Senior Manufacturing Engineer – Solid State Power Pulse Modules (SSPPM)

Introduction to the Job The Senior Manufacturing Engineer – Solid-State Power Pulse Modules (SSPPM) supports high‑reliability, high-voltage electronics manufacturing and testing by ensuring stable, capable, and cost‑efficient production processes. This role focuses on manufacturing process engineering, continuous improvement, and process control for power distribution systems in a high‑technology manufacturing environment. Roles and Responsibilities In your role as Manufacturing Engineer, you are responsible for ensuring efficient production processes and high-quality outcomes. You work closely with cross-functional teams, including production, quality, and engineering. Own and sustain solid-state power-pulse module (SSPPM) manufacturing processes to ensure stable quality, yield, and throughput. Monitor and improve process performance using data analysis (yield trends, defect paretos, process capability/Cpk). Apply statistical and structured problem‑solving methods (SPC, DOE, FMEA) to identify root causes, reduce variation, and ensure process capability. Lead troubleshooting of complex electro‑mechanical system build and test issues; drive containment, corrective actions, and prevention of recurrence. Partner cross‑functionally with Quality, Production, and Design Engineering to resolve non‑conformances and improve product robustness. Maintain and continuously improve manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, standard work, and control plans. Execute change management activities (COs, TDNs) to ensure controlled and compliant process updates. Identify and implement improvements to yield, cycle time, cost, and equipment performance using Lean manufacturing principles. Support equipment optimization, tooling improvements, and preventive maintenance strategies. Provide hands‑on support in production and cleanroom environments to validate process changes and drive execution. Train and support production personnel on system‑level assembly, integration, and test processes. Other duties as assigned; job description subject to change at any time Education and Experience Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Manufacturing or related Engineering field. 5+ years of experience in manufacturing or process engineering, preferably in power distribution, electronics or precision electro-mechanical assemblies. Experience with statistical methods including SPC, DOE, FMEA, and process capability analysis. Hands‑on experience troubleshooting complex manufacturing processes in a production environment. Familiarity with documentation control, BOM structures, and change management processes. Proficiency with data analysis tools (e.g., JMP, Minitab, Excel, or similar). Preferred Qualifications Experience working with high‑voltage power systems, lithography, or complex hardware systems. Lean Six Sigma certification or formal continuous improvement training. Experience with automated test systems and metrology equipment. Skills You bring a passion for problem-solving and teamwork to the Manufacturing Engineer position. You are detail-oriented, adaptable, and eager to learn. In addition, you possess: Strong analytical and data‑driven problem‑solving capability. Ability to diagnose complex process issues and implement sustainable solutions. Hands‑on, detail‑oriented approach with strong ownership of results. Effective communication and collaboration across engineering and production teams. Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment. Continuous improvement mindset with focus on yield, cost, and process stability. Proficient use of Microsoft Office tools. Other Information This position requires regular onsite presence and hands‑on work in a cleanroom and manufacturing environment. May require occasional travel based on business needs (
