Archaius Inc, a U.S.-owned small business headquartered in Morrisville, North Carolina, specializes in anti-jamming and signal resilience technologies for the electromagnetic spectrum. The company designs, develops, and deploys hardware and software protection that safeguards GPS and other radiofrequency signals in contested electromagnetic environments, serving U.S. federal agencies, law enforcement, military, and allied partners.
The Production Engineer will support the manufacturing scale-up of hardware, focusing on production readiness, quality, and consistent build execution. Reporting into Engineering and working closely with Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Product, Test & Evaluation, Operations, and Finance, this role is central to transitioning designs into reliable, repeatable production.
Key responsibilities include:
- Develop and improve production processes that enable repeatable builds
- Review manufacturability, tolerance stack-ups, and assembly methods with Mechanical and Electrical Engineering teams
- Support QA and QC activities for mechanical and electrical assemblies, including in-process checks and final verification
- Conduct first article inspections and assess supplier capability for mechanical and electronic components
- Create and maintain work instructions, assembly guides, and inspection criteria
- Implement engineering change orders (ECOs) and bill-of-materials (BOM) changes while ensuring build configuration accuracy
- Troubleshoot production issues and support structured root cause analysis across electromechanical systems
- Review data trends including yield, defects, and cycle time to recommend improvements
- Provide input on materials, adhesives, finishes, and process choices affecting mechanical and electrical performance
- Coordinate with suppliers and internal teams during pilot builds and production transitions
- Support Operations with workflow setup, equipment use, and safe production practices
This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving environment where you will develop stable processes, solve structured problems, and work across multiple engineering disciplines and business functions.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or related field
- 3 to 7 years of experience in production, manufacturing, or process engineering
- Hands-on experience with mechanical and basic electrical assembly, inspection, and troubleshooting
- Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and mechanical drawings
- Familiarity with inspection of electrical assemblies, PCBs, or wiring as part of QA or verification
- Ability to create clear and controlled production documentation
- Experience with structured root cause and corrective action methods
- Strong communication skills and ability to work across engineering, product, operations, and suppliers
Preferred Skills:
- Experience with PFMEA, SPC, lean tools, or continuous improvement practices
- Experience with first articles, supplier qualification, or scaling production
- Familiarity with electromechanical or RF hardware
- Knowledge of electronics manufacturing processes or electromechanical system builds
- Exposure to cost modeling, process evaluation, or material selection
- Experience supporting reliability, safety, or environmental considerations in manufacturing
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
