Back to jobsTroubleshoot and resolve mechanical and electrical hardware issues that arise during assembly, integration, and final test — diagnosing problems on the floor and implementing fixes that hold up in production, not just on the current build.
Lead root-cause investigations using structured problem-solving methods — including Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), Fishbone diagrams, and Eight Disciplines (8D) — and implement permanent corrective actions that prevent recurrence in future builds and at customer sites.
Develop and maintain assembly instructions, work instructions, and technician training materials that are clear enough for a technician to follow accurately the first time — then update them when engineering changes or lessons learned require it.
Execute engineering changes, deviations, and rework directives in production, assessing the impact on active builds and coordinating implementation with planning and the shop floor to avoid schedule disruption.
Contribute to manufacturing readiness reviews, design reviews, and tool risk assessments, bringing the production perspective to engineering decisions before designs reach the factory floor — not after.
Partner with Design Engineering, Quality, Field Service, and Supply Chain to close the loop on factory and field issues, ensuring that problems found during build or at customer sites result in permanent design or process changes rather than repeated workarounds.
Drive continuous improvement in manufacturability, build repeatability, and product quality, identifying patterns across builds that point to cost reduction, cycle time improvement, or defect elimination opportunities — then implementing changes and measuring results.
