Reporting to the Continuous Improvement Engineering Manager, the Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for supporting, sustaining, and improving manufacturing and quality operations
. Our X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers deliver high-performance elemental analysis used in applications that improve public safety, regulatory compliance, and industrial efficiency.

In this position, you will provide mechanical engineering expertise within Operations, managing projects associated with engineering and process changes that drive quality, process improvements, and value engineering (VAVE). You will bridge the gap between design and production by leading product transfer activities during New Product Introduction (NPI) and ensuring technical risks are mitigated prior to launch.

This is a high-impact role where success is measured by your ability to drive performance across Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Productivity. Working cross-functionally with Engineering, R&D, and Quality, you will troubleshoot complex electromechanical systems, identify root causes for failures, and implement data-driven improvements that improve our profitability and reduce lead time, scrap and rework.

This position is part of the Continuous Improvement team located in East Greenbush, New York
, and will be onsite.

In this role, a typical day will look like:

• Manufacturing Implementation: Own the manufacturing implementation of engineering changes and new product introduction (NPI) to transition from engineering design to manufacturing.

• Process Engineering: Drive continuous improvement using LEAN Manufacturing VES tools (Veralto Enterprise System) to define, measure and control production processes.

• Root Cause Analysis: Participate in troubleshooting of analyzers by identifying failures in their electromechanical subsystems and individual components to determine root causes of failures and improve first pass yield (FPY).

• Technical
  
  Risk Management:
  
  Participate in design and process FMEA exercises to ensure technical risks are identified and mitigated before product launch.

• Design Review: Review of mechanical and electrical drawings to identify design changes that positively impact reliability and cost.

• Change Management: Review and update bills of materials (BOM), Standard Work, and inventory via the engineering change.

• Cross-Functional Teamwork: Coordinate engineering changes with commercial, apps, engineering, software and procurement teams.

• Training & Mentorship: Train and coach operations personnel on critical manufacturing controls, best practices, and troubleshooting, empowering our associates to understand failure modes in their process and drive improvements.

The essential requirements of the job include:

• Education:
  
  Bachelor's degree (B.S.) in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

• Technical Proficiency:
  Experience with mechanical modeling using Solid Works or equivalent software. In-depth knowledge of interpreting complex electromechanical drawings.

• Demonstrated experience performing Product and Supplier Quality improvements.

• Experience identifying and implementing process changes.

Desired Skills / Experience

• Experience:
  
  3+ years in mechanical/manufacturing engineering is a plus.

• Lean Manufacturing:
  Experience with Kaizen, Root cause analysis, Lean manufacturing methodologies.

• Variation Reduction:
  Experience in yield improvement and variation reduction methodologies.

• Tooling Design:
  Ability to design and implement production improvements such as tools, jigs, and fixtures.
