We enable customers to design what they want, when they want it and deliver harness builds at record-breaking speed.\nWe’re building a dedicated Production Engineering function at Senra Systems - a team that owns the floor, not the desk. As a Production Engineer, you will be embedded in manufacturing as the technical resource our assembly technicians rely on during active production. While Manufacturing Engineers own the front-end documentation - BOMs, Engineering Masters, work instructions, and formboards - you own execution. \nYou’ll troubleshoot builds in real time, support first articles, verify cable and component kits, disposition non-conformances, and serve as the day-to-day engineering presence that keeps production moving. This role reports to the Lead Production Engineer and works closely with the Manufacturing Engineering, Production and Quality teams. \nWhat you'll own:\nFloor Troubleshooting & Real-Time Support \nServe as the on-floor technical resource during active production - resolving assembly issues, documentation discrepancies, and build questions without halting throughput \nIdentify and escalate systemic issues to the Lead PE or ME team with clear, structured documentation \nParticipate in root cause analysis and corrective action implementation for recurring production issues \nNCR Disposition \nReview and disposition non-conformances generated on the floor with documented rationale (use-as-is, rework, or scrap) \nMaintain NCR aging within SLA; escalate items that require engineering disposition beyond your scope \nCoordinate with Quality on in-process inspection holds and final disposition sign-off \nFirst Article & First Build Support \nProvide hands-on engineering support during first articles and new part number introductions \nWalk the floor during first builds, verify documentation accuracy, and identify gaps before they become production issues \nCapture redlines and documentation feedback and submit to the ME team in a structured, timely manner \nKit Verification & Material Flow \nAudit incoming cable and component kits against the build package before they reach the floor \nFlag shortages, substitutions, or discrepancies and coordinate resolution with kitting, supply chain and engineering \nTechnician Support & Mentorship \nAnswer technical questions from assembly technicians on wire prep, crimping, connector insertion, splicing, and harness routing \nCoach to IPC/WHMA-A-620 and NASA 8739.4 workmanship standards; recognize and address non-conforming work at the source \nContribute to a culture of quality ownership on the floor - every technician should know what good looks like \nWhat you'll bring to the team:\nRequired: \n1-3 years of hands-on experience in wire harness or cable assembly manufacturing \nWorking knowledge of wire harness assembly processes: wire prep, crimping, soldering, connector insertion, and harness routing \nFamiliarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standards \nAbility to read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, assembly drawings, and work instructions \nStrong attention to detail and a quality-first mindset \nMust be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident) \nPreferred: \nPrior experience as a manufacturing, build or sustaining engineer \nExtensive technical authoring experience i.e. developing engineering masters, dispositioning non conformances, etc. \nHigh degree of ownership, self-starting and proactive with a bias toward action and solutions \nExperience in an aerospace or defense manufacturing environment \nExposure to NASA 8739.4 workmanship requirements \nFamiliarity with MIL-spec connectors and contacts (D-sub, LEMO, Glenair, Amphenol, etc.) \nIPC/WHMA-A-620 CIS or CIT certification \nExperience with NCR or nonconformance management workflows \nSuccess in This Role Looks Like: \nWithin 3-6 months, you will have: \nBecome a trusted technical resource on the floor - technicians know to come to you first \nAchieved consistent NCR disposition turnaround within SLA with clear, documented rationale \nSupported at least one full first article cycle from kit verification through build completion and redline capture \nDemonstrated a consistent quality-first approach that has visibly reduced rework or build stops on your assigned product families \nCompensation: \nCompensation will be based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors. \nSalary Range: $75,000-$85,000 \nThis is an onsite role at our factory in Cypress, CA. \nBenefits: \nUnmatched opportunities to drive impact on a friendly and mission-driven team \nOwn a piece of the pie with equity participation! \nComprehensive medical, dental, vision, life and long-term disability coverage \nFlexible Spending Account (FSA) and Dependent Spending Account (DSA) for health-related expenses \n20 vacation days per year and 12 company holidays for rest and relaxation\na 401(k) plan to set yourself up for retirement\nChoose a record you love, and we’ll add it to our growing vinyl collection! \n$50/month DoorDash credit - lunch is on us! \nUp to $100/month reimbursement for gym memberships \nFully stocked kitchen with snacks and beverages \nRegular team-building events, lunches, and the occasional breakfast burrito! \nBright, open office with communal spaces for collaboration and free parking \nConveniently located near the metro, major freeways and local dining spots \nWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
