Measurements Engineer

About the role

The Measurements Engineer will develop new manufacturing processes, technologies, and methods, primarily focused on measurement systems and their integration into the production process flow. This role involves creation and extraction of information from images, development and modification of imaging technologies for the measurement system, and combining image processing with machine hardware knowledge to optimize measurement performance.

Responsibilities

• Manage highly complex tasks with many variables and stakeholders across multiple functions/facilities
• Support and maintain measurement equipment and systems in the plant
• Drive continuous improvements to existing manufacturing measurement systems through improved measurement system interfaces and implementing process automation where applicable
• Identify potential solutions to system level problem statements and develop novel approaches to solve complex problems
• Lead cross-functional work-stream project teams to support process improvements through measurement software and hardware upgrades
• Perform project management and documentation activities
• Provide progress reports to key stakeholders and organizational leadership
• Utilize statistical tools, engineering data, and DMAIC/DESIGN/LEAN/MEE methodologies to develop process understanding to support robust manufacturing processes and measurement systems
• Develop and execute Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), Gauge R&R studies, design of experiments (DOE) and data analysis to identify opportunities and implement improvements to the measurement systems or production process
• Create/update documentation for release to production including operating procedures, PM and troubleshooting
• Train engineering, maintenance and operations personnel on how to use and maintain plant measurement systems
• Develop knowledge and capability related to measurement systems used in the plant, along with commercially available measurement systems and other applicable technologies

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Mechatronic, Imaging Science, Computer Science, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, Physics or Mathematics
• 1 or more years working in a similar position (e.g.: as a Test Equipment Engineer) in a manufacturing environment (can include internships and/or co-op experience)
• Minimum of 1+ years of experience in System development, system integration, software system development; experience in Software Optics or vision-based design and implementation (can include internships and/or co-op experience)
• Experience in software development (e.g. Mat lab, C++, VB.Net, image analysis, data analysis)
• Background in computer programs like C#, VB.net, Lab view, Wit, C++ etc.
• Experience using software that efficiently analyzes large data sets
• Knowledge of electrical/optical/mechanical installations, including system checkout and troubleshooting
• Some exposure to electrical/controls, instrumentation (e.g. sensors) and vision systems technologies
• Experience debugging and bringing to production controls/vision systems
• Some exposure in optical theory, image capture, lighting, cameras, 3rd party imaging tools, image processing and visualization techniques
• Problem solving skills with hands-on approach
• Basic project management skills (e.g. scoping, budgeting, timelines etc.)

Skills

• Six sigma Green Belt / Black Belt certification
• Course work or experience with using tools such as Solid works, Cero Parametric etc.
• Some exposure to high powered laser systems
• Some exposure to precision optical systems
• Experience with image analysis (vision measurement systems)
• Communication and presentation skills
• Organizational skills
• Knowledge of at least one of these modern web-based UI development tools such as: Ruby/Rails, PHP, ASP.NET, HTML/DHTML, XML/XSL, CSS, JavaScript
