Manufacturing Engineer

Position Summary
Pegatron Technologies LLC is seeking a driven, detail-oriented Manufacturing Engineer to join our team in Georgetown, TX. In this role, you will analyze, design, and optimize our production processes, workflows, and line layouts to maximize efficiency and product quality. Because our facility supports high-tech hardware assembly and advanced testing infrastructure, your responsibilities will bridge traditional manufacturing methods with active support in automation, test engineering, and quality assurance processes.
This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career engineer or a recent graduate with 0 to 3 years of experience who wants hands-on exposure to a fast-paced, high-tech manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

Process & Production Engineering

• Optimize production line layouts and implement continuous improvement strategies to enhance overall throughput and cycle times.
• Create, update, and maintain detailed manufacturing work instructions, workmanship standards, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, or software issues on the assembly line to minimize production downtime.

Automation Support

• Assist in identifying opportunities to integrate automation and robotics into existing assembly and packaging lines.
• Collaborate with automation technicians to deploy, monitor, and optimize programmed machinery and equipment.

Test Engineering Support

• Assist the validation team with hardware evaluations and cross-functional performance test suites.
• Work with existing test automation scripts (e.g., Python or Bash) to monitor systems and capture diagnostic and telemetry data.

Quality Assurance & Control

• Monitor factory processes to embed quality metrics throughout the production life cycle.
• Conduct formal root-cause analysis (RCA) on component failures, line defects, or test yields, and implement corrective actions.
• Help audit supplier materials and inspect final builds against strict engineering and regulatory standards.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a closely related STEM field.
• Experience: 0-3 years of experience in a manufacturing or electronic assembly environment. (Relevant internship, co-op, or senior design project experience counts toward this timeline).
• Technical Skills:
  • Basic familiarity with manufacturing principles (Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, 5S).
  • Foundational understanding of testing workflows and scripting (Python, Bash, or SQL) is a strong plus.
  • Exposure to CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) for layout designs.
• Soft Skills: Strong analytical problem-solving abilities, excellent documentation skills, and the capacity to adapt quickly to changing production demands.
