Senior Equipment Engineer (Mechanical)

Join our team as a Senior Equipment Engineer (Mechanical) and become a subject matter expert on the mechanical systems of production L-PBF equipment. You will own technical issues and projects, mentor technicians and peers, and contribute to improving existing work instructions and preventative maintenance. You will also troubleshoot mechanical issues, mine existing datasets, and engage with Development Engineering. This role requires a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, along with 6+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering or equipment engineering.

Responsibilities

• Assumer la responsabilité technique des problèmes et des projets liés à l'équipement assigné, en définissant l'approche et les normes pour les défis techniques récurrents.
• Améliorer les instructions de travail existantes et rédiger de nouvelles instructions pour garantir l'autonomie de l'équipe de service.
• Agir en tant que ressource technique pour les opérateurs et le service, en fournissant un soutien pour les problèmes nouveaux qui ne sont pas couverts par les procédures existantes.
• Experience owning the sustaining performance of production equipment and supporting it through launch or ramp
• Demonstrated ability to lead root cause investigations using structured methodologies (e.g., RCCA, 5 Whys, Fishbone, Fault Tree) on recurring or ambiguous problems, and to verify that corrective actions held

Requirements

• Ability to lawfully access information and technology that is subject to US export controls
• Experience with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and CAD (for example SolidWorks), and with reading mechanical drawings and P&IDs
• Knowledge of AS9100, AMS, PPAP, APQP, or equivalent quality systems
• Experience with a configuration management or engineering change process
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline
• Experience supporting capital equipment installation, commissioning, or factory expansion
• Ability to work and influence across engineering, operations, quality, maintenance, and service teams without direct authority, and to communicate clearly with people at very different levels of technical depth
• Experience with mechanical subsystems common to L-PBF and similar equipment, such as recoating or powder handling, precision motion and alignment, inert gas flow and filtration, chillers and thermal management, or vacuum and pressure systems
• Strong analytical and data-driven decision-making skills, including finding problems in large datasets and not only responding to reported failures
• Strong mechanical troubleshooting skill on production equipment (for example motion, fluid, gas, or thermal systems), with working knowledge of electrical and controls systems sufficient to troubleshoot alongside electrical and controls engineers
• Experience writing or standardizing work instructions that enabled a Service or Operations team to work more independently
• 6+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, equipment engineering, reliability engineering, or advanced production environments

Preferred

• Experience with Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) or other metal additive manufacturing technologies
• Experience contributing to a fleet-level reliability, trending, or performance program (for example OEE, MTBF/MTTR, or failure-mode tracking) across multiple machines or sites

Experience mentoring or training other engineers or technicians

• Experience working with machine sensor data or manufacturing analytics (for example SQL, Python, or similar tools)
• Experience with controls systems, PLCs, industrial automation, or machine integration
