Senior QA / Manufacturing Engineer

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Process qualification for all assembly operations: weld quality, fastener torque, sealing/leak testing, harness routing, and module final assembly
• Incoming piece part inspection program: defining acceptance criteria, inspection methods, and sampling plans for all purchased components
• In-line quality checkpoints: developing and maintaining inspection records, checklists, and non-conformance workflows
• End-of-line functional test support: working with electrical engineering to ensure test criteria are well-defined and test processes are executable by line operators
• Assembly tooling development: specifying, procuring, and validating fixtures, torque tools, leak test rigs, and other production tooling
• Manufacturing BOM (mBOM) creation and maintenance, ensuring the manufacturing view of the product reflects current-state processes
• Production scheduling and line planning: managing which products run, when, and at what rate given capacity and demand
• Continuous process improvement: identifying and closing quality escapes, driving root cause investigations, and implementing corrective actions

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing and/or quality engineering for complex electromechanical assemblies
• Demonstrated experience qualifying assembly processes, written process qualification records, control plans, and work instructions you have personally developed
• Hands-on experience with mechanical quality requirements: weld inspection, torque verification, leak/water ingress testing
• Working knowledge of electrical fundamentals: ability to read wiring diagrams and harness schematics, understand connector and wire gauge specifications, and follow basic electrical inspection criteria
• Experience developing or supporting end-of-line functional test programs for electromechanical products
• Comfortable creating and managing mBOMs in a PDM or ERP environment
• Able to lead root cause investigations and write clear, actionable corrective action reports
• Self-directed and organized: able to manage multiple open work streams without losing detail

BONUS POINTS

• Experience with battery module or power electronics assembly processes
• Background in aerospace, defense, automotive, or marine industries where process rigor and traceability are required
• Familiarity with IP67 or IP68 sealing processes and leak test methodologies
• Six Sigma, APQP, PPAP, or similar structured quality methodologies
• Experience using or programming electrical test equipment (even if not the primary owner of test development)
