Join our mission to revolutionize aerospace and automotive manufacturing through advanced Additive Manufacturing. As a Senior Equipment Engineer (Electrical), you will play a crucial role in transitioning next-generation Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) production equipment from development to high-volume manufacturing. You will be responsible for ensuring the stability, reliability, scalability, and performance of our production equipment. This role requires strong troubleshooting skills, independent technical judgment, and a drive for growth. You will work closely with senior equipment engineers, mentor technicians and peers, and contribute to various areas of equipment engineering.
Responsibilities
- Assurer la transition des équipements de production de fabrication additive de la phase de développement à la fabrication à grande échelle.
- Stabiliser les nouvelles machines, améliorer la fiabilité et établir les normes qui porteront la flotte à mesure qu'elle se développe.
- Prendre en charge les problèmes techniques et les projets liés à l'équipement assigné, définir l'approche et les normes pour les défis techniques récurrents.
- 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 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
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline
- Strong analytical and data-driven decision-making skills, including finding problems in large datasets and not only responding to reported failures
- Strong electrical troubleshooting skill on production equipment (for example power, control circuits, sensors, and instrumentation), including reading schematics and one-line diagrams, with working knowledge of mechanical systems sufficient to troubleshoot alongside mechanical engineers
- Ability to lawfully access information and technology that is subject to US export controls
- 6+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, equipment engineering, reliability engineering, or advanced production environments
- Experience writing or standardizing work instructions that enabled a Service or Operations team to work more independently
- Experience with a configuration management or engineering change process
- Experience working with machine sensor data or manufacturing analytics (for example SQL, Python, or similar tools)
- Knowledge of AS9100, AMS, PPAP, APQP, or equivalent quality systems
Preferred
Experience mentoring or training other engineers or technicians
- Experience with Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) or other metal additive manufacturing technologies
- Experience with electrical subsystems common to L-PBF and similar equipment, such as laser and high-power systems, heaters, motion drives, sensors and data acquisition (DAQ), or safety interlocks
- Experience with electrical safety practices (for example NFPA 70E and LOTO)
- 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 with controls systems, PLCs, industrial automation, or machine integration
- Experience supporting capital equipment installation, commissioning, or factory expansion
