Senior Mechanical Engineer, X-Ray Source Development

Moxtek•Orem, UT

12d•$100 - $110

About The Position

Take an active role in designing, building, and advancing innovative X-ray sources and specialized electromechanical systems. As a member of a multidisciplinary team of Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, and Scientists, drive technical solutions from concept through design, simulation, prototyping, testing, and production release. This hands-on engineering role involves identifying opportunities, addressing complex design problems, and owning project deliverables such as component design, modeling, detailed drawings, technical documentation, and the development and maintenance of failure mode and effects analyses (FMEAs). Apply finite element analysis and other engineering tools to predict, evaluate, and optimize system performance, and use engineering judgment to turn simulation results into practical design improvements. Work with cross-functional teams to define requirements, resolve technical challenges, validate designs, and transition products to internal and external customers. The work includes designing, simulating, assembling, troubleshooting, and testing hardware, as well as opportunities to influence engineering practices and collaborate with customers. The role participates in and may lead projects through requirement gathering, concept generation, FMEAs, design reviews, process and tooling development, and continuous improvement. It develops X-ray products using 3D modeling, simulation, and experimentation; identifies commercially available technologies, equipment, tooling, and processes; provides technical leadership; and supports compliance with industry standards, regulatory guidelines, and internal procedures. The position also collaborates across business functions, prepares technical reports and project updates for senior leadership, documents engineering processes and outcomes, facilitates transfer to production, and conducts research on high-voltage fields as applied to high-vacuum devices and high-voltage power supplies.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in engineering, science, or a technical discipline such as Mechanical, Manufacturing Engineering, or Systems Engineering, with at least 5 years of engineering experience in a technical development environment; alternatively, a master's degree with at least 2 years of experience.
Proficiency in manufacturing and design/simulation systems (CAD/CAE).
Familiarity with data analysis and engineering modeling techniques.
Team leadership and task management abilities.
Ability to understand the technologies used in company products and the markets in which the company operates.
Self-motivation and ability to recognize opportunities, learn, and adapt quickly.
Experience presenting to internal and external customers and team members, virtually or in person.
Proficiency in financial calculations related to product cost and department budgets.
Proficiency in project management.
