Electrical Engineer

Summary

Teledyne TapTone is a leading manufacturer of on-line inspection systems for leak and fill level on metal, glass, and flexible containers. TapTone technology was originally introduced by Benthos (now Teledyne Benthos), a company founded in 1962 to provide custom-designed oceanographic products to researchers. Systems employ various technologies to perform quality assurance testing on high-speed food, beverage, dairy, chemical, personal care, and pharmaceutical production lines.

Teledyne TapTone is seeking an Electrical/Embedded Software Engineer to join its engineering team in the design and development of on-line inspection systems. This position will involve engineering support for existing products, customizing equipment for new applications, and new product development. The primary focus revolves around industrial electronics engineering and applications.
