About The Position

The Manufacturing Engineer contributes to the development, improvement, and optimization of processes and techniques used to manufacture Image Intensifier (I2) tubes. The role focuses on improving current processes and materials management to increase manufacturing capabilities and yield, reduce process variation, improve component performance, and implement manufacturing standard work and best practices. The engineer develops optimized process recipes and methodologies and supports the timely implementation of new processes into production. Success is measured by cost savings from reduced tool downtime, improved process yield, and enhanced product performance. The position provides advanced sustaining engineering support, troubleshoots process and equipment issues, develops process controls, analyzes production data, and leads continuous improvement and qualification activities. It also involves collaboration with operations, maintenance, quality, and supply chain, maintaining engineering documentation, mentoring colleagues, and communicating technical findings and business impacts to leadership and stakeholders.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 4 years of prior relevant experience; or a graduate degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, a minimum of 8 years of prior related experience.
