20d

About The Position

As a MEMS Sensor Design Engineer with PCB Piezotronics, Inc., you will apply independent judgment, engineering education, and background knowledge to complete moderately complex to complex product design projects, meeting established cost, time, and deliverable goals, while following PCB NPD procedures. Understands and can teach advanced knowledge of PCB product design (as appropriate), sensor system design (as appropriate), and application considerations (as appropriate). Significant interaction with others outside Engineering, including third parties, is required.

Requirements

Education: Bachelors of Science degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
Experience: 10+ years of design engineering experience. Precision component and assembly design experience. Electro-mechanical assembly design expertise. Experience with tolerance analysis, sensor design, application knowledge and material/metallurgy properties, selection and processing. Basic computer skills, Microsoft Office software, 3D modeling software
Travel Requirement: As needed.

Responsibilities

Under the auspices of a Lead Engineer, uses independent judgment and creative latitude to design, develop, or modify products of advanced complexity, applying appropriate engineering principles.
Determines the feasibility of complex designs, considering costs, time limitations, planning, and other technical and economic factors.
Uses engineering judgment to determine and then to analyze competing product design approaches in materials and construction, many of which may involve novelty.
Significant knowledge of and experience with both mechanical and electrical design inputs.
Is a recognized expert in sensor design, test methods, and calibration procedures.
Uses computer-assisted engineering software and equipment for advanced applications involving product design and analysis.
May lead small Teams in the completion of technology projects.
Analyzes test data and reports to determine if the design meets functional and performance specifications.
Possesses an in-depth understanding of the causal relationships of product design to performance and product cost and can modify product designs accordingly.
Deep and thorough understanding of 6 Sigma methodologies, such as a design (IDOV) and continuous improvement (DMAIC) tools. Willing and able to use (and teach) the tools.
Is capable of employing advanced mathematics to problems in engineering, including statistics.
Studies engineering, technical, and industry publications to keep abreast of industry trends and developments in technology. May prepare and/or present technical papers and participate in industry symposia.
Follows PCB NPD procedures.
Performs other related duties as assigned.
