About the role
- Provide advanced technical leadership for Large Form Assembly (LFA) electrical manufacturing operations.
- Architect, standardize, and continuously improve electrical assembly processes across NPI, production ramp, and sustaining phases.
- Develop scalable, safe, and highly repeatable electrical manufacturing systems through DFM, DFA, PFMEA, risk assessments, and structured problem-solving methodologies.
- Lead the development, review, and control of electrical manufacturing documentation including work instructions, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, wire lists, connection schedules, SOPs, and bill of materials.
- Conduct DFM and DFA reviews during NPI to ensure electrical designs are optimized for manufacturability, build efficiency, ergonomics, and defect prevention.
- Develop, maintain, and update PFMEA documentation and structure risk assessments for electrical assembly processes.
- Define and standardize electrical wiring methodologies, routing practices, labeling standards, crimp validation methods, and workmanship requirements.
- Design, develop, and optimize wire harnesses, subassemblies, and wire kits to improve build repeatability, quality, and takt alignment.
- Develop and optimize electrical build sequences to improve safety, ergonomics, takt time alignment, and overall labor efficiency (OLE).
- Break down complex engineering drawings into simplified, trainable, production-ready work instructions for multi-level operator capability.
- Lead implementation and optimization of automated wire processing equipment to reduce variation and labor intensity.
- Partner with Industrial, Manufacturing, Controls, and Test Engineering to improve electrical assembly flow, ergonomics, line balance, and defect reduction.
- Provide advanced hands-on troubleshooting support for electrical build issues.
- Support equipment commissioning, FAT/SAT, and system acceptance activities related to electrical integration and manufacturing readiness.
- Ensure controlled documentation and ECN discipline throughout NPI, ramp, and sustaining production phases.
- Lead continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, quality, labor efficiency, cost reduction, and process standardization.
- Identify and implement opportunities to improve system reliability, reduce rework, and lower total cost of ownership.
- Serve as escalation point and technical mentor for junior engineers and technicians.
Requirements
- Minimum of 7–10 years of progressive experience in electrical manufacturing, industrial electrical engineering, or related roles.
- Demonstrated experience leading DFM/DFA initiatives and process optimization projects.
- Experience developing and maintaining PFMEA and risk mitigation documentation.
- Strong experience reading, reviewing, and interpreting electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts.
- Hands-on experience with electrical assembly processes, wire harnessing, and panel wiring in a manufacturing environment.
- Experience developing structured manufacturing documentation including SOPs, standard work, and visual training aids.
- Working knowledge of applicable electrical and safety standards (e.g., UL, NEC, NFPA 70E).
- Experience supporting NPI launches, production ramps, and sustaining operations.
