Production Engineer - Electrical

About This Role

Support and improve manufacturing operations by developing, validating, and supporting automated equipment and production lines to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable performance. Lead process improvements and equipment qualification while troubleshooting issues and analyzing data.

Responsibilities

• Lead production process improvements by identifying and implementing automation-based solutions to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety
• Lead and support qualification of new equipment, tools, and production lines, including Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and Production Verification Testing (PVT)
• Interface directly with production lines to identify common failure modes, design and execute experiments or tests, and perform root cause analysis (RCA)
• Develop, maintain, and analyze issue logs, qualification reports, and performance metrics to track equipment health, yield impact, and process stability
• Actively support production by running, troubleshooting, and recovering equipment and automation stations during development, qualification, and early production ramp
• Monitor and analyze data from automation systems to identify opportunities for performance optimization, yield improvement, and downtime reduction
• Develop required software and hardware solutions to validate unit-under-test requirements and improve throughput and yield

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in an Engineering discipline (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field)
• Fundamental understanding of manufacturing or automation systems
• Working knowledge of LabVIEW and/or at least one programming or scripting language (e.g., Python, C/C++, Java, or VBA)
• Hands-on exposure to equipment, test systems, or production environments through academic projects, internships, or entry-level engineering roles
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to support troubleshooting and root cause analysis under guidance
• Strong teamwork, communication, and organizational skills

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in an Engineering discipline (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field)
• Fundamental understanding of manufacturing or automation systems, gained through coursework, internships, co-ops, or professional experience. Hands-on exposure to equipment, test systems, or production environments through academic projects, internships, or entry-level engineering roles.

Nice to Have

• Master’s degree in Engineering
• Experience in a manufacturing, automation, equipment engineering, or production engineering environment
• Exposure to equipment or process qualification activities (e.g., FAT, SAT, PVT, NPI)
• Experience with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), basic mechanical design, electrical systems, or circuit-level troubleshooting
• Familiarity with data analysis, automation tools, or machine-learning-based techniques applied to manufacturing or test systems
