Production Reliability Engineer Verified today
The Role
This position is responsible for assuring the reliability and quality of ICEYE's subassembly production line. You will ensure assemblies meet design intent, space-grade quality requirements, and operational standards. Working closely with AIT engineering, production technicians, and integration teams, you will prevent quality escapes, ensure proper operator self-verifications, and drive proactive improvements through risk-based quality assurance methods.
Your Responsibilities
- Oversee subassembly production activities, ensuring compliance with quality requirements, approved processes, and product specifications.
- Manage and support quality-related change management activities, including impact assessments, implementation follow-up, and effectiveness verification.
- Review, approve, and disposition non-conformances, ensuring timely resolution through use-as-is, rework, repair, or corrective actions.
- Lead and support corrective and preventive action (CAPA) activities, including planning, implementation, and effectiveness monitoring.
- Perform and oversee final inspection activities, including visual inspections, configuration verification, and confirmation of inspection and test results.
- Prepare and review Acceptance Data Packages (ADPs) to ensure completeness, accuracy, and compliance with customer and regulatory requirements.
- Plan and conduct process audits, perform spot checks of newly implemented procedures, and follow up on corrective actions.
- Develop, maintain, and continuously improve inspection plans, checklists, quality requirements, and inspection procedures in collaboration with Engineering and Production teams.
- Monitor production and quality performance indicators, including non-conformance trends, yields, rework, and process effectiveness.
- Provide guidance and training to production personnel on quality requirements, inspection standards, ESD/FOD control, cleanliness, and product handling practices.
- Ensure production readiness by verifying that required inspections, verifications, approvals, and quality gates are completed before manufacturing proceeds.
- Collaborate with Engineering, Production, and Quality teams to identify risks, resolve quality issues, and improve manufacturing and inspection processes.
What You Need
Required:
- Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Mechatronics, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience in a high-reliability production environment.
- Minimum 5 years of experience in production quality assurance, manufacturing engineering, or process reliability within electronics, aerospace, or high-reliability manufacturing.
- Solid understanding of subassembly production processes (gluing, soldering, assembly, and testing), process control, ESD/FOD/cleanliness requirements, and space or electronics manufacturing standards.
- Familiarity with standards such as IPC-A-610 Class 3, IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3, J-STD-001, and quality systems (ISO 9001 / AS9100).
- Proficiency in data-driven problem solving (e.g., 8D, 5 Whys), and fluency in English (written and verbal).
- Strong risk-based thinking, analytical mindset, and a hands-on approach.
- Demonstrated ability to train, influence, and collaborate with operators and engineers.
- Ability to influence and drive results without direct authority.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
Nice to have:
- Experience with ECSS-Q-ST-20 or other space-quality assurance frameworks.
- Experience performing or leading PFMEA and control plan development.
- Hands-on experience implementing Lean or Six Sigma initiatives in electronics manufacturing.
- Experience supporting internal or external audits (ISO, or customer).
