Manufacturing Engineer – Wire Harnessing

About the role

Saronic Technologies seeks a Manufacturing Engineer specialized in wire harnessing to develop, optimize, and sustain production processes for autonomous marine vehicle harnesses. The role ensures efficient, high‑quality manufacturing while complying with IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 standards.

Key responsibilities

• Provide day‑to‑day technical support for wire harness operations (cutting, stripping, crimping, soldering, overmolding, braiding, labeling, continuity testing).
• Develop and maintain work instructions, SOPs, and process documentation.
• Optimize cycle times, workstation layouts, and material flow using Lean principles.
• Lead root‑cause analysis and corrective actions for production issues.
• Collaborate with design engineering on DFM/DFA reviews and tooling requirements.
• Design assembly fixtures, test boards, and poka‑yoke devices.
• Support pilot builds, production ramp‑up, and supplier development.
• Ensure equipment calibration, preventive maintenance, and compliance with quality standards.
• Maintain manufacturing data in ERP/MES systems and generate routings, labor standards, and cost models.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 1+ years experience in wire harness or cable assembly manufacturing.
• Strong knowledge of IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 standards.
• Experience with crimp validation (pull testing, crimp height measurement, microsectioning).
• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing and continuous‑improvement methodologies.
