and manufacturing efficiency.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with electro-mechanical assembly or systems integration.
• Strong electrical troubleshooting skills in a manufacturing environment.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Experience supporting manufacturing floor operations in a high-mix production environment.
• Experience developing or improving manufacturing documentation.
• Working knowledge of:
  • 24 VDC control systems
  • Relays
  • Safety interlocks
  • E-Stops
  • Power supplies
  • Sensors
  • Grounding
  • Machine safety concepts
• Strong communication skills with cross-functional teams including engineering, production, quality, purchasing, and technicians.
• Organized, collaborative, and solutions-oriented approach with the ability to drive issues through resolution.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in one or more of the following is highly desirable:

• Semiconductor equipment
• Medical device or life sciences manufacturing
• Automation or robotics
• Capital equipment manufacturing
• Contract manufacturing
• Complex electro-mechanical systems
• Electrical panel layout
• Cable harness fabrication
• Point-to-point wiring
• Functional testing and system acceptance testing
• PLC I/O troubleshooting
• Motors, flow switches, heaters, thermal controls, and solenoids
• ERP/MRP systems (Epicor preferred)
• SolidWorks or similar CAD software
• Root cause analysis and corrective actions
• New Product Introduction (NPI)
• First-build or production readiness reviews
• DOE or structured problem-solving methodologies

Education & Experience

We welcome candidates with a variety of educational and professional backgrounds.

Ideal candidates will have:

• 5–8 years of relevant manufacturing engineering experience

We will also consider:

• Engineers with 2–5 years of experience and a relevant engineering degree.
• Professionals with 5–10 years of strong hands-on manufacturing or technical experience.

Relevant education may include:

• Electrical Engineering
• Electro-Mechanical Engineering
• Manufacturing Engineering
• Mech
