Position Summary

603 Manufacturing is growing, and we are looking for a hands-on, detail-driven NPI / Manufacturing Engineer who thrives on turning complex, high-reliability builds into clean, repeatable, audit-ready processes. This role is especially critical as we support customers in the space and aerospace sectors, where documentation, traceability, and process control are non-negotiable. If you get fired up about transforming first builds into flight-ready production systems, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

Lead New Product Introduction (NPI)

• Own the manufacturing ramp-up for new cable and electro-mechanical assemblies
• Translate engineering drawings, specifications, and customer requirements into production-ready processes
• Support and fully document first piece builds from prototype through production release
• Ensure builds meet space and aerospace level workmanship and documentation standards

Develop Flight-Ready Work Instructions

• Create clear, visual, step-by-step work instructions for complex cable assemblies
• Standardize documentation across programs to meet customer and regulatory expectations
• Build controlled, revision-managed documentation packages
• Incorporate inspection criteria, torque values, crimp specifications, test procedures, and traceability requirements

Space and Aerospace Compliance

• Interpret and implement customer flow-down requirements
• Ensure compliance with applicable standards such as:
• IPC/WHMA-A-620, Space Addendum preferred
• NASA workmanship standards where applicable
• AS9100 principles and documentation rigor
• Establish full material traceability and lot control processes
• Support first article inspections and customer audits
• Build processes that are repeatable, traceable, and audit-ready

First Piece and Process Development

• Capture photos, tooling setups, fixturing, inspection points, and lessons learned during first builds
• Identify risk areas early including handling, routing, strain relief, testing, and labeling
• Define quality gates and inspection checkpoints
• Convert tribal knowledge into controlled documentation

Standardization and Continuous Improvement

• Develop scalable templates for cable assembly documentation
• Drive consistency across programs and operators
• Improve throughput while maintaining zero-defect expectations
• Reduce variability in high reliability builds

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 5 or more years in manufacturing engineering, NPI, or process engineering
• Direct experience supporting space, aerospace, or other high-reliability customers
• Strong understanding of:
• IPC/WHMA-A-620, Space Addendum strongly preferred
• First Article Inspection, AS9102 experience a plus
• Configuration control and revision management
• Lot traceability and material control systems
• Experience building processes that withstand customer audits
• Comfortable on the production floor. This is not a desk-only role.
• Process-driven, detail-focused, and quality-first mindset

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience supporting NASA, commercial space, or defense programs
• Experience working in an AS9100 environment
• Familiarity with controlled documentation systems such as PLM, ERP, or QMS
• Lean or Six Sigma background
• Experience building documentation systems from scratch

What Success Looks Like

• New space programs transition from first article to stable production smoothly
• Documentation passes audits without scrambling
• Full traceability exists from raw material to finished assembly
• Operators have clear, easy-to-follow instructions
• Builds are consistent, repeatable, and flight-ready

Why 603 Manufacturing?

We support customers who cannot afford failure. When it goes to space, it must work.

At 603, we are building the systems, documentation discipline, and manufacturing rigor to support high-reliability programs. We need engineers who understand what that truly requires.

You will not just document processes here. You will build the foundation for flight-ready manufacturing.
