Senior Engineer, Measurement

Senior Engineer, Measurement

The primary responsibility for the Senior Engineer, Measurement position is to develop and apply process measurement and automation technology within the Arconic Manufacturing System to achieve significant improvement in process capability and performance.

This will be achieved by:

• Leading multi-disciplinary technical projects that support business unit objectives for their manufacturing operations and projects to transfer newly developed technology into Arconic's manufacturing facilities.
• Interacting with Arconic's plant staff to understand their technical needs and business objectives. Writing staged project proposals, gaining acceptance, and implementing solutions to address the needs and meet the objectives.
• Identifying new developments in measurement and automation technology that emerge outside of Arconic that can be applied to achieve significant improvements in Arconic's manufacturing capability.

Major Activities / Key Challenges:

• Lead multi-disciplinary advanced manufacturing projects for implementation at Arconic's plant sites utilizing project management tools, proposals, design reviews, and gate reviews.
• Develop and deploy measurement technology using skills in instrumentation design, electronic hardware design, software design, optical design, data collection & analysis, and troubleshooting/debugging.
• Develop business cases and deploy automation systems to achieve significant improvements in Arconic's manufacturing flow-paths.
• Develop software applications using the C family of languages, MATLAB, LABVIEW, or other high-level languages.
• Design (AutoCAD, TurboCAD, or Visio) and construction of simple mechanical parts and assemblies required for the integration of measurement systems into a plant process. Alternatively, able to give direction to a mechanical designer/technician to achieve the same result.
• Identify new measurement technology, propose programs, and capture the technology for application in Arconic's manufacturing operations.
• Be an effective team leader and member on project teams that include multiple disciplines, multiple manufacturing sites, and team members with diverse backgrounds.
• Communicate both verbally and in writing project decisions, progress, and status. May include Power Point technical presentations, status reports, technical manuals & documentation, and formal final reports.
• Travel to Arconic plant sites worldwide for the planning and deployment of process measurement systems.
