Job Description

The Manufacturing Engineer acts as the primary liaison between the program office and prime contractor, ensuring all component and manufacturing engineering activities for circuit card assemblies, electronic subassemblies, and line-replaceable units meet program and regulatory requirements. This role manages day-to-day operations, oversees component lifecycle, and ensures compliance through participation in control boards, risk reviews, and material review processes. Responsibilities include conducting manufacturing assessments, providing technical recommendations to improve producibility and reliability, and supporting design-to-production transitions with emphasis on yield improvements, capacity analysis, and mission assurance. The engineer evaluates proposals for technical, cost, and schedule risks, addresses material shortages and obsolescence issues, and drives corrective actions through failure analysis and non-conformance reviews. Additional duties include reviewing system designs for manufacturability, recommending inspection and test methods, and applying statistical analysis to verify reliability. The position also requires coordination across disciplines—such as design, logistics, quality, and supply chain—to implement process controls, inspection planning, and production deployment strategies, while monitoring KPIs and preparing technical reports. Active participation in configuration control boards, supplier assessments, and documentation reviews (e.g., GIDEP alerts, process verification reports) ensures compliance and continuous improvement throughout the product lifecycle.
