About the role
This role involves supporting complex electro-mechanical assemblies used in advanced test systems.
What you'll do
- Partner with design engineering to influence architecture, material selection, manufacturing methods, critical specifications, and supplier selection.
- Translate drawings, bills of materials, assembly documentation, and functional requirements into clear supplier deliverables.
- Assess and qualify suppliers through design-for-manufacturability reviews, supplier assessments, process capability studies, pilot builds, and audits.
- Develop suppliers for electro-mechanical assemblies, including mechanical components, electrical interfaces, harnesses, cables, and connectors.
- Collaborate across design, manufacturing engineering, operations, supplier quality, and commodity management to resolve quality issues and improve yield.
- Support lifecycle readiness through approved vendor alignment, supplier change control, and continuity-of-supply planning.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Systems engineering.
- 5 to 8 years of experience in supplier engineering, product engineering, process development, quality engineering, or electro-mechanical assembly manufacturing.
- Strong understanding of electro-mechanical design intent, mechanical fit and function, electrical interfaces, and material selection.
- Experience with electro-mechanical assembly processes such as precision mechanical fabrication, cable or harness integration, connector installation, and torque and fastening controls.
- Experience with supplier and assembly qualification, first article inspection, bill of materials and drawing reviews, design for manufacturability, PFMEA, control plans, statistical process control, and Gage R&R.
- Ability to translate design intent and product documentation into supplier requirements, measurable controls, and inspection strategies.
Nice to have
- Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-up, datum strategy, electrical and mechanical interface requirements, CMM, vision, and functional test expectations.
- Experience with cable and connector integration, fixture and tooling reviews, torque and fastening requirements, adhesive or bonding processes, plating, coating, and surface finish.
- Experience with fixture design, mistake-proofing tooling, inspection plans, supplier process validation, and electro-mechanical functional test validation.
- Six Sigma Green Belt, Black Belt, or equivalent data-driven quality experience.
- Experience working with a global supply base.
