Electro-Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer

Varex Imaging Corporation•Salt Lake City, UT

About The Position

We are looking for a strong manufacturing engineer to support our dual-ended x-ray products. The ideal candidate has a strong hands-on skill set with a broad range of manufacturing processes, equipment, assembly methods, tooling, lean production, inventory management, and documentation practices with an overarching drive to help production teams make their job better and more efficient. You will expand your hands-on experience with multiple manufacturing and assembly methods. You will have exposure to advanced medical x-ray imaging components and the manufacturing and design challenges associated with managing thermal loads in high voltage electro-mechanical systems within the Medical Device Industry. This role is an on the production floor manufacturing engineer working directly with the production line team, product (continuing engineering), R&D engineering, maintenance, and quality in building medical x-ray imaging components. If you can handle success and failure with an indomitable spirit, and work through the rigors of existing process improvements - we would love to talk to you!

Requirements

Working knowledge of metals (steels, copper, refractory), ceramics, and polymers
Moderate hands-on experience in functional testing and troubleshooting thermo-mechanical and electro-mechanical devices (heat exchangers, mechanical assemblies, electro-magnetic components, x-ray generators, etc.)
Familiar with test equipment, data collection methods, lean manufacturing principles and methods
Strong desire to learn and engage in the daily engineering and production activities - Demonstrated use of scientific method, six sigma, and other manufacturing system improvement tools
Strong interpersonal and communication skills including proficiency with Office products (Word/Excel/PowerPoint)
Demonstrated experience with troubleshooting
B.S. degree in a relevant engineering field such as Industrial, Manufacturing, Manufacturing Engineering Technology, or Electro-Mechanical Engineering
3+ years industry experience.
Light work that will occasionally require employee to lift/move up to 25 lbs. and occasionally lift more than 25 lbs. to greater than 35lbs. (all weights over this would be expected to use lift support devices)
Lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or moving heavy equipment and/or supplies occasionally.
Reaching above and below the shoulder occasionally.
Above-average agility and dexterity with the ability to hold, grasp and manipulate small parts and use hand and power tools occasionally.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and handle physical exertion, such as long periods of standing, walking, bending, crouching, stretching, reaching, repetitive motion, or similar activities.
Work environments includes: occasionally include exposure to chemicals, electrical current, proximity to moving mechanical parts, repetitive hand motion, open flame, working from heights, cold environment, hot environment, uneven surface, fumes.

Nice To Haves
