## Description

The EE System Manufacturing Engineer V/VI is a senior-level role that bridges electrical design and production. This position owns the manufacturability, testability, and production readiness of Zone 5's electrical systems - including circuit card assemblies, wire harnesses, and avionics subassemblies - and drives quality and yield improvements as programs ramp to rate production.

Responsibilities:

 * Design for Manufacturing & Test: Partner with Electrical Engineering early in design to drive DFM/DFT practices for PCBAs, harnesses, and electrical assemblies.

 * Production Readiness: Develop work instructions, build processes, and production test procedures to transition designs from prototype to production.

 * Production Test: Define and implement production and acceptance test equipment and fixtures (functional testers, harness testers, ATE), including test software and data collection.

 * Quality & Yield: Monitor production metrics, lead root cause and corrective action (RCCA) investigations, and drive yield improvements.

 * Nonconformance Management: Disposition nonconforming material and support Material Review Board (MRB) activities.

 * Supplier Support: Work with contract manufacturers and suppliers on process capability, first article inspections (AS9102), and quality issues.

 * Change Implementation: Implement engineering change orders on the production floor and ensure configuration control of production builds.

 * Process Improvement: Apply lean manufacturing principles to reduce cost, cycle time, and rework.

 * Mentorship: Mentor engineers and technicians in manufacturing engineering and electrical workmanship best practices.
