## About the role

We are seeking a Lead Manufacturing Engineer to own the manufacturing strategy for our termination assembly, a critical high-power component in our system. You will identify and develop a contract manufacturing (CM) partner, optimize the design for manufacturability, and build the quality and test infrastructure needed to scale from pilot builds to full production.

## What they're looking for

- Identify, evaluate, and onboard a contract manufacturer capable of producing the termination assembly at the required cost, quality, and volume
- Partner with the CM and our internal engineering team to optimize the termination assembly design for manufacturability, cost, and lead time (DFM/DFA)
- Define and implement a quality strategy for the assembly, including incoming material inspection/qualification and finished-assembly test and qualification plans, to remove risk before the product ships
- Establish in-process inspection at the CM: define inspection points and sampling plans, measurement/gauging methods, and first-article inspection (FAI) requirements, and audit the CM's adherence and inspection records
- Develop test protocols appropriate for a high-power termination assembly (e.g., dielectric/hi-pot testing, torque/connection integrity, thermal cycling, contact resistance) to validate performance and safety
- Lead pilot builds at the CM, driving root-cause resolution of build and process issues and feeding learnings back into design and work instructions
