Provide technical guidance to the production team as well as act as a liaison between engineering, supply chain and other departments to ensure production success.
Generate controlled MBOMs, work and test instructions that can be easily followed by technician team in MES or other test execution systems.
Define design requirements and implement semi-automated testing equipment/protocols for subsystem characterization and reliability/environmental testing.
Produce and maintain testing logs/data, develop library of issues with troubleshooting logic/diagrams for fast issue resolution.
Perform hands-on and data-driven root cause analysis of electromechanical subsystems utilizing structured problem solving methodologies.
Proactively identify imbalances and bottlenecks caused by line layout, parts shortages, staffing shortages, and other production constraints by understanding cycle time and Quality metrics.
Collaborate with the Quality team to set quality standards, implement inspection processes and analyze product specifications to ensure manufacturing capabilities align with quality requirements.
Foster a collaborative environment that encourages knowledge sharing and team engagement.
Adhere to all health and safety regulations, promoting a culture of safety within the manufacturing environment.

Strong technical ability to read technical documentation such as electrical schematic drawings, 3D CAD files
Have experience with programming/testing a wide range of sensors, actuators, and electrical components
Demonstrated ability to own a product in manufacturing from start to finish; coordinating among multiple internal and external parties to achieve on-time deliveries under stringent quality standards
Prior knowledge and interaction with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for production operations
Prior knowledge of Oracle or a similar Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system
Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government Security Clearance
Preferred Qualifications
Production line design and set up - Value Stream mapping, material flow lines, one piece flow, workstation design
Experience with CAD and production simulation software (NX/Solidworks)
Experience with Teamcenter PLM
Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles / implementation
