Required Advanced Manufacturing Engineer
Job Description
Role Summary
The Advanced Manufacturing Engineer (AME) is responsible for industrializing and sustaining complex PET and SPECT imaging products at a high‑complexity electromechanical manufacturing site. The AME ensures robust manufacturability of high‑level mechanical assemblies, electronics integration, wiring, detector modules, motion systems, and system‑level testing. The role drives process development, tooling, validation, DFM/DFA, quality improvement, and readiness for production and NPIs.
NPI Leadership for PET & SPECT Imaging Systems
Lead manufacturing readiness for new PET/SPECT products, including process layout, tooling development, and new equipment introduction.
Participate in design reviews and influence DFM/DFA/DFT across mechanical assemblies, detector modules, power systems, wiring harnesses, and electromechanical subsystems.
Translate design intent into controlled, stable manufacturing processes.
Coordinate ECO implementation and ensure smooth manufacturing release.
Assembly Process Development & Optimization
Develop robust assembly processes for mechanical and electronic integration, alignment, torque control, and detector installation.
Define and design manufacturing jigs, tools, fixtures, and lifting/handling solutions required for large subsystems.
Lead design/manufacture of equipment, tooling, and jigs internally or via suppliers to eliminate defects.
Drive LEAN manufacturing implementation and support continuous improvement.
Conduct PFMEA for existing and new processes.
Quality & Problem Solving
Drive product quality improvements by identifying manufacturing issues and implementing cost‑effective solutions.
Work with Production Associates to resolve manufacturing and quality problems.
Oversee corrective action implementation in production or suppliers.
Support RCA through structured failure analysis.
System Integration & Testing Support
Support integration/testing of assembled PET/SPECT systems including calibration, alignment, motion validation, detector gain calibration, and safety checks.
Work with System Engineering to define test protocols and acceptance criteria.
Troubleshoot system issues related to electromechanical assemblies.
Validation & Regulatory Compliance
Own IQ/OQ/PQ for equipment, tools, and manufacturing processes.
Ensure compliance with ISO 13485, ISO 14971, 21 CFR 820, IEC 60601, and internal QMS requirements.
Maintain strong documentation practices including control plans, validation protocols, and DHR/DMR accuracy.
Ensure traceability for critical parameters, torques, and calibration data.
Supplier & Cross‑Functional CollaborationCollaborate with suppliers of mechanical assemblies, detector modules, wiring harnesses, and PCBs.
Lead technical discussions with suppliers for tooling, process capability, and quality issues.
Train and qualify production and supplier teams on processes and inspection/assembly methods.
EHS & Plant Compliance
Lead and support Environment, Health & Safety efforts aligned with site goals.
Ensure safe handling of large assemblies, HV systems, and radiation‑related components.

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer you will play a key role in designing, developing, and supporting global products throughout their lifecycle. This position requires strong technical expertise, collaboration skills, and a hands-on approach to ensure product reliability, cost efficiency, and manufacturability. You will have the opportunity to influence innovative designs and advanced manufacturing processes in a global Hi-Tech environment.

Key Responsibilities

Product Design & Development
Design and redesign mechanical components (plastic, sheet metal, rubber, etc.), ensuring optimal material selection, structural integrity, and manufacturability. Prepare and lead design reviews, provide technical input, and actively contribute to the continuous improvement of design processes and methodologies. Apply advanced technologies such as 3D printing, injection molding, compression molding, laser and ultrasonic welding, and sheet metal forming to meet cost, reliability, and production targets.

New Product Introduction (NPI)
Lead all mechanical aspects of NPI, including integration of new machines into production lines and implementation of advanced manufacturing technologies (e.g., laser welding, leak detection, automation).

Lifecycle Management & Sustaining Engineering
Plan and execute mechanical tasks across all product lifecycle stages. Support sustaining activities such as mold production, reliability improvements, ECO implementation, and troubleshooting.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with global R&D teams and stakeholders (Engineering, Operations, sister companies, external manufacturers) to ensure seamless integration and successful project execution.

Testing, Validation & Prototyping
Conduct design verification tests (DVT), perform prototyping, and carry out empirical analyses to ensure compliance with quality, reliability, assembly, and regulatory standards. Document and communicate results effectively to stakeholders.

Data Analysis & Optimization
Use statistical tools (e.g., Minitab, Excel) to analyze performance data and drive quality and reliability improvements.

Production Support & Optimization
Provide mechanical support to global manufacturing sites by resolving production challenges, troubleshooting issues, and implementing solutions to ensure smooth operations and continuous improvement.

Advanced Manufacturing Technologies
Gain hands-on experience with processes such as 3D printing, laser and ultrasonic welding, laser marking, design for assembly, and joining technologies (clips, snap fits).
