• Support design-for-manufacturability (DFM) reviews for harness and box build assemblies.
• Create and maintain assembly work instructions, wiring diagrams, and engineering drawings.
• Support root-cause analysis and corrective action for electrical/technical production issues.

Project Support

• Support customer projects from quotation through prototype, NPI, and production launch, under the direction of the Engineering Lead.
• Help develop and maintain project schedules, task lists, and status trackers.
• Track deliverables, open action items, and milestone dates; flag risks and delays proactively.
• Coordinate with engineering, production, quality, and procurement to keep projects moving.
• Prepare status updates and materials for internal and customer project reviews.
• Support processing of engineering change requests (ECO/ECN), including documentation and implementation tracking.

Manufacturing & Quality Support

• Support process development and improvement for harness manufacturing and box build assembly.
• Assist with first-article inspections, testing, and validation of new builds.
• Support PFMEA, risk assessments, and process validation activities.
• Help identify and implement continuous improvement, Lean, and quality initiatives on the production floor.
• Support IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standards during builds and inspections.

Customer & Supplier Coordination
