Methods Engineer

About the Role We are seeking a detail-oriented Methods Engineer (Electrical Engineering focus) to support manufacturing and field operations within rail systems production. In this role, you will bridge engineering design and shop-floor execution by developing clear, standardized work instructions and ensuring manufacturing readiness of electrical systems. You will play a key role in translating complex engineering data into actionable, technician-friendly procedures that improve quality, efficiency, and safety across production, installation, and retrofit activities. Key Responsibilities Develop, revise, and standardize electrical work instructions, travelers, and SOPs for production, installation, retrofit, teardown, and testing. Translate engineering drawings, OEM manuals, BOMs, and technical documents into clear step-by-step procedures. Wiring installation and removal Harness routing, termination, and labeling Electrical cabinet assembly/disassembly HV/LV system upgrades and modifications Equipment retrofits Functional testing and inspections Validate engineering BOMs (EBOM) and manufacturing BOMs (MBOM) for accuracy and production readiness. Support ECR/ECO/CCB implementation and evaluate shop-floor impact. Review schematics, drawings, and material lists to ensure alignment with production requirements. Maintain revision control and configuration traceability. Act as a technical liaison between engineering, production, quality, and field teams. Troubleshoot manufacturing issues related to wiring, materials, installation, and tooling gaps. Support pilot builds, first article inspections (FAI), and customer or regulatory audits. Identify bottlenecks and drive process improvements in efficiency and quality. Define tools, equipment, consumables, and materials required for production processes. Ensure compliance with electrical safety standards, including LOTO, grounding, and applicable regulations. Support internal and external audits with accurate documentation and process control. Develop and deliver training for technicians on new or updated procedures. Facilitate knowledge transfer from engineering and OEM partners to production teams. Participate in Lean Manufacturing, process optimization, and digital transformation initiatives (MES, ERP, workflow systems). What We’re Looking For Electrical Engineering background or equivalent technical experience Experience in manufacturing, rail, automotive, aerospace, or industrial systems preferred Strong ability to interpret electrical schematics and engineering drawings Experience with BOMs, ECN/ECO processes, and production documentation Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail Ability to communicate clearly with both engineering and shop-floor teams Why Join Us Work on complex, large-scale rail and electrical systems Direct impact on manufacturing quality and operational efficiency Collaborative environment across engineering, production, and field teams Opportunities to drive continuous improvement and process innovation #J-18808-Ljbffr
