Manufacturing Engineer I/Design Engineer I

PCB Piezotronics, Inc. is a global leader in the manufacture of piezoelectric and strain gauge sensors. The success of PCB is in our people. It is our philosophy to hire good people and support them in doing their job. PCB’s Management is committed to providing a friendly, supportive and challenging work environment. At PCB we operate on a first name basis with a full open door policy. The Company’s pleasant working conditions, world-class benefits package and opportunities for advancement create a spirit of enthusiasm that provides PCB with a competitive edge.

Basic Function:

Follow all PCB procedures and forms in compliance to ISO 9001.

Utilizes education, experience and technical knowledge to provide support and training with regard to assembly methods, tests, procedures, etc. Works closely with production technicians, product design engineers, and management to understand and improve manufacturing processes and product designs. Works under moderate supervision. Works with production to resolve issues in the short term to allow us to satisfy immediate customer demand, as well as learning how longer term “continuous improvement projects” are conducted in order to implement irreversible corrective actions. Requires training on PCB products and technology. Significant interaction with Sales, Manufacturing Technicians, and other Engineers is required.

Role and Responsibilities:

Promotes teamwork, cooperation and commitment to

“Total Customer Satisfaction” among team members.

1. Works with more experienced engineers and technicians to learn basic sensor technology, manufacturing processes, test methods, departmental procedures and policies.
2. Works with other engineers and technicians to provide support and training with regard to assembly methods, test procedures, ISO 9001 documentation, production equipment, company policies/procedures, etc.
3. Utilizes PCB’s 3-d modeling software to modify designs, modifies written procedures, Bill of Materials, and routers to improve manufacturing process.
4. Works with design engineers and production technicians to coordinate the timely transfer of new products to production. This will include helping to design fixtures, helping writing procedures and discussing “lessons learned” from current products.
5. Learns how to conduct continuous improvement projects on current quality or cost related manufacturing issues.
6. Utilizes test equipment to test products and maintains a working knowledge of applicable calibration methods.
7. Learns special cause failures vs. common cause failures.
8. Ability to prioritize work.
9. Conducts failure analyses of rejects from manufacturing or customers
10. Learns statistical process control techniques and error proofing hierarchy to implement irreversible Corrective Actions, and Preventative Actions.
11. Researches, analyzes and studies existing products, systems, subsystems, test equipment and processes to improve performance, reliability, quality and cost.
12. Works with engineers and production technicians to improve production efficiencies.
13. Learns how to test and calibrate products. Gains experience with test equipment and processes.
14. Performs other related duties as required for the efficient operation of the Engineering Department and PCB as a whole.

Qualifications:

BS in Engineering, or five years of equivalent experience. Basic computer skills, Microsoft Office software, 3-D modeling software, LEAN Training, Design of Experiments, Error Proofing.
