Manufacturing Engineering Intern

Varex has a new product line manufacturing x-ray products using liquid metal bearings (LMB's). The new product manufacturing line is nearing readiness for production standup. A critical engineering deliverable for all new products is life testing to validate expected field life of our products. For products being developed for this new LMB product line Varex needs to develop a CT gantry life test system to fulfill this engineering deliverable.

We have obtained a basic CT gantry platform to use for this development and are now needing to create a harmonized programing control interface that includes control for the gantry rotation and the HV generator that controls the LMB X-ray tube. This position will therefore require controls and automation experience and interest for the selected candidate.

You will work closely with a R&D Engineering team mentor and collaborate with the LMB R&D team in general.

• Learn X-Ray safety procedures
• Design fixtures using Solidworks as needed to balance the rotating assembly of the CT gantry system
• Program and develop a software controls interface (language and environment for programming must be Python and/or Labview)
• Present designs and programming to cross-functional teams for design review and feedback
• Support ordering and assembly of designed fixtures (if needed)
• Create operator interface and process instructions
• Test & validate fixtures and controls processes
• Report on progress to Engineering Manager weekly

• Demonstrated use of scientific method - this is key!
• Experience in labview and/or python for automation controls
• Experience running test plans, taking good data, and analyzing the data.
• Some statistics experience for refining experimental data (beneficial but not required).
• Experience with Solidworks

• Ability to write reports / Word / Excel / Powerpoint
• Willingness to design, build and test your creation

• Previous design and build experience
• Previous automation/programming experience
• Demonstrated design for manufacturing experience
• 6-sigma certifications
• Technical writing experience in publications or technical manuals
• Structural FEA analysis experience in ANSYS Mechanical
