• Participate in failure analysis on field returns—trace root cause to component, wiring, or procedural sources

• Develop and refine manufacturing electrical test fixtures, breakout boards, and harness verification jigs
• Write and maintain work instructions for recurring electrical assembly tasks, written for technician execution; flag and redline discrepancies between drawings and physical builds
• Manage and maintain complex Bills of Materials (BOMs), process routings, and manufacturing documentation
• Collaborate with supply chain on component BOM accuracy, approved vendor lists, and incoming inspection criteria

• Lead cross‑functional NPI efforts with engineering, quality, and production teams to ensure seamless transition from prototype to full‑scale production
• Partner with product and process engineers to evaluate manufacturability during early design phases and standardize assembly processes across product lines
• Participate in design reviews (PDR, CDR, build reviews) with a manufacturing lens—flag producibility and testability gaps
• Oversee ECRs and ECOs; submit and track wiring changes while maintaining Duro BOM accuracy for electrical assemblies

• Contribute to facility layout planning, tooling design, capacity modeling, and equipment selection to support long‑term manufacturing scalability
• Support capital planning for electrical test equipment, panel fabrication, and production tooling

• Mentor and support electrical technicians during production ramp

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Manufacturing Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering or process engineering in a product‑based or construction‑focused environment.
• Proficiency reading and interpreting electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts
• Familiarity with VFDs, servo drives, and associated wiring practices
• Understanding of wire harness fabrication, cable management, and connector termination standards
• Proven experience across mechanical and electrical system manufacturing, including mobile or large‑scale machinery.
• Hands‑on experience with welding, fabrication, and electro‑mechanical assemblies.
• Deep understanding of process documentation, quality standards, and configuration management practices.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks or other parametric CAD tools.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills to facilitate collaboration across teams.
• Ability to lift 50 lbs unassisted and support hands‑on troubleshooting in a factory environment.

• Advanced data analytics skills with the ability to use metrics and statistical tools for process optimization and problem‑solving.
• Experience managing third‑party certifications (NRTL, CE) and navigating product compliance pathways.
• Demonstrated ownership of process definition and implementation in a fast‑paced, iterative R&D‑to‑production environment.
• Strong systems thinking with the ability to synthesize mechanical, electrical, and software elements into streamlined manufacturing processes.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities with a flexible, solution‑oriented mindset.
