What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Mechanical Engineer - Product Improvement position at EHR SERVICES LLC?
EHR Services has partnered with Covaris, LLC to hire a Senior Mechanical Engineer - Product Improvement.
Summary : We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer - Product Improvement with a strong engineering and problem-resolution background to implement product improvements to our core technologies for laboratory instruments. You will work on sustaining engineering projects in all stages, from root cause analysis and problem resolution definition to design through implementation and performance monitoring. The goal is to excel in product support, customer-focused design, and manufacturing acoustics-based laboratory instruments.
Our instruments are complex systems with electromechanical, fluidic, thermal, optical, and acoustic sub-systems. Our plastic consumables are engineered for high performance in harsh acoustic environments. Fabrication methods range from machining to injection molding, depending on the components' functional requirements. Our product portfolio also features hardware accessories to increase the level of laboratory automation for workflow solutions that include our AFA instruments.
You will be the primary point engineer for the sustaining projects working with other engineers from manufacturing and quality departments to manage implementation of solution-based designs into the manufacturing environment. Responsibilities include analysis, planning, designing and testing to ensure solutions meet functional and performance requirements for our customers. This is predominantly an on-site position in Woburn, MA. Occasional remote work is OK with supervisor approval.
Responsibilities :
- Work as technical lead on cross-functional teams to isolate challenges and identify opportunities to improve design and manufacturing of sophisticated ultrasound-based instrumentation and HW accessories for laboratory automation.
- Use root cause analysis techniques to isolate issues and identify solutions for improving workflow, cost, manufacturability, performance or address individual customer needs as they arise.
- Use SolidWorks to design and document mechanical components and assemblies for instrumentation and HW accessories.
- Develop physical and functional testing along with calculation, tolerance analyses and simulation (FEA, CFD), to ensure that the product design meets all requirements (functional, cost, ergonomic, material compatibility, etc).
- Create DOEs and test plans and execute them to generate data for solution implementation evaluation and verification of problem resolution.
- Hold cross-functional reviews, document design solutions, test plans, verification reports, and other supporting documentation needed to fulfill process and change-order requirements.
- Work with the manufacturing team in managing external vendors to ensure high-quality, reproducible components delivered to design specifications.
- Work closely with the quality assurance department to ensure print specifications are inspectable and provide support on quality inspection procedures; update prints as needed to reflect design intent in a manner that is measurable, repeatable, and controlled
- Execute change orders in our eQMS system.
- Prepare reports and presentations for different levels (engineers to executive management).
- Assess recommended design, test, and process solutions for added or residual risk per risk management controls procedures using FMEA
- Ensure designs align with applicable ANSI, ASME, and SBS standards.
