Manufacturing Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer - PCB/PCBA to lead PCB assembly, electronic module manufacturing, and testing for UAV platforms. This execution-focused role translates electronic designs into production-ready assemblies meeting aerospace-grade quality, reliability, and performance requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, standardize, and continuously improve EWIs, OMS, and SOPs for PCB/PCBA manufacture and testing.
• Optimize assembly processes for complex electronic systems, including SMT and through-hole assembly, soldering, inspection, and module assembly.
• Co-own electronic system integration into the airframe with the integration & assembly team and harness manufacturing engineer; validate module functionality and interfaces.
• Drive MES implementation for electronics manufacturing standardization and digitization; design and implement workflows for real-time visibility and traceability.
• Map and analyze PCB/PCBA processes, including routing, cycle time, takt time, and material flow.
• Standardize manufacturing data, including work instructions, routing, machine parameters, and quality checkpoints for electronic assembly.
• Establish component, board, module, and test traceability aligned with production and quality requirements.
• Define workstation layouts, line balancing, and operator allocation to meet takt and efficiency targets.
• Support production assembly and procurement (SCM), including electronic component sourcing, PCB fabrication and assembly outsourcing, and functional testing at IQC and vendors.
• Investigate and resolve electronic failures at component level using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers; coordinate interconnection issues with the harness manufacturing engineer.
• Lead PCB/PCBA and electronic module NPI from prototype to full-scale production, ensuring scalable manufacturing.
• Implement electronic subsystem assembly and testing to improve process stability, repeatability, and defect reduction.
• Validate and install electronics manufacturing tools, equipment, test fixtures, and automated testers for board and subsystem testing.
