Job Description

Responsible for delivering calibration stations (featuring mechanical, electrical, & optical components) from concept phase to factory-appropriate solution.  Candidate is expected to support their design with fundamental engineering principles, rigorous testing, and prototypes.  Ideal candidate is a strong collaborator, reaching across organizations to clarify expectations, achieve ’buy-in’ where appropriate, and see their design through to the final customer.  Ideal candidate is willing to independently pursue new skills/knowledge as needed to complete projects.

Responsibilities:

• Develop mechanical concepts backed by fundamental engineering principles, calculations, simulations, tolerance analysis, etc.
• Drive implementation of calibration stations from concept phase to factory-appropriate solution (on site and at international manufacturing facility).
• Design/implement verification processes to ensure station precision and accuracy over time and across duplicate stations.
• Drive collaboration between organizations to bridge communication gaps, clarify internal/external customer requirements, sync dependencies, and support transparent exchange of data.  
• Adept at problem solving, issue-resolution, and continued system improvement.  Understands when an off-the-shelf solution is appropriate and when creative, in-house designs are necessary.
• Ideal candidate can identify short and long-term solutions, confidently schedule work, and close issues in a timely manner.
• Implement/enforce processes that ensure a high standard of quality for mechanical design, testing, analysis, 3D CAD modeling, drawings/specs, BOM creation, etc.
• Drive station development in sync with high-level product goals (eg. build schedule, budget, cycle time, performance, etc.)
• Ideal candidate is hands-on and pro-active, able to assemble/repair calibration stations, perform testing, manage shipping logistics, etc.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years relevant experience in manufacturing of consumer/enterprise electronics products.
• Strong leadership skills with a demonstrated record of leading multi-disciplinary and multi-faceted projects successfully.
• Experience with precision machined components (tolerances down to +/-0.05mm), 3D-printed materials, sheet metal, T-Slot Framing, kinematic mounting.
• Experience with CREO and Windchill.  Experience creating and maintaining ’top-down’ (AKA ’master-driven’) CAD models.
• Experience creating CAD drawings with appropriate GD&T notation.
• Working knowledge of statistics for hypothesis testing, Gauge R&R studies, and analysis of Round Robin studies.
• Must be comfortable in a highly dynamic and creative environment bound by time constraints.
• Exceptional presentation, organization, and logistical skills.
• Must be willing and able to travel internationally (15-20%)
