Today, worldwide more than 11,000 employees are working on this permanent challenge at over 90 locations on all continents. Bruker continues to build upon its extensive range of products and solutions, its broad base of installed systems and a strong reputation among its customers. Being one of the world's leading analytical instrumentation companies, Bruker is strongly committed to fully meet its customers’ needs and to continue to develop state-of-the-art technologies and innovative solutions for today's analytical questions.

Bruker Nano, one of Bruker’s four operating segments, provides customers in academic and governmental institutions, life science, materials, and applied industries with the tools to determine the characteristics of matter and visualize the structure of molecules. Divisions within BNANO include Bruker AXS, Bruker Nano Analytics, Bruker Nano Surfaces and Metrology, Fluorescence Microscopy, and Canopy.

As a Manufacturing Technologist, you'll work in our production department with a team of technicians and engineers responsible for manufacturing the Hysitron product line of instrumentation. This position offers the opportunity to gain hands‑on skill with cutting‑edge technology and opens the door to an exciting future in mechanics and engineering. Under the appropriate guidance, you will be responsible for building electro‑mechanical components and devices that are used in our line of nanoindentation products. You will have opportunities to work with advanced scientific tools including the Hysitron scanning probe nanomechanical test systems.

Responsibilities

• Assembly of electro‑mechanical components and devices working under general supervision.
• Recommend and implement corrective and preventive actions, design improvements, and process changes to improve efficiency, quality, performance, reliability, and cost.
• Monitor or measure manufacturing processes to identify ways to reduce losses, decrease time requirements, or improve quality.
• Identify and implement new manufacturing methods, technologies, processes, or equipment.
• Create engineering drawings and manufacturing documents using computer‑aided design (SolidWorks CAD).
• Develop new and improve existing assembly documentation using computer software (MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Stream).

Qualifications

• Knowledge of the practical application of engineering science and technology. This includes applying principles, techniques, procedures, and equipment to the design and production of various goods and services.
