Advanced Manufacturing Engineer - Detector Process & Integration

Job Description Summary

As an Advanced Manufacturing Engineer (AME), you will provide technical leadership and manufacturing support for HLA, CsI scintillator deposition, and detector back-end processes. You will drive improvements in process capability, equipment performance, product yield, and manufacturing robustness while supporting the introduction of new equipment and processes.

You will collaborate with Manufacturing, Process Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, and Product Engineering to solve complex manufacturing challenges, establish stable and repeatable processes, and successfully transition new technologies into production.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

• Provide technical leadership for HLA, CsI deposition, parylene coating, laser/mechanical scribing, epoxy sealing, and related detector back-end manufacturing processes.
• Establish and maintain robust process windows, recipes, operating parameters, and manufacturing controls.
• Troubleshoot complex process and equipment issues using structured problem-solving and root-cause analysis; lead corrective actions and production recovery as needed.
• Monitor and analyze yield, first-pass yield (FPY), defect trends, process capability, equipment performance, and critical-to-quality (CTQ) metrics to identify and prioritize improvements.
• Apply statistical process control (SPC), design of experiments (DOE), Lean, Six Sigma, and FMEA methodologies to improve process capability, yield, cycle time, equipment uptime, and manufacturing efficiency.
• Lead or support equipment installation, qualification, validation, and production release, including IQ/OQ/PQ or equivalent activities as appropriate.
• Evaluate new manufacturing technologies and partner with suppliers and cross-functional teams to improve equipment capability, reliability, and production readiness.
• Support new product and process introductions through manufacturability assessments, PFMEA, design/process reviews, equipment-readiness assessments, and production release.
• Drive standardization and share best practices, lessons learned, and technical solutions across engineering and manufacturing teams.
• Ensure processes and documentation comply with applicable Quality Management System (QMS) requirements and provide technical support for CAPA, nonconformance, MRB, supplier-quality, calibration, and incoming inspection activities.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline with a minimum of 6 years’ experience , OR an Associate's degree in a related technical discipline with a minimum of 8 years of relevant manufacturing, process engineering, or technical experience.
• Experience in manufacturing/process engineering within a technically complex production environment.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot interactions among equipment, materials, processes, and product performance.
• Experience with data analysis, yield improvement, process characterization, and structured root-cause analysis.
• Ability to lead technical projects and work effectively across Manufacturing, Quality, Engineering, Maintenance, and supplier organizations.

Preferred Qualifications / Experience

• Experience with vacuum deposition, thin-film processing, coating, laser processing, adhesive/epoxy processes, or precision manufacturing.
• Experience with CsI or other scintillator materials, parylene deposition, vacuum systems, laser scribing, or detector manufacturing.
• Working knowledge of SPC, DOE, MSA/Gage R&R, PFMEA, process capability (Cp/Cpk), and Lean/Six Sigma methods.
• Experience qualifying manufacturing equipment and transferring processes from development into production.
• Experience working in a regulated manufacturing environment, such as medical-device manufacturing.
