About Our Transition to Ondas Sentinel

DZYNE Technologies was recently acquired by Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) and, together with World View, has joined forces to create Ondas Sentinel. Ondas Sentinel is a next‑generation U.S. defense platform integrating long‑endurance ISR, autonomous systems, counter‑UAS technologies, and mission intelligence.

While DZYNE is now part of Ondas Sentinel, we are still legally operating as DZYNE as we complete the formal integration of our systems and processes. As a result, you may see roles cross‑posted across DZYNE and World View, during this transition. All positions represent opportunities within the same combined organization.

What does this mean for candidates?

You’re joining a team that is accelerating the future of autonomous defense.
You’ll be part of a company backed by significant investment, strong growth, and mission‑proven technology.
You’ll work alongside world‑class engineers and innovators who have already delivered thousands of operational flight hours, high‑impact ISR capabilities, leading counter‑UAS systems, and breakthrough autonomous effects.
You’ll help shape a unified platform that enables operators to see more, decide faster, and act with confidence across the modern battlespace.

Together, Ondas Sentinel is building something bigger than any one company, a scalable, integrated defense organization designed to meet emerging mission needs with speed, precision, and purpose.

If you’re energized by ambitious missions, rapid innovation, and a chance to help define the future of autonomous defense, we’d love to have you on the team.

Position Title: Manufacturing Engineer – UAS, Electrical Focus

Work Arrangement: On-site

Position Summary

The Manufacturing Engineer supports day‑to‑day production of electro‑mechanical assemblies, avionics assemblies, and wire harnesses within our airborne systems manufacturing environment. This role works closely with assembly technicians, avionics technicians, and design engineering to document build processes, resolve production-floor issues, and drive continuous improvements under an AS9100 compliant QMS. The Manufacturing Engineer ensures that work instructions, tooling, and test workflows are clear, robust, and production ready as products transition from engineering prototypes into stable, repeatable builds. This role is well‑suited for an engineer with a strong electrical background who enjoys hands‑on manufacturing, problem‑solving, and working directly on the production floor.

Required Duties and Responsibilities:

Electrical Manufacturing Support & Documentation

Create, maintain, and redline work instructions, assembly routers, and build documentation to ensure consistent, high-quality production.
Train assembly and avionics technicians on new or updated build and test instructions.
Review and redline preproduction drawings in collaboration with Design Engineering.
Support technicians and Quality in generating redlines, nonconformance reports (NCRs), and build discrepancies.

Tooling, Fixtures & Assembly Test Support

Design mechanical and electrical fixtures, jigs, and tooling to aid repeatable assembly and testing.
Support ATP (Acceptance Test Procedure) execution by partnering with Test Technicians and Design Engineering and ensuring any supplemental test instructions or tools are developed.
Improve build ergonomics and assembly efficiency through fixture updates and layout optimization.
Production BOMs, Routers, and Item Cards creation and modification.

Production Build Support

Act as the frontline manufacturing liaison between technicians and design engineering to resolve build issues rapidly and accurately.
Support transition of new builds from engineering to production by validating manufacturability, documenting processes, and providing feedback on prototype builds.
Participate in root-cause analysis for build failures and first-article issues.

Continuous Improvement

Identify opportunities to improve yield, cycle time, build clarity, and technician workflow.
Support small- to medium-scale Continuous Improvement initiatives as assigned by the Manufacturing Engineering Manager.
Apply basic industrial engineering concepts (time studies, simple layout improvements, process standardization).
Support drawing changes using ECN/ECR process.
Interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, assembly diagrams, and industry specifications.
Support electro-mechanical assemblies involving structures, PCBs, harnesses, connectors, avionics hardware, and basic mechanical components.
Apply general knowledge of materials, fasteners, structural assembly, and electrical best practices.

Required Skills/Qualifications:

2-3 years of experience in manufacturing or production engineering (aerospace, automotive, unmanned systems, electro-mechanical assemblies, or similar).
Must be able to support 6AM start time to align with shop schedule.
Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, wire harness documentation, and assembly diagrams.
Experience supporting technicians on the floor, including creating redlines and investigating build issues.
Experience supporting first-article builds, troubleshooting failures, and providing actionable manufacturing feedback.
Familiarity with both mechanical and electrical manufacturing practices (harnessing, PCBAs, connectors, LRU assembly, mechanical subassemblies, etc.)
Working knowledge of engineering analysis concepts (mechanical/electrical fundamentals) and industry standards
Working knowledge of best practices for creating electrical and mechanical drawings
Technical Competency & Cross-Discipline Familiarity

Preferred Skills/Qualifications:

Experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks (mechanical) and basic familiarity with ECAD tools such as Altium (electrical).
Exposure designing simple fixtures or assembly aids.
Experience with Visio Professional.
Experience with acceptance testing, ATP development, or production test workflows.
Experience in regulated, low-volume high mix aerospace or defense manufacturing

Education:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field or equivalent work experience.
