Contract electronics manufacturer for automotive, industrial, and medical OEMs
Kimball Electronics is a contract manufacturer serving automotive, industrial, and medical customers globally from a 5,000+ person workforce. The tech stack (SAP, Allen-Bradley, Fanuc, Cognex, Power BI) reflects a capital-intensive manufacturing operation optimized for precision and traceability. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 36 roles posted in the last 30 days, concentrated heavily in manufacturing (29 roles) and operations (10 roles), signaling scaling of production capacity; notably absent are significant engineering or product hires, consistent with a contract manufacturing model where customer specs drive design.
Kimball Electronics is a public contract electronics manufacturer founded in 1961 and headquartered in Jasper, Indiana. The company provides Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) to three core verticals—automotive, industrial, and medical—across global markets. Service lines include manufacturing execution, supply chain and logistics, design and engineering support, testing and validation, and regulatory compliance services. Active projects reflect the operational priorities: yellow-belt continuous improvement, business transformation assessments, supply chain strengthening, cost reduction, and quality variation control. Pain points cluster around on-time delivery reliability, quality consistency, machine downtime, and procurement efficiency—typical constraints in high-volume contract manufacturing.
SAP and SAP S/4HANA are the core ERP platforms. The stack also includes Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and Fanuc for production automation, Cognex for vision systems, and Power BI for analytics.
On-time delivery, quality consistency, machine downtime, material cost reduction, and inefficient global processes. Current initiatives target yellow-belt training, supply chain enhancement, cost reduction, and safety improvement.
