We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer with an Electrical Focus to serve as the bridge between our complex electrical designs and a high-quality production floor. You will own the processes, standards, tooling, and troubleshooting that ensure every ACS system is wired correctly, tested thoroughly, and built to perform in the field.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end cable and harness assembly process, defining how we cut, strip, crimp, and label wiring to ensure every system leaves the floor correctly built and documented.
  • Serve as the floor expert for electrical quality, ensuring the team meets IPC-A-620 standards for cable and harness assembly and IPC-A-610 standards for PCBA handling and installation.
  • Lead troubleshooting on intermittent electrical faults and wiring anomalies, digging into harnesses and connectors to identify and resolve root causes.
  • Design and set up go/no-go test stations to verify that every harness and electrical sub-assembly is functional before reaching the main production line.
  • Manage electrical assembly equipment, including crimp presses, wire processors, and continuity testers, ensuring tools are calibrated and technicians are set up to succeed.
  • Improve electronics integration by ensuring PCBAs are mounted securely, connectors are accessible, and wiring is routed and protected against wear and environmental stress.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related technical field.
  • We welcome all experience levels. Entry-level candidates (0–4 years) should have hands-on experience with electronics, robotics, or hardware through internships, coursework, or personal projects. Mid-to-senior candidates (5+ years) should bring experience setting up harness production lines, creating formal test procedures, or managing high-reliability electrical assemblies.
  • Solid understanding of wire gauges, connector types, and crimping techniques; familiarity with IPC-A-620 is a strong plus.
  • Familiarity with PCBA handling and quality verification based on IPC-A-610 standards.
  • Hands-on troubleshooting skills using multimeters and continuity testers to diagnose shorts, opens, and high-resistance connections.
  • Strong communication skills; comfortable working closely with technicians to improve assembly methods and providing clear feedback to the design team when changes are needed.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • ACS Equity Package
  • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Paid Time Off
