• Develop and improve manufacturing processes for the assembly of panelboards, switchgear, bus systems, wiring harnesses, and control panels.
• Create and maintain work instructions, assembly procedures, process flows, and manufacturing documentation.
• Support design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and collaborate with Engineering on new product introductions (NPI).
• Analyze production workflows to identify bottlenecks and implement process improvements.
• Develop and maintain BOM accuracy, routings, labor standards, and production fixtures.
• Implement lean manufacturing practices, including 5S, Kaizen events, standardized work, and waste reduction.
• Troubleshoot manufacturing issues, including electrical assembly, wiring, bus bar fabrication, and enclosure modifications.
• Evaluate and specify tools, equipment, jigs, and fixtures required for efficient assembly.
• Support quality assurance activities such as root-cause analysis (RCA), corrective actions (CAPA), and continuous improvement.
• Train production personnel on updated processes, tools, and best practices.
• Collaborate with suppliers to improve material quality and manufacturability.
• Ensure compliance with UL, NEC, OSHA, and company safety standards.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, preferably in electrical equipment, switchgear, panelboards, or industrial equipment assembly.
• Strong understanding of electrical components: breakers, contactors, relays, transformers, bus bars, metering devices, and control wiring.
• Experience reading and interpreting electrical schematics, one-lines, wiring diagrams, and mechanical drawings.
• Proficiency with CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar).
• Hands-on experience with Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred

• Experience with UL508A, UL67, UL891, and NEC standards.
• Knowledge of ERP/MRP systems for BOMs and routings.
• Experience in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment.
• Knowledge of CNC fabrication, punch/laser processes, or enclosure manufacturing
