Manufacturing Engineer - Electrical & Electronics integration

Role & Responsibilities:
I. Design Integration & Strategy (The Before the Build Phase)

• Support DFM/DFA activities during design reviews to ensure the manufacturability and serviceability of complex electrical systems.

• Define wire routing strategies ensuring safety, serviceability, and strict compliance with aerospace standards.

• Collaborate closely with design, quality, and supply chain teams to optimize build flow and reduce cycle time from the outset.

• Work with suppliers and internal teams to validate battery module assembly techniques and specialized tooling.

II. Process Development & Documentation

• Develop and implement manufacturing processes for aircraft battery installation, including enclosure assembly, mounting, thermal management, and electrical interfacing.

• Create and validate build processes for wiring harness routing, terminations, and connector assemblies.

• Develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Manufacturing Instructions (MIs), and detailed inspection criteria.

• Manage production data, including MBOM (Manufacturing Bill of Materials) preparation, Process Flow Diagrams, Control Plans, and PPAP/FAI documentation.

III. Shop Floor Execution & Troubleshooting

• Provide hands-on support to technicians on the shop floor during both prototype and serial production phases.

• Troubleshoot wiring and battery integration issues in real-time, implementing immediate corrective actions to maintain build schedules.

• Support the creation of harness assembly boards, work instructions, and functional test procedures.

• Drive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for non-conformances and lead continuous improvement efforts to prevent recurrence.

Technical Skills & Competencies

Electrical proficiency:

• Technical Drawing Fluency: Ability to read wiring harness drawings, circuit diagrams, connector views, and terminal call outs.

• Component Expertise: Deep understanding of wire grades/types, terminal selection, crimp specifications, sealing systems, splice methods, and protection standards (taping/sleeving).

• System Knowledge: Understanding of PCB interfaces, wiring harnesses, and busbar design.

Standards & Quality:
