customer requirements and timelines.
· Plan and execute Prototype, NPI, and Pilot builds to meet customer
quality and delivery expectations.
· Develop, document, and sustain manufacturing processes for
electronic assemblies and large system integrations.
· Manage BOMs, assess customer specifications, and ensure their
effective deployment in manufacturing.
· Lead the design and implementation of manufacturing processes
including SMT, Wave Soldering, Conformal Coating, and Box Build system
integration.
· Develop necessary tooling, documentation, and procedures to ensure
smooth NPI execution and efficient knowledge transfer to production units.
· Demonstrate hands-on experience in Cable Harness manufacturing
processes.
· Lead mechanical parts development, particularly sheet metal
components, and oversee the assembly of large systems such as LRUs, Cabinets,
Electrical Power Boxes, and other integrated products.
· Ensure effective utilization of Smart Torque tools and MES systems
for process control and traceability.
· Apply DFM, FMEA, Control Plan, APQP, and FAI methodologies to
ensure robust product and process quality.
· Review RFQs, plan NRE requirements, and estimate manufacturing
costs to develop competitive proposals.
· Collaborate with Business Development and customers to identify
technology requirements and align capabilities to business growth strategies.
· Engage with external partners and industry bodies to assess new
technologies, infrastructure, and skill sets required for future business
opportunities.
· Promote Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma principles to drive
process excellence and operational efficiency.
· Ensure best practices, lessons learned, and continuous improvement
initiatives are shared across the NPI and Production teams.
· Maintain compliance with customer, regulatory, and quality
management system requirements, especially for Aerospace and Defense
manufacturing standards.
· Education: BE/B.Tech in Electrical, Electronics, or Mechanical Engineering.
· Certifications: Six Sigma Green Belt and/or Lean Manufacturing certification preferred.
· Experience: Minimum 20+
years of experience in Electronic/Electrical Manufacturing,
particularly in large electrical system integration involving bus bars,
electrical components, and cable harnesses for high-power systems.
