• Thrive in an environment that is fast paced and very much “hands on”.

Primary responsibilities will include: 

• Participate and eventually lead hardware development for various projects ranging from small to large.


• Identify new applications and opportunities to improve existing processes


• Participate and eventually lead all aspects of the product lifecycle:
  
  
  
  • Development of technical requirements and specifications
  
  
  • Mechanical design and drawing preparation
  
  
  • Evaluating and complying with industry codes and standards (CMAA, ANSI, AWS, ASTM and occasionally ASME)
  
  
  • Formulation of acceptance criteria
  
  
  • Writing testing and validation documentation
  
  
  • Development of user manuals
  
  
  • Perform acceptance testing in accordance with acceptance criteria
  
  
  • Overseeing fabrication and construction of equipment
  
  
  • Overseeing and conducting testing and qualification of equipment
  
  
  • Support hardware maintenance in the form of improvement implementation and, at times, hands on maintenance
  
  
  
  


• Support products by on-site presence


• Ownership of project budget and scheduling

All candidates must meet the following minimum requirements in order to be considered for this opportunity.  Candidates who exceed minimum qualifications may be considered for a higher level position.

• Engineer IV: BS in EE or CpE. plus 5-7 years of engineering experience. An advanced degree may be substituted for related exp. (MS 1-2 years or PhD 1-3 years).


• Principal Engineer: BS in EE or CpE. plus 7-10 years of engineering experience. An advanced degree may be substituted for related exp. (MS 1-2 years or PhD 1-3 years).


• Proficient in mechanical design


• Mechanically inclined and understand how machines work and how to design them so they are functional, simple to use and service


• Familiar with inter-disciplinary design combining mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, electronics, electrical, software, etc.


• Ability to communicate clearly and precisely in oral, written, and presentation formats.


• Experienced in solid modelling software (Solidworks preferred)

The following requirements are desired and will be used to differentiate all candidates who apply for this position.

• Other solid modelling experience acceptable (Microstation, Pro-Engineer, Inventor, etc.)


• Welding, machining and fabrication experience a plus. Familiarity with these processes acceptable, but hands-on preferred.


• Professional Engineer Certification a plus


• Candidate should have strong troubleshooting skills and understand mechanical systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, etc.


• Experience with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software for design use in a collaborative design environment


• Electromechanical or additional courses of study in EE, BSCS or robotics also a plus.


• Candidate must be familiar with inter-disciplinary design combining mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, electronics, electrical, software, etc.

Travel: Foreign and Domestic travel is up to 10%.
