    Introduction to the Job

    The Senior Manufacturing Engineer – Solid-State Power Pulse Modules (SSPPM) supports high‑reliability, high-voltage electronics manufacturing and testing by ensuring stable, capable, and cost‑efficient production processes. This role focuses on manufacturing process engineering, continuous improvement, and process control for power distribution systems in a high‑technology manufacturing environment.

    Roles and Responsibilities

    In your role as Manufacturing Engineer, you are responsible for ensuring efficient production processes and high-quality outcomes. You work closely with cross-functional teams, including production, quality, and engineering.

    • Own and sustain solid-state power-pulse module (SSPPM) manufacturing processes to ensure stable quality, yield, and throughput.
    • Monitor and improve process performance using data analysis (yield trends, defect paretos, process capability/Cpk).
    • Apply statistical and structured problem‑solving methods (SPC, DOE, FMEA) to identify root causes, reduce variation, and ensure process capability.
    • Lead troubleshooting of complex electro‑mechanical system build and test issues; drive containment, corrective actions, and prevention of recurrence.
    • Partner cross‑functionally with Quality, Production, and Design Engineering to resolve non‑conformances and improve product robustness.
    • Maintain and continuously improve manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, standard work, and control plans.
    • Execute change management activities (COs, TDNs) to ensure controlled and compliant process updates.
    • Identify and implement improvements to yield, cycle time, cost, and equipment performance using Lean manufacturing principles.
    • Support equipment optimization, tooling improvements, and preventive maintenance strategies.
    • Provide hands‑on support in production and cleanroom environments to validate process changes and drive execution.
    • Train and support production personnel on system‑level assembly, integration, and test processes.
    • Other duties as assigned; job description subject to change at any time

    Education and Experience

    Minimum Qualifications

    • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Manufacturing or related Engineering field.
    • 5+ years of experience in manufacturing or process engineering, preferably in power distribution, electronics or precision electro-mechanical assemblies.
    • Experience with statistical methods including SPC, DOE, FMEA, and process capability analysis.
    • Hands‑on experience troubleshooting complex manufacturing processes in a production environment.
    • Familiarity with documentation control, BOM structures, and change management processes.
    • Proficiency with data analysis tools (e.g., JMP, Minitab, Excel, or similar).

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience working with high‑voltage power systems, lithography, or complex hardware systems.
    • Lean Six Sigma certification or formal continuous improvement training.
    • Experience with automated test systems and metrology equipment.

    Skills

    You bring a passion for problem-solving and teamwork to the Manufacturing Engineer position. You are detail-oriented, adaptable, and eager to learn. In addition, you possess:

    • Strong analytical and data‑driven problem‑solving capability.
    • Ability to diagnose complex process issues and implement sustainable solutions.
    • Hands‑on, detail‑oriented approach with strong ownership of results.
    • Effective communication and collaboration across engineering and production teams.
    • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.
    • Continuous improvement mindset with focus on yield, cost, and process stability.
    • Proficient use of Microsoft Office tools.

    Other Information

    • This position requires regular onsite presence and hands‑on work in a cleanroom and manufacturing environment.
    • May require occasional travel based on business needs (<10%).
    • Role includes time on the production floor supporting power module assembly and test operations.

    The current base annual salary range for this role is currently:

    $102,375-153,563
