Lead root cause analyses and implement corrective actions.
Manage engineering change orders (ECOs) and product improvements.
Identify opportunities for cost reduction, improved reliability, manufacturability, and product performance.
Support production yield improvement initiatives.
Work directly with OEM customers and field application teams when advanced technical support is required.

Manufacturing Test Fixture & Tooling Design (30%)

Design and develop manufacturing fixtures, production tooling, assembly aids, burn-in systems, and test equipment.
Create fixtures used for characterization, calibration, environmental testing, reliability testing, and manufacturing verification.
Design mechanical systems for radiation-safe test enclosures and automated test stations.
Collaborate with manufacturing engineering to improve throughput, repeatability, and process capability.
Support installation, validation, and continuous improvement of manufacturing equipment.
Generate fixture documentation, work instructions, and validation reports.

Technical Leadership Growth & Collaboration (10%)

Mentor junior engineers and technicians.
Provide technical guidance across cross-functional teams.
Participate in project planning, scheduling, and resource estimation.
Collaborate with engineering teams in Bedford and Finland and India.
