Job Description

This position supports New Product Development Engineering teams by developing manufacturing processes, fixtures, and equipment used to build and test electronic products and assemblies. The role focuses on manufacturing fixtures, test systems, firmware/software loading, and production equipment that support electronics, communications, and device configuration used during prototype through production phases of a project. The equipment and processes may be used within Industrial Scientific or a partner.

The engineer will support production, service, and repair teams by designing and improving product build, test, and configuration processes. This role is intended for an early-career engineer who will build technical depth and take on increasing responsibility in manufacturing processes, test methods, and production support over time.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and support manufacturing processes for portable electronic instrumentation, including assembly, test, firmware provisioning, and device communications
• Design and implement manufacturing fixtures, test equipment, and production tools with electrical and communication interfaces
• Define and support production test methods, firmware and software loading, and device configuration processes
• Design modular assembly and test set ups that can be replicated for use within global ISC and partner manufacturing, and service centers
• Create operator work instructions, process specifications, and technical procedures
• Collaborate with design, software, and firmware, teams to improve manufacturability, testability, and production readiness
• Drive continuous improvement and implement engineering changes, deviations, and validation activities

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, or related field
  (Mechanical or manufacturing degrees considered with strong electronics, test, or controls experience)
• 1–2 years of experience in manufacturing engineering, test engineering, electronics production support, or a similar hands-on engineering role
• Experience with electromechanical products, electronic assemblies, or production test environments
• Fundamental understanding of electronic circuits, signals, embedded system integration, and common device communication methods
• Ability to read and understand electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
• Demonstrated ability to gather, analyze, and evaluate data and recommend corrective actions
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing, process validation, or structured continuous improvement methods
• Effective written and verbal communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and external partners
• Working knowledge of common engineering tools such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with production test systems, functional test stations, or custom electronic test setups
• Familiarity with firmware provisioning, embedded systems, and device configuration workflows
• Basic scripting, automation, or software tool experience used to support test execution, data capture, or equipment setup
• Exposure to common communication interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, USB, or similar device communication methods
• Working knowledge of printed circuit board operations and electronic assembly processes
• Understanding of IPC standards or similar electronics manufacturing practices
• Familiarity with PDM/PLM systems (e.g., Windchill) and ERP systems (e.g., Oracle)
• Exposure to PFMEA or structured root cause and corrective action methods
• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles and continuous improvement tools
