Manufacturing Specialist

At Senra Systems, we believe that the future of manufacturing lies not in automation, but in configuration.

We supercharge electrical wire harness manufacturing through software configuration, transforming skilled assembly tasks into high-throughput production lines. We enable customers to design what they want, when they want it and deliver harness builds at record-breaking speed.

As a Manufacturing Specialist, you will lead Senra’s most complex harness builds, owning first article production, process improvement initiatives, and technical training efforts. You will be the critical link between Engineering, Production, and Quality, helping to scale and optimize our

factory operations for growth.

• Responsible for most/all of the new production introduction manufacturing lifecycle— authoring engineering masters, building mBOM’s, managing procurement efforts, designing tools, executing the hardware build, and facilitating handoff to the Manufacturing Engineering-Production team. Some tasks may include:
• Developing first-time test programs, loading, and optimizing production equipment
• Building a first article manually to inform an automated product solution; training Apprentice technicians to enable a handoff to Production
• Providing solutions to streamline harness assembly and test processes
• Author work instructions, MBOMs, and support tooling design initiatives.
• Lead continuous improvement projects and production process optimizations.
• Bridge engineering feedback into actionable floor improvements.
• Train production staff on advanced techniques and new equipment.
• Conduct structured problem-solving (DOE, root cause analysis) to improve yield and throughput.
  

What you'll bring to the team:

• High school diploma or equivalent certification (associates or bachelor's degree a plus).
• 7+ years of hands-on harness assembly experience.
• Expert in complex builds, advanced troubleshooting, and technical communication.
