The Manufacturing Engineer / Process Center Lead for Harnessing & Soldering is the technical owner and subject-matter expert for flight harness assemblies and associated soldering processes. This role is responsible for developing, implementing, and continuously improving manufacturing processes, owning workmanship standards for the harnessing cell, and leading a common work center that supports multiple programs. The Process Center Lead directs a team of harnessing technicians to meet safety, quality, cost, and schedule objectives in a high-reliability flight hardware environment.

This position will be located in Goleta, CA.

Responsibilities:

Manufacturing Process & Design Support

Partner with design engineering on harness concepts, specification requirements, design-for-manufacturability (DFM), and optimal use of equipment and manufacturing techniques.

Ensure manufacturing processes and procedures comply with applicable regulations, customer requirements, and industry standards (e.g., IPC, NASA workmanship standards).

Incorporate inspection and test requirements into production plans as needed, including test coverage, verification methods and acceptance criteria.

Work Center Layout, Ownership & Optimization

Own the layout and configuration of the harnessing work center. Design and optimize the arrangement of personnel, machines, tools, and processes within the harnessing work center to maximize efficiency, throughput, and product quality.

Inspect performance of employee processes, equipment, and tools to verify efficiency and conformance to standards.

Investigate root causes and implement corrective actions for process problems and deficiencies.

Champion 5S, standard work, and visual controls within the harnessing cell.

Continuous Improvement & Data Driven Process Control

Develop manufacturing processes that are applicable to statistical process control (SPC). Develop and implement SPC techniques and control plans for critical harnessing processes.

Analyze process, yield, and test data; recommend modifications to components, tooling, or test procedures to meet desired specifications and industry standards.

Support prototype and development activities, including devising, fabricating, and assembling new or modified electrical components or assemblies, and setting up and testing prototype units and subassemblies under operational conditions.

Identify and drive continuous improvement opportunities (cycle time, first-pass yield, scrap/rework reduction, ergonomics)

Technical Hands-On Duties & Team Leadership

Perform more than one of the following duties as required: mechanical technician, engineering technician, electronic technician, flight test technician, and/or general technician duties.

Lead a team of approximately 5–10 harnessing technicians; set priorities, assign work, and ensure adherence to safety, quality, and schedule commitments. Model best practices on the shop floor.

Provide technical direction and day‑to‑day guidance to lower‑level employees (non‑exempt and exempt) with minimal supervision.

Support staffing, skills development, and cross-training plans for the harnessing cell.
