Transducer Design Engineer, II

Job Description

Perform engineering design, development, and sustaining tasks. Assist senior engineers in various phases of ongoing projects and lead projects as assigned. Work with a dynamic team of product managers, mechanical, acoustical and manufacturing engineers to create new best-in-class single element conventional, phased array  transducers, and conventional eddy current probes. Work includes concept generation, CAD design and documentation, FMEA, fixture design and testing.
 

Job Duties

• Designs, develops, modifies and evaluates mechanical parts and components for ultrasonic probes and scanners.
• Create and maintain documentation to accepted standards for new and mature products as needed.
• Collaborate with other functions to update and release documentation using the PLM system to create and process PCN, ECN and First Article Approvals.
• Evaluate new materials, components, processes (bonding, electrical connection, assembly) methods for use in new designs.
• Calculate tolerance stack ups and account for machining and other manufacturing process considerations where applicable.
• Support FMEA and PFMEA for new designs to ensure Design for Quality (DFQ) and Design for Excellence (DFX) objectives are achieved.
• Support transfer of products to production and sustaining activities for the product’s lifecycle
