You will own and execute wire harness programs from engineering release through production readiness. You will develop manufacturing documentation, define build processes, and drive program-level improvements.

What you will do

• Own manufacturing readiness for assigned harness programs from kickoff through release
• Develop engineering packages including work instructions, formboards, and basic tooling and fixture concepts
• Translate drawings, BOMs, and customer requirements into clear, production-ready processes
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure programs meet quality, schedule, and manufacturability expectations
• Provide technical clarity and guidance during program reviews and build planning
• Define and refine manufacturing processes to improve build quality, consistency, and efficiency
• Evaluate parts and assemblies to determine practical, scalable build approaches
• Support process validation, workflow optimization, and equipment/tooling readiness
• Apply lean principles, time studies, and capacity considerations to improve throughput
• Identify improvement opportunities within assigned programs and drive implementation

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related STEM field, or equivalent hands-on experience
• 3–5 years of manufacturing engineering experience in production environments (wire harness, electrical assembly, aerospace, electronics, or similar)
• Experience supporting or owning manufacturing builds or programs end-to-end
• Working knowledge of process development and documentation
• Working knowledge of Lean manufacturing and 5S
• Working knowledge of time studies and basic capacity planning
• Working knowledge of CAD tools for creating assembly drawings and formboards
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to execute with moderate autonomy
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Effective communication skills across engineering, production, and quality teams

Nice to have

• Experience with IPC/WHMA-A-620 and/or NASA STD 8739.4
• Background in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability manufacturing
• Experience in contract manufacturing or high-mix production
• Hands-on familiarity with harness fabrication, testing, or assembly
• Exposure to MES/ERP systems
• Experience supporting NPI or early-stage production builds
• Exposure to structured continuous improvement methodologies (Kaizen, Six Sigma)

Benefits

• Equity participation
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life and long-term disability coverage
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Dependent Spending Account (DSA)
• 20 vacation days per year and 12 company holidays
• 401(k) plan
• Vinyl collection addition
• $50/month DoorDash credit
