How will you make an impact? 

The Senior Manufacturing Electrical Engineer provides advanced technical leadership for Large Form Assembly (LFA) electrical manufacturing operations. This role is responsible for architecting, standardizing, and continuously improving electrical assembly processes across NPI, production ramp, and sustaining phases. This position leads the development of scalable, safe, and highly repeatable electrical manufacturing systems through the application of Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), PFMEA, risk assessments, and structured problem-solving methodologies. The Sr. Engineer ensures electrical designs are production-ready, documentation is simplified for operator training, and manufacturing execution aligns with safety, quality, delivery, and cost objective.

What will you do?

• 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 (cutting, stripping, labeling, ferruling, crimping) 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 including wiring discrepancies, grounding concerns, component integration, and documentation gaps.
• Support equipment commissioning, FAT/SAT, and system acceptance activities as they relate 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 within electrical manufacturing operations.
• Own and define electrical manufacturing strategy for LFA products including panel builds, harness assemblies, power distribution systems, and control integration.

How will you get here? 

Education: 

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.

Experience: ​

• 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.
• Experience supporting NPI and production builds, including issue resolution and documentation updates.

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities:

• Advanced understanding of electrical manufacturing methodologies, panel assembly techniques, grounding/bonding practices, and industrial power distribution systems (480VAC / 120VAC / 24VDC).
• Experience creating and maintaining electrical documentation using tools such as EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, or equivalent ECAD platforms.
• Strong knowledge of wire harness design, routing strategies, strain relief, labeling standards, and crimp validation best practices.
• Experience developing wire kitting strategies to improve material readiness and line-side efficiency.
• Familiarity with automated wire cutting, stripping, labeling, ferruling, and crimping machines.
• Ability to identify and eliminate non-value-added steps in electrical assembly processes using lean methodologies.
• Strong root cause analysis and structured problem-solving skills (8D, DMAIC, A3).
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills within a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and support fast-paced manufacturing operations.
