Job Description

Teledyne ETM seeks an experienced Manufacturing Engineer

Join a team at Teledyne ETM in Newark, CA building high-power microwave and high-energy X-Ray products for demanding industrial, scientific, defense, and medical applications.  We are seeking a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer who thrives at the intersection of engineering and production — diagnosing complex issues, improving processes, and enabling successful product launches.

This role reports into Engineering but is closely aligned with Manufacturing, serving as a key technical leader on the production floor and a critical contributor to New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts from prototype through production ramp.

What You’ll Do

• Own production support: Troubleshoot and resolve issues across RF, high-voltage, and power electronic systems at component, board, and system levels
• Drive root cause & corrective action: Lead structured investigations and implement effective CAPA
• Lead NPI execution:
  • Support prototype and pilot builds, ensuring smooth transition from engineering to production
  • Identify manufacturing risks early and drive mitigation plans
  • Develop initial assembly flows, test strategies, and process documentation
  • Collaborate with engineering on DFM and design readiness for production
• Build and improve manufacturing processes: Develop, document, and optimize processes under formal change control (ECOs)
• Enable robust testing: Use RF and electronic instrumentation (oscilloscopes, spectrum/network analyzers, power meters, HV systems) to ensure repeatable production testing
• Elevate the team: Train and coach assemblers and technicians to improve diagnostics, reporting, and execution quality
• Advance automation: Develop and implement fixtures, tooling, and automated test systems to increase efficiency and consistency
• Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with Engineering, Quality, and Operations to drive product maturity, yield improvement, and production readiness
• Use data to drive decisions: Monitor yield, analyze trends, and implement improvements to quality and throughput

What You Bring

Required:

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
• 5+ years in manufacturing/test engineering or production support for high-power electronics and/or RF systems
• Strong hands-on troubleshooting skills (bench to system level)
• Experience with RF and electronic test equipment
• Ability to interpret schematics, drawings, and technical documentation
• Effective communication with the ability to bridge engineering and production teams
• Applicants must be a U.S. citizen

Preferred:

• Experience with new product transfer to manufacturing
• RF amplifiers, pulsed power, or high-voltage systems experience
• Familiarity with automated test systems (ATE, LabVIEW, etc.)
• Familiarity with encapsulated / potted electronics
• Experience in regulated environments (ISO 9001, AS9100)
• Lean / Six Sigma or formal root cause methodology experience

Work Environment & Requirements

• Hands-on role with significant time on the production floor
• Fast-paced, low-to-mid volume / high-complexity environment
• Occasional travel (<10%)

Why Join Us?

• Work on technically complex, high-impact RF and power systems
• Play a key role in bringing new products into production
• Strong ownership at the engineering–manufacturing interface
• Opportunity to drive automation, innovation, and process excellence

Salary Range:

$120,300.00-$160,400.000
