Be visionary

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include aerospace and defense, factory automation, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research, deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research.

We are looking for individuals who thrive on making an impact and want the excitement of being on a team that wins.

Job Description

We are looking for a Product Engineer to join our Product Engineering team, supporting high-performance imaging detectors used in space and scientific applications. This is an exciting opportunity to work on advanced sensor products that contribute to Earth observation, planetary science, astronomy and cutting‑edge research.

In this role, you will take ownership of released products as they move into production and through their operational lifecycle. Working closely with manufacturing, test, design and supply chain teams, you will help improve yield, resolve technical issues and ensure products are delivered to specification, on time and to the highest quality standards.

This role would suit a practical, analytical engineer who enjoys data-driven problem solving, cross‑functional collaboration and continuous improvement in a high‑reliability environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the technical performance of assigned released products, ensuring delivery on time, to specification and to agreed quality targets.

• Review, maintain and approve product documentation, including test results, manufacturing procedures, and configuration changes.

• Perform structured yield analysis and root‑cause investigations using data‑driven methods to rapidly diagnose issues and prevent recurrence.

• Initiate and support continuous improvement activities to improve product robustness, efficiency, and profitability.

• Act as a technical focal point for assigned products, escalating risks and issues appropriately.

• Review & approve proposed design and/or process changes impacting released products, ensuring appropriate technical justification, governance and configuration control

• Coordinate technical investigation, disposition and closure of non‑conformances.

• Collaborate closely with manufacturing, testing, design, and supply chain teams to ensure aligned product delivery.

• Drive industrialization of new products, from project developments into ongoing operations ensuring transfer of product knowledge and appropriate incorporation of lessons learned and risk mitigation from previous activities.

• Contribute to KPI definition, tracking and reporting, including:

• Product yield

• On‑time delivery

• Non‑conformance disposition turnaround time

• Work under the guidance of the Product Engineering Team Leader, taking ownership of assigned products and tasks.

• Develop strong technical understanding of products, processes, and manufacturing flows.

What we are looking for:

• Strong technical foundation (degree in Engineering, Physics, Manufacturing or equivalent industrial experience) with experience in electronics or semiconductor manufacturing; imaging sensors (CCD/CMOS) advantageous.

• Experience supporting manufacturing, test, or product engineering activities across development, industrialisation, and volume or long‑lifecycle production; ideally within high‑reliability / regulated environments

• A data‑driven problem solver who enjoys getting to root cause, improving yield and performance, and leading structured investigations using tools such as 8D, 5‑Whys, and Ishikawa.

• Comfortable owning complex cross‑functional activities, balancing multiple priorities, and driving technical issues decisively through to closure and into production.

• Clear, confident communicator with a collaborative and improvement‑led mindset, willing to challenge design and process decisions to improve manufacturability and overall product performance
