  2. Process Optimization: Collaborate with design and production teams to ensure harness designs are optimized for manufacturability and efficiency. Continuously improve production processes to meet cost, quality, and throughput targets.
  3. Tooling & Equipment: Identify and develop tooling and equipment for harness assembly. Work with vendors and internal resources to implement these solutions on the production floor.
  4. Automation & Innovation: Identify automation opportunities, evaluate return on investment, and develop automated solutions to improve production efficiency and reduce manual labor.
  5. Prototyping & Scale-Up: Lead prototype builds, ensuring that incremental milestones for production development are achieved. Transition harness designs from prototype to high-volume production.
  6. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as a liaison between the engineering development and production teams, ensuring smooth communication and alignment on project goals.
  7. Production Support: Provide ongoing support for production, troubleshooting issues as they arise, and driving continuous improvement efforts.

Export Control Requirement:

  2. 5+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably in a mid/high-volume, high-complexity setting.
  3. Experience with CAD tools (e.g., NX, SolidWorks) and familiarity with manufacturing principles such as PFMEA, 5S, Lean 6-Sigma, Process Capability Analysis and time studies.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  1. Experience with the project management of technical projects.
  2. Experience with aerospace or defense wire harness manufacturing standards (e.g., IPC-620, NASA STD 8739.4).
  3. Proven track record in implementing automation into production processes.
  4. Experience transitioning products from design to high-volume manufacturing.
  5. Familiarity with ERP, MRP, and MES systems.
