Procurement Engineer

Job Description:

As a Production Engineer in the SCM function of the Avionics department, you will be responsible for overseeing and supporting the manufacturing, assembly, and integration of avionics systems. You will serve as the critical interface between design, manufacturing partners, and internal QA/SCM teams to ensure production timelines, quality standards, and configuration requirements are met for aerospace-grade electronic assemblies.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with design and hardware teams to interpret engineering drawings, assembly instructions, and BOMs for avionics components and systems.
• Coordinate with internal and external EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) partners for PCB fabrication, assembly, and box-builds.
• Plan, monitor, and support production schedules, line loading, and assembly workflows to meet delivery timelines.
• Supervise or support assembly, soldering, wiring, crimping, and mechanical integration of avionics subassemblies.
• Ensure all production activities follow aerospace manufacturing standards (IPC, J-STD, etc.) and quality control procedures.
• Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for production defects, non-conformities, or rework.
• Assist in developing work instructions, SOPs, and quality checklists for production processes.
• Coordinate in-process inspections, first-article inspections, and production readiness reviews.
• Maintain traceability of parts, serial numbers, and production records in compliance with AS9100/ISO standards.
• Work closely with QA, SCM, and testing teams to ensure smooth handoffs from production to validation.
• Identify and implement process improvements to reduce cycle time, rework, and cost.

Skills Required:

Technical & Functional Skills:

• Good understanding of electronics manufacturing, PCB assembly processes, and avionics integration.
• Hands-on experience with soldering, crimping, wiring, and inspection practices per aerospace standards (IPC-A-610, IPC-A-620, etc.).
• Familiarity with manufacturing documentation, assembly drawings, and revision control.
• Knowledge of electrical testing, continuity checks, and use of basic lab tools (multimeter, oscilloscope, etc.).
• Experience in coordinating with vendors/EMS partners and managing production workflows.
• Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and production tracking tools.

Soft Skills:

• Strong communication and coordination skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-reliability production environment.
• Problem-solving mindset with attention to detail.
• Ownership and accountability for quality and timelines.

Educational Qualification:
