    • Lead root-cause investigations and corrective actions for electrical failures occurring during manufacturing, integration, and field operations.
    • Collaborate with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and equipment integrators to develop and deploy scalable manufacturing solutions.
    • Support New Product Introduction (NPI) activities from prototype builds through production ramp.
    • Develop manufacturing documentation including work instructions, test procedures, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and troubleshooting guides.
    • Drive manufacturing automation initiatives to improve throughput, quality, and repeatability.
    • Ensure compliance with electrical safety requirements, ESD controls, and manufacturing best practices.
    • Lead and manage technical projects related to manufacturing process development, factory scaling, and test system deployment.
    • Support production teams by troubleshooting electrical and system-level integration issues and implementing corrective actions.

    Required Qualifications:

    • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
    • 5+ years of experience in electrical engineering, manufacturing engineering, test engineering, or related roles in robotics, automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, or advanced hardware industries.
    • Strong understanding of electrical system integration, PCB assemblies, wiring harnesses, sensors, actuators, and embedded electronics.
    • Experience troubleshooting complex electrical systems using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.
    • Experience developing manufacturing test systems, automated test equipment, or production validation processes.
    • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols such as EtherCAT, CAN, RS-485, Ethernet, or similar.
    • Experience reading and creating schematics, wiring diagrams, and electrical documentation.
    • Strong project management and cross-functional collaboration skills.
    • Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical problems in fast-paced development and manufacturing environments.

    Preferred Qualifications:

    • Experience with humanoid robotics, industrial robotics, autonomous systems, or other complex electromechanical products.
    • Experience with servo drives, motor controllers, encoders, batteries, and power distribution systems.
    • Experience with PLC programming and industrial automation systems.
    • Experience developing end-of-line test systems, firmware flashing processes, and automated validation tools.
    • Familiarity with manufacturing execution systems (MES), production data systems, and factory automation.
    • Knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Test (DFT), PFMEA, and Lean Manufacturing principles.
    • Experience supporting factory scale-up and high-volume production environments.

    Benefits:

    • We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.

    Salary:

    • The annual compensation is $165,000+. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, and experience
