High Voltage Electrical Engineer
About The Position
Install, commission, service, and troubleshoot advanced industrial X-ray inspection systems, both in-house and at customer sites worldwide. Serve as the primary technical contact for customers and collaborate with mechanical, electrical, software, and imaging engineering teams to keep high-voltage systems operating safely and reliably. The role includes installing and commissioning industrial X-ray systems, commissioning microfocus open-tube systems and their imaging software, performing factory and site acceptance testing, maintaining and troubleshooting X-ray sources and related high-voltage, vacuum, cooling, and motion systems, and supporting radiation safety, customer training, technical support, documentation, upgrades, and retrofits.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, Applied Physics, or a related field.
- At least 5 years servicing industrial X-ray systems, high-voltage systems, and/or vacuum technology.
- Hands-on experience with at least one of the following: microfocus X-ray sources, high-voltage generators (90kV–450kV), or LINAC systems.
- Ability to read electrical schematics and technical drawings.
- Experience with diagnostic tools such as oscilloscopes and digital multimeters.
- Working knowledge of radiation safety practices and regulatory compliance.
- U.S. citizenship and ability to pass background and security checks for government and military site clearance.
- Clean, valid driver's license and ability to pass a drug test.
- Ability to lift and install components weighing 55+ lbs and work around high-voltage and radiation-generating equipment.
Nice To Haves
- NDT, DR, or CT inspection system service experience.
- Experience with vacuum systems (turbo/roughing pumps), motion control, or industrial automation.
- CE/UL regulatory compliance experience; LINAC RF/accelerator systems experience.
- Embedded/microcontroller troubleshooting, soldering, and basic MRP/ERP knowledge.
Responsibilities
- Install and commission industrial X-ray systems, including setup, beam alignment, geometric calibration, and detector integration.
- Commission microfocus open-tube systems, including tube conditioning and vacuum validation, as well as imaging software and CT acquisition setup.
- Run Factory and Site Acceptance Testing (FAT/SAT).
- Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on microfocus X-ray sources, high-voltage generators (90kV–450kV), LINAC systems, and associated high-voltage power supplies, cooling, vacuum, and motion subsystems.
- Diagnose arcing, beam instability, focal spot drift, vacuum failures, and high-voltage breakdown; perform root cause analysis and corrective action.
- Troubleshoot high-voltage, control, and electromechanical subsystems using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and diagnostic software.
- Conduct radiation safety surveys and leakage testing, verify interlocks, and support regulatory inspections.
- Train customer operators and maintenance staff; provide phone, email, and remote support; maintain service documentation.
- Support system upgrades and retrofits.
