Ideal candidate

Comfortable working in a fast paced environment with frequently changing priorities, willing to defend decisions to peers, and able to accept and implement feedback.

Satisfied with providing engineering support that is divided into 40% manufacturing procedure development and refinement, 20% resolving nonconforming product (including actions to eliminate the reoccurrence), 20% production and test fixture development and support, and 20% design.

WHAT WE NEED TODAY

Support for lifecycle management of existing devices, review of new devices for manufacturability and serviceability, disposition of nonconforming product, and creation/improving manufacturing and servicing procedures.

WHAT WE WILL TRUST YOU WITH

Participating with a cross-functional team on new-product transition from the design owner/legal Device Manufacturer to our Company. This includes obtaining the overall understanding, intended use, and theory of operation of the device, determining how the current Device Master Record documentation will be transitioned into Company’s quality management system and ERP system, and determining any potential gaps in Device Master Record documentation that should be addressed for our staff’s training, skills, and expertise related to manufacturing, testing, and servicing the specific technology.

Creating of error free solid models.

Supporting the implementation of the plans made for new-product transition.

Identify specialized technologies inherent to products to be manufactured and gain technical understanding and confidence to be a technical reference on those products.

Identify and develop test fixtures (including needed software) for subassembly verification prior to final system integration. Develop and validate final system test methodology and procedures.

Implementing the Product Engineer’s strategy for training manufacturing, testing, and servicing employees on device changes.

Provide technical support to staff in the field during service events.

Source and validate alternate components to alleviate end of life components.

Investigating actual product performance and reliability issues and developing appropriate mitigations.

Reviewing the product for potential performance or reliability issues and developing preventive mitigations.

Reviewing the product for potential improvements and design and implement those improvements.

Reviewing suggested changes to the device. This includes reviewing the impact to the Design History File, device master record, compliance testing reports, regulatory submission documents, and risk management reports.

Planning and performing necessary verification and validation for changes prior to implementation.

Participating in the review of in-house non-conforming product, determining how to disposition the issue, and discussing with a cross-functional team what mitigations could be implemented for the prevention of future occurrences, and determine if the risk/benefit analysis supports the implementation of the potential mitigations.

THE QUALIFICATIONS THAT MATTER MOST TO US

Degree in Mechatronics or Mechanical Engineering.

Mastery of SolidWorks and its capabilities.

Experience with multiple types of manufacturing technologies (CNC, injection molding, sheet metal, machining, casting, etc.).

Ability to create solutions within the confines of design constraints.

Ability to design automated test fixtures.

Ability to read standards that apply to specific products and apply the requirements to the product design.

Microsoft Office Suite Proficient.

Personality

• You thrive by providing engineering support that is divided into 40% manufacturing procedure development and refinement, 20% resolving nonconforming product (including actions to eliminate the reoccurrence), 20% production and test fixture development and support, and 20% design.
• You get gratification by implementing solutions that make existing solutions smarter and more efficient.
• You can easily jump from design work to other things and then back to design work.
• You have a good eye for mechanical design; it’s really the essence of who you are.
• Being reactive is ok, but you strive to be proactive.
• You are part of the solution and do not let obstacles get in the way.
• You take ownership to see a task to completion.
• You can discern when an email is appropriate, but also when it is time to make a phone call and when it is time to have an in-person discussion.
• You love to design and create but are just as happy digging into the minutia of details such as tolerance stack up and clear and concise notes on drawings.
• You build solid models from the ground up, not taking shortcuts.
• You get a sense of pride when someone can easily follow procedures you have written.
• You can adjust your presentation/explanation styles depending on your audience without intimidating or offending the audience.
• You understand that not all aspects of a component can be inspected and are able to capture the essence of what is critical when writing inspection instructions.
• You get excited about learning and utilizing new technology.
• Your root cause analysis does not end when you answer the first “why.”
• You are able to and enjoy mentoring others.
