Job Description

This position will support the production processes of the MTR membrane element manufacturing organization. It will develop, implement, and continually improve the manufacturing equipment and processes used for manufacturing membranes and modules. This includes assessing a project through root cause analysis if necessary, brainstorming solutions and selecting the best option. This position will submit a detailed design and cost proposal, fabricate components (or have them fabricated), and implement the final solution into production equipment, following through with testing and documentation/training of manufacturing operators. The Manufacturing Engineer will be responsible for entire projects on roll-to-roll web handling and assembly-type production equipment, including the electromechanical function and design of control circuits, PLC programming, and instrumentation associated with that equipment.

Responsibilities

Work with equipment operators to determine issues and opportunities for improvement, design and implement solutions to problems following Change Management protocol and documentation requirements, read and create electrical one-line drawings, fabrication/assembly drawings, and Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs). This position will utilize simulation (FEA) to evaluate designs, prepare manufacturing documentation and train operators on new and old processes/equipment as necessary. Prepare presentations and summaries of projects and experiments to document progress and communicate results, assist in the development and maintenance of, and compliance to, engineering standards for manufacturing areas, liaise with R&D to support efforts on the development of new processes and product scale-ups, work with regulatory bodies to ensure safety, environmental, and design standards are met for manufacturing processes, especially Class 1 Division 2 Flammable Environment explosion proof equipment requirements.

Experience

BS in an Engineering discipline with a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience in a related field. Capable of supervising other engineers (technical leadership and project prioritization), final responsibility for training of temporary and regular employees involved in production experiments and tests. Demonstrable knowledge of mechanical, manufacturing, and process engineering principles, standards, and practices, working knowledge of a wide range of manufacturing technologies, including standard assembly operations, roll-to-roll material handling, and coating/drying operation. Excel in 3D Modeling and Simulation (SolidWorks & Solid Works FEA Simulation or similar, able to produce 2D fabrication drawings with valid tolerancing.

Salary Range

Salary ranges for MTR positions are dependent on the level of education and number of years of relevant experience the candidate has, and what other MTR employees in similar positions with a similar skill set are earning. We estimate the range for this position to be between $101,700 and $155,000.
