Manufacturing Engineer - X-Ray Optical Systems

ChemTreat•East Greenbush, NY

2d•$70,000 - $85,000•Onsite

About The Position

Reporting to the Continuous Improvement Engineering Manager, the Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for supporting, sustaining, and improving manufacturing and quality operations. Our X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers deliver high-performance elemental analysis used in applications that improve public safety, regulatory compliance, and industrial efficiency. In this position, you will provide mechanical engineering expertise within Operations, managing projects associated with engineering and process changes that drive quality, process improvements, and value engineering (VAVE). You will bridge the gap between design and production by leading product transfer activities during New Product Introduction (NPI) and ensuring technical risks are mitigated prior to launch. This is a high-impact role where success is measured by your ability to drive performance across Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Productivity. Working cross-functionally with Engineering, R&D, and Quality, you will troubleshoot complex electromechanical systems, identify root causes for failures, and implement data-driven improvements that improve our profitability and reduce lead time, scrap and rework. This position is part of the Continuous Improvement team located in East Greenbush, New York, and will be onsite.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
Experience with mechanical modeling using SolidWorks or equivalent software.
In-depth knowledge of interpreting complex electromechanical drawings.
Demonstrated experience performing Product and Supplier Quality improvements.
Experience identifying and implementing process changes.

Nice To Haves

3+ years in mechanical/manufacturing engineering is a plus.
Experience with Kaizen, Root cause analysis, Lean manufacturing methodologies.
Experience in yield improvement and variation reduction methodologies.
Ability to design and implement production improvements such as tools, jigs, and fixtures.

Responsibilities

Own the manufacturing implementation of engineering changes and new product introduction (NPI) to transition from engineering design to manufacturing.
Drive continuous improvement using LEAN Manufacturing VES tools (Veralto Enterprise System) to define, measure and control production processes.
Participate in troubleshooting of analyzers by identifying failures in their electromechanical subsystems and individual components to determine root causes of failures and improve first pass yield (FPY).
Participate in design and process FMEA exercises to ensure technical risks are identified and mitigated before product launch.
Review of mechanical and electrical drawings to identify design changes that positively impact reliability and cost.
Review and update bills of materials (BOM), Standard Work, and inventory via the engineering change.
Coordinate engineering changes with commercial, apps, engineering, software and procurement teams.
Train and coach operations personnel on critical manufacturing controls, best practices, and troubleshooting, empowering our associates to understand failure modes in their process and drive improvements.
