Preferred Skills + Proficient with 3D CAD (SolidWorks or NX), GD&T (ASME Y14.5), and tolerance stack-up analysis. + Strong experience in precision electromechanical assembly processes, including soldering, crimping, potting, adhesive bonding, and cleanroom/ESD protocols. + Familiarity with ERP/MES systems and manufacturing execution for full aerospace traceability. + Working knowledge of environmental stress screening (ESS), vibration, thermal cycling, and functional test integration for avionics. + Direct work on missile, hypersonic, or high-reliability avionics systems for DoD programs. + Experience in fast-paced defense or space environments (e.g., Anduril or SpaceX) + Background with harsh-environment electronics (high-G, thermal extremes, radiation). + Track record of implementing automation for electromechanical assembly and achieving significant cost or cycle-time reductions. + Familiarity with ITAR-controlled programs and classified manufacturing protocols. ## Description Our client is seeking a senior manufacturing engineer with deep expertise in the high-reliability assembly and integration of avionics and electromechanical systems for hypersonic missile vehicles. This role focuses on developing, optimizing, and scaling manufacturing processes for complex avionics hardware-including printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA), wire harnesses, electronic enclosures, sensors, actuators, connectors, and electromechanical subassemblies-to achieve repeatable, high-yield production. You will serve as the technical authority on avionics electromechanical manufacturing, partnering with design, integration & test, quality, supply chain, and automation teams to transition advanced avionics from prototype to high-rate production while meeting stringent DoD, AS9100, IPC, and mission-critical reliability standards. Functions + Lead manufacturing process development for avionics electromechanical assembly, including PCBA integration, conformal coating, potting, wire harness routing, connector termination, and enclosure sealing. + Design and qualify production tooling, fixtures, automated work cells, and test equipment for precision electromechanical build and functional verification. + Execute Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), PFMEA, and control plans to drive first-pass yield >95% and aggressive cycle-time reduction. + Establish statistical process control (SPC), in-process inspection, and metrology strategies for critical avionics parameters (torque, continuity, insulation resistance, leak testing). + Scale production from low-rate initial production (LRIP) to full-rate manufacturing, including line balancing, capacity modeling, and cost-reduction initiatives. + Perform root-cause analysis and corrective actions for assembly defects using 8D, fishbone, and fault-tree methods; support MRB/FRB dispositions. + Author and maintain detailed work instructions, travelers, and quality records compliant with customer requirements. + Collaborate with suppliers on incoming material qualification for PCBs, connectors, and electromechanical components. + Drive continuous improvement projects targeting cost, quality, and throughput for next-generation hypersonic avionics programs. ## Related Videos - [XR Demystified: Separating Facts from Fiction in 2024](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1117-xr-demystified-separating-facts-from-fiction-in-2024) - [What Production Knows: Closing the Loop Between AI Agents and the Systems They Build](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100277-what-production-knows-closing-the-loop-between-ai-agents-and-the-systems-they-build) - [TresJS a new declarative ThreeJS as Vue components](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/543-tresjs-a-new-declarative-threejs-as-vue-components) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Google Gemma and Open Source AI Models - Clement Farabet](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1354-google-gemma-and-open-source-ai-models-clement-farabet) - [Cross platform Augmented Reality development with React Native](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/160-cross-platform-augmented-reality-development-with-react-native) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology)
