Drive improvement of overall equipment efficiency, manufacturing tolerance, process
stability, process monitoring, machine reliability, and automation
Refine and revisit machine requirements with cross-functional teams from product, process,
applications, and operations.
Proof-of-concept calculations and benchtop testing to inform design decisions
System and sub-system level design and analysis; utilizing parametric modeling to evaluate
trade-offs
Own & update subsystem designs, BOM, specifications, CAD models, and drawings
Select and manage external vendors for components and subsystems
Statistical analysis for assembly tolerance stack up and perform root-cause analyses
What you will need
Required
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
1+ years of experience
Knowledge of electro-mechanical systems and/or machine design
Familiarity with design for manufacturing, including sheet metal, machined and welded
parts.
Exposure to a variety of automation systems, such as: control cabinets, industrial sensors,
PLCs, data acquisition and I/O devices.
Experience with GD&T, CAD, and FMEA
US Citizen and/or Permanent Resident
Preferred
Familiar with metal additive manufacturing, robotics, or industrial automation
Experience with rapid prototyping: 3D printing, mill, lathe, laser cutting, CNC, hand tools
Experience with any of the following sub-disciplines is a plus: fluid and gas handling, motion
planning and control, hydraulics, laser cutting, and vacuum systems
Export Control Requirement: This position may require access to information, technology, technical data, software, or other items subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations. Any offer of employment for this position may be contingent upon the candidate's ability to obtain and maintain any required export authorization or eligibility to access controlled items.
