JOB SUMMARY

The Test Systems Engineer is responsible for the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of electronic test systems used to validate electro-mechanical assemblies and printed circuit boards. This role supports both hardware and software aspects of testing, including LabVIEW-based applications, custom-built test equipment, and associated fixtures.

The position ensures test systems are reliable, repeatable, and capable of accurately identifying product defects. The Test Systems Engineer will work with a mix of existing and legacy systems, many of which require documentation, redesign, and performance improvements. This role requires a hands-on approach, working directly with test equipment, wiring, software, and hardware to support production and engineering activities.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBLITIES

Develop and maintain manufacturing processes for electro-mechanical assemblies (cable harnesses, PCB integration, mechanical subassemblies). Create and control work instructions, travelers, and process documentation in accordance with QMS requirements. Define tooling, fixtures, and equipment requirements to support efficient production. Support Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) initiatives. Provide hands-on engineering support to assembly operations, troubleshooting process and product issues. Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for nonconformances using structured methodologies (e.g., 5 Why, Fishbone, RCCA). . Ensure proper configuration control of BOMs, drawings, and revisions at job release. Establish process controls to ensure repeatability and compliance with engineering and quality requirements. Validate manufacturing processes, including special processes such as soldering, bonding, and torque application. Identify and implement key process indicators (KPIs) for yield, efficiency, and defect reduction. Support risk management activities including PFMEA and control plans. Lead Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives to reduce waste, improve throughput, and optimize labor efficiency. Analyze production data to identify trends and implement corrective/preventive actions. Improve workflow, layout, and material flow within assembly areas.

Pre-requisite Knowledge, Skills and Education:

Strong knowledge of electro-mechanical assembly processes (wiring, crimping, soldering, PCB integration). Familiarity with IPC standards (e.g., IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, IPC/WHMA-A-620). Experience with ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing documentation control. Proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings, schematics, and BOMs. Experience with root cause analysis and continuous improvement methodologies. Knowledge of ASME Y14.5M, of GD&T, and must understand the x, y, z coordinate system. Knowledge of AS9100 or

ISO 9001 QMS

requirements. Experience with PFMEA, and control plans. Lean/Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or higher preferred). Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced production environment. High attention to detail and commitment to quality and compliance. Effective communication skills (written and verbal). Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines.

Education and Experience:

Bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience). 8+ years of manufacturing engineering experience in electro-mechanical assembly environments. Experience in aerospace, avionics, or other regulated industries preferred.
