Systems Manufacturing Engineer

Full-Time | Manufacturing Engineering | Electrical Systems Focus

Build Innovative Electro-Mechanical Systems That Make an Impact

Are you a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer who enjoys solving real production challenges? We're looking for a Systems Manufacturing Engineer to join our Systems Manufacturing Group (SMG), supporting the production of complex electro-mechanical assemblies and systems.

This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who thrives on the manufacturing floor-not behind a desk. You'll work closely with technicians, quality, engineering, purchasing, and production leadership to troubleshoot systems, improve manufacturing processes, and help deliver high-quality products efficiently and safely.

If you enjoy problem-solving, continuous improvement, and making manufacturing processes better every day, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

As a Systems Manufacturing Engineer, you'll play a key role in supporting production from new product introduction through final assembly and testing.

Key Responsibilities

• Support production builds from release through final assembly and system testing.
• Troubleshoot electrical and electro-mechanical manufacturing issues involving:
  • Wiring and cable assemblies
  • Sensors and controls
  • Solenoids
  • Power supplies
  • Grounding
  • Pneumatic and vacuum systems
  • Heaters and thermal controls
  • Safety interlocks and E-Stops
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cable and harness drawings, mechanical drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and customer specifications.
• Create and improve:
  • Work instructions
  • Test procedures
  • Checklists
  • Troubleshooting guides
  • As-built documentation
• Support engineering change orders (ECOs/ECNs), BOM revisions, redline updates, non-conformance reports (NCRs), and production issue resolution.
• Assist with new product introduction (NPI), first-build readiness, and production readiness activities.
• Design practical manufacturing improvements including fixtures, tooling, assembly aids, cable routing enhancements, and test setups.
• Drive improvements in safety, quality, repeatability, production flow, and manufacturing efficiency.

What We're Looking ForRequired Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with electro-mechanical assembly or systems integration.
• Strong electrical troubleshooting skills in a manufacturing environment.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Experience supporting manufacturing floor operations in a high-mix production environment.
• Experience developing or improving manufacturing documentation.
• Working knowledge of:
  • 24 VDC control systems
  • Relays
  • Safety interlocks
  • E-Stops
  • Power supplies
  • Sensors
  • Grounding
  • Machine safety concepts
• Strong communication skills with cross-functional teams including engineering, production, quality, purchasing, and technicians.
• Organized, collaborative, and solutions-oriented approach with the ability to drive issues through resolution.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in one or more of the following is highly desirable:

• Semiconductor equipment
• Medical device or life sciences manufacturing
• Automation or robotics
• Capital equipment manufacturing
• Contract manufacturing
• Complex electro-mechanical systems
• Electrical panel layout
• Cable harness fabrication
• Point-to-point wiring
• Functional testing and system acceptance testing
• PLC I/O troubleshooting
• Motors, flow switches, heaters, thermal controls, and solenoids
• ERP/MRP systems (Epicor preferred)
• SolidWorks or similar CAD software
• Root cause analysis and corrective actions
• New Product Introduction (NPI)
• First-build or production readiness reviews
• DOE or structured problem-solving methodologies

Education & Experience

We welcome candidates with a variety of educational and professional backgrounds.

Ideal candidates will have:

• 5–8 years of relevant manufacturing engineering experience

We will also consider:

• Engineers with 2–5 years of experience and a relevant engineering degree.
• Professionals with 5–10 years of strong hands-on manufacturing or technical experience.

Relevant education may include:

• Electrical Engineering
• Electro-Mechanical Engineering
• Manufacturing Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering Technology
• Controls Engineering
• Military electronics experience
• Senior technician experience with strong manufacturing expertise

Practical electrical troubleshooting skills, manufacturing judgment, communication, and documentation abilities are valued just as highly as formal education.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on manufacturing operations while working with a collaborative, highly skilled team.

We Offer

• Competitive compensation
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Opportunities for professional growth and career advancement
• Ongoing technical training and development
• Collaborative, team-oriented environment
• Exposure to complex electro-mechanical systems and advanced manufacturing technologies
• A culture focused on innovation, continuous improvement, and operational excellence
