Technical Process Writer - Manufacturing

TSC is currently seeking a Technical Process Writer - Manufacturing who possesses practical experience in creating, documenting, and supporting assembly procedures for electronic manufacturing. This role involves collaborating with various teams to understand assembly drawings and specifications, then simplifying electronic assembly processes into straightforward procedures and work instructions. These instructions will be integrated into a manufacturing execution system (MES) to ensure clarity, robustness, error prevention, and repeatability in manufacturing operations. The position will contribute to the production of critical defense and aerospace projects across electronics, fabrication, subassembly, and final assembly. Successful candidates will work closely with factory management, manufacturing engineering, quality assurance, and operations teams. A solid grasp of machinery, processes, routers, and instructions relevant to building electronic products is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze and document complex electronics assembly, electro-mechanical subassembly, and final system integration processes.
• Actively collaborate with Manufacturing Engineers to prepare process flows and assembly work instructions for technicians using Aegis Factory Logix Manufacturing Execution System.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives, such as lean manufacturing and Six Sigma. Help identify opportunities to improve processes, reduce waste, and increase productivity.
• Ensure all documentation (routers, travelers, instructions) are correctly mapped and managed within our MES/ERP systems, maintaining revision control and traceability required for compliance.
• Act as the primary change agent for knowledge transfer. You will perform on-the-floor training sessions to ensure technicians adopt new assembly procedures accurately and efficiently.
• Utilize documented process feedback to drive perpetual improvements in efficiency and first-pass yields.
• Adhere to safety, quality, cost, schedule, technical and programmatic requirements, and performance expectations.

Required Qualifications

• A Bachelor's degree technical writing, communications, engineering, a related technical field or supporting discipline or an Associate's Degree and 4+ years of relevant experience.
• Direct experience in developing, documenting, and validating assembly processes within a high-reliability electronics manufacturing environment (Aerospace, Defense, Medical Device preferred).
• Currently possess or has previously obtained the following IPC standards; IPC-A-610, J-STD-001 and IPC/WHAA-A-620.
• Deep functional understanding of manufacturing routers, bills of materials (BOMs), and the interrelation between Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).
• A strong grasp of mechanical assembly, soldering techniques, wiring harness assembly, and conformal coating processes.

• Exceptional ability to synthesize highly technical information and translate it into clear, simple, graphically supported procedures accessible to all skill levels.
• Demonstrated ability to build strong relationships across multi-disciplinary teams (Engineering, Quality, Operations) and facilitate consensus on process design.
• Confidence in transferring knowledge and training production personnel on complex new documentation and processes.
• US Citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active DoD secret clearance.
• Experience with Aegis Factory Logix manufacturing execution system (MES)
• Experience applying audit standards, procedures, and techniques, strongly preferred.
• Interact across all levels of the organization; efficiently and effectively communicate and implement agreed upon changes; navigate difficult situations and conversations to a productive outcome.
• Able to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to accurately maintain records and documents in accordance with policies and procedures.
