Job Description

Production Engineer – TWT Post‑Exhaust Assembly

Join our advanced manufacturing team supporting high‑reliability electronic products, where your expertise will directly impact yield, quality, and production excellence. In this role, you will own and continuously improve post‑exhaust assembly processes for Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs)—ensuring every build is safe, consistent, and optimized for first‑time pass yield. Working closely with cross‑functional engineering and operations teams, you’ll be a key driver of scalable, precision manufacturing from the shop floor to documentation control.

What you’ll do

• Define, validate, and own post‑exhaust assembly processes, including preparation, testing, and final packaging stages

• Develop and maintain clear, unambiguous assembly procedures to ensure consistent execution

• Create and manage travelers and routings that capture critical data for traceability and yield improvement

• Specify, release, and validate production tooling to ensure precision, repeatability, and product integrity

• Drive first‑time pass yield by embedding control points and critical parameter tracking into processes

• Partner with engineering and quality teams to incorporate lessons learned into procedures and documentation

• Support implementation of new processes and tooling on the shop floor, including operator training

• Ensure alignment between released documentation and actual production practices

• Support audits and ensure compliance with configuration control and quality system requirements

• Participate in engineering change orders and process improvement initiatives

What you need

• Strong ability to define and document manufacturing processes and assembly methods – required

• Experience creating procedures, travelers, and tooling in a production environment – required

• Proven understanding of shop‑floor operations and operator workflows – required

• Ability to analyze process performance and drive yield improvements – preferred

• Experience in high‑reliability manufacturing environments – required

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering (or related) – required

• Experience with vacuum electronics, RF assemblies, or high‑voltage systems – preferred

• Familiarity with contamination‑sensitive processes and traceability systems – preferred

What we offer

• Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge, high‑reliability technologies

• Collaborative, cross‑functional engineering environment

• Strong visibility and impact on manufacturing performance and continuous improvement

• Career growth in advanced manufacturing and engineering leadership
