In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to work with an innovative group of individuals who are all dedicated to having careers with a purpose.

In this role you will:

• Own mechanical and electromechanical projects from requirements and concept development through detailed design, supplier coordination, prototyping, testing, documentation, and implementation.
• Apply principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, hydraulics, heat transfer, and materials through analysis and design review activities.
• Develop design validation and verification test protocols.
• Support the execution of prototype tests with other engineering disciplines
• Provide detailed and consistent documentation of the product, including release and maintenance of the Engineering Change Order process.
• Participate in the Material Review Board in a timely manner to address non-conforming parts during manufacture.
• Respond to escalation of technical support of fielded units, obsolescence issues, and cost reduction activities.
• Coordinate directly with internal stakeholders, suppliers, and manufacturers to move projects from design through implementation.
• Provide solutions to complex engineering challenges that require creative use of established and/or innovative methods.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, or equivalent related experience
• Experience working with particle accelerators or related technology is considered a strong plus, as is experience with semiconductor processing equipment, medical imaging equipment, or similar physics intensive products
• Demonstrated experience designing unique machines, equipment, or complex electromechanical systems, including selecting and integrating custom and commercially available components.
• Ability to conduct root cause analysis
• Ability to design in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks), and create 2-D part drawings
• Proficient to perform engineering calculations such as strength of materials, stress/deflection
• A record of creativity, physical insight, and breadth of understanding in engineering/physics applications of moderately complex physical processes
• Strong organizational, problem-solving, and analytical skills
