PMI is an established and fast growing ISO 9001/AS 9100/ISO 13485 certified contract manufacturer of high precision machined parts and electro-mechanical assemblies in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania (18936). We provide manufacturing services from concept, through prototype and production, to just-in-time delivery. PMI has been delivering products to an array of industries including semi-conductor equipment, medical devices and surgical instruments, electronics, aerospace and defense, etc. for over 40 years.
We are seeking a hands-on, technically strong Electromechanical Assembly Operations Leader / Engineer to lead the end-to-end assembly operations of complex electromechanical products. This role combines technical engineering expertise with operational leadership to drive safety, quality, throughput, and continuous improvement in a low mix small volume production environment. The ideal candidate will excel at both solving complex assembly challenges and developing high-performing teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead daily operations of the electromechanical assembly area, including assembly line, sub-assembly processes and test stations to meet production schedules, quality targets, and cost goals.
- Own process development, optimization, and documentation for electromechanical assemblies.
- Design and implement assembly fixtures, jigs, and tooling; collaborate with design engineering on DFM/DFA improvements for new and existing products.
- Troubleshoot electromechanical issues using root-cause analysis (8D, 5-Why, Fishbone) and implement permanent corrective actions.
- Drive Lean Manufacturing initiatives (5S, Kaizen, Value Stream Mapping, SMED) to reduce cycle time, improve first-pass yield, and eliminate waste.
- Manage and develop a team of assemblers, technicians, and leads; provide technical training, performance coaching, and succession planning.
- Monitor and report key performance metrics (OEE, yield, scrap, on-time delivery, labor efficiency); develop and execute recovery plans when targets are missed.
- Ensure full compliance with safety standards (OSHA, internal EHS), quality systems (ISO 9001, IATF 16949, or AS9100), and industry-specific requirements (IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620).
- Support New Product Introduction (NPI) by leading pilot builds, process validation to operations.
- Partner with supply chain, quality, and maintenance teams to resolve material, equipment, and supplier-related issues.
Qualifications & Experience
Required:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
- 5 years of progressive experience in electromechanical assembly operations within a manufacturing environment.
- 2 years of direct leadership or team-lead experience (supervising technicians/assemblers).
- Strong technical expertise in electromechanical systems, schematic reading, wiring, soldering, mechanical assembly, and functional testing.
- Proven track record implementing Lean/Six Sigma tools and achieving measurable improvements in quality and productivity.
- Proficiency with CAD (SolidWorks or AutoCAD), ERP/MRP systems, and Microsoft Office Suite.
Pay: From $50,000.00 per year
