Direct manufacturing engineering experience with equipment, tooling, test systems, data analysis, production processes, and interpretation of engineering drawings and technical documentation.
Experience developing products or processes involving lasers, optics, opto-mechanical systems, electronics, precision mechanical systems, power electronics, or hybrid microelectronic assembly and transitioning prototypes or pilot processes into stable volume production.
Demonstrated technical problem-solving and process-control experience using tools such as PFMEA, Control Plans, SPC, measurement system analysis, capability analysis, and root-cause/corrective-action methods.
Situational leadership and communication skills, including the ability to build consensus and explain technical risks, priorities, and decisions across functions, sites, and audiences.
Working knowledge of manufacturing financial drivers, including labor, material, yield, scrap, cycle time, capacity, and equipment cost, and familiarity with ITAR, EAR, and controlled technical data requirements.
Ability to travel up to 10%, including occasional overnight travel to customers, suppliers, training, or company locations.

Preferred Qualifications

Graduate degree in engineering or applied science, or equivalent industrial experience.
Six Sigma Black Belt, Lean certification, or demonstrated success applying Lean and Six Sigma methods.
