Mach Industries is seeking a Senior Reliability Supplier Industrialization Engineer focused on avionics, printed circuit board assemblies, and harnessing to qualify, develop, and scale suppliers that produce reliable electrical hardware to engineering, manufacturing, and system requirements. You will translate avionics design intent into capable assembly processes, supplier controls, inspection methods, and production-readiness evidence. This role spans Electrical Engineering, Avionics, Supply Chain, Quality, Manufacturing, Test, and suppliers from early design reviews through prototype, qualification, production, and field support. The work is hands-on and requires regular engagement with electronics assembly, harness fabrication, inspection data, functional test, and supplier process development.

Lead supplier industrialization for avionics assemblies, PCBAs, cable harnesses, and related electrical hardware from design release through production readiness. Support avionics design reviews by identifying assembly, testability, component, soldering, routing, and harness-integration risks. Develop commodity FMEAs, supplier qualification requirements, control plans, inspection methods, and acceptance criteria for critical electrical hardware. Assess supplier capability across SMT, through-hole assembly, soldering, conformal coating, cable fabrication, crimping, over-molding, and electrical test. Establish first article requirements, process-validation plans, workmanship standards, inspection coverage, and objective evidence for supplier production readiness. Monitor supplier performance using quality, delivery, yield, nonconformance, process-capability, and test-failure data. Lead root-cause and corrective-action investigations for recurring supplier nonconformances, solder defects, workmanship issues, electrical failures, and harness escapes. Support obsolescence, redesign, alternate-source, and supplier-transition activities while preserving configuration integrity and production continuity. Feed supplier lessons learned into avionics design standards, manufacturing methods, inspection strategies, sourcing decisions, and reliability-growth activities. Up to 100% travel Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, manufacturing engineering, electronics engineering, or equivalent professional experience. Five or more years of experience in supplier industrialization, electronics manufacturing, supplier quality, or avionics production. Experience with PCB assembly, cable and harness fabrication, electrical inspection, functional test, or related electronics manufacturing processes. Experience with FMEA, control plans, first article inspection, process validation, and structured root-cause and corrective-action methods. Ability to evaluate supplier processes, identify technical risks, and define practical controls for high-reliability electrical hardware. Ability to communicate clearly with suppliers and cross-functional teams while managing multiple industrialization activities.

Experience with aerospace, defense, automotive, medical, or other high-reliability electronics manufacturing. Experience with IPC-A-610, J-STD-001,
