Essential Responsibilities Manufacturing Process Development Lead NPI manufacturing readiness from concept through production; develop, qualify, and scale assembly, calibration, test, inspection, and packaging processes for changing volumes and product mixes. Create work instructions, process flows, FMEAs, validation reports, and control plans. Automation & Robotics Identify, justify, and deploy automation for assembly, testing, calibration, inspection, material handling, and data collection using industrial robots, cobots, machine vision, and automated fixtures.

Precision Machining & Fabrication Optimize CNC horizontal and vertical machining, palletized automation, mill-turn, turning, and finishing processes for aluminum, stainless steel, plastics, composites, and Invar. Partner with machinists, programmers, and product teams on DFM/DFA, tooling, workholding, cycle times, and machine utilization. Electronics Manufacturing Support SMT stencil design, pick-and-place tooling, reflow, AOI, depanelization fixtures, and BGA rework; develop PCB assembly, programming, functional test, burn-in, and validation methods and fixtures.

Troubleshoot PCBAs, embedded electronics, communications, power electronics, and sensor systems. Optical Systems Manufacturing Develop optical assembly, alignment, lens characterization, camera calibration, and image-quality verification processes; partner with optical and software teams to analyze performance, reduce variation, and improve yield. Product Testing & Validation Develop automated test equipment, fixtures, and data acquisition; support environmental, reliability, ESD, IP66/IP67, HALT/HASS, and production sampling programs.

Drive root-cause investigations and corrective actions using structured problem-solving methodologies. Additive Manufacturing & Rapid Prototyping Use SLS, SLA, and FDM to build tooling, fixtures, assembly aids, test equipment, and automation components; evaluate technologies that improve development speed, quality, and cost. Continuous Improvement Lead Lean/Six Sigma improvements using statistical analysis, process control, capacity planning, line balancing, workstation optimization, cost reduction, and manufacturing KPIs.
