The role is responsible for design, development, fabrication, validation, installation, support, and troubleshooting of production test equipment and programs. The engineer is a coach, mentor, and role model, fostering personal growth through collaboration.
Essential Functions
Provide guidelines for the design and selection of test equipment, testing protocols, test data collection programs, and best practices.
Support, service, and troubleshoot test equipment and electrical systems within the plant.
Develop test equipment specifications ensuring compliance with electrical safe work practices and OSHA requirements. Identify potential safety hazards and contribute to remediation processes, ensuring equipment functionality meets required specifications.
Enforce safety expectations, document and communicate hazards and unsafe conditions to promote a zero-incident culture and product conformance with electrical safety and quality standards.
Work with manufacturing, mesh, manufacturing engineering, quality, product design engineering, suppliers, and customers as needed.
Perform root cause and failure analysis. Apply critical thinking and problem‑solving skills to provide specified cost, quality, and performance in a safe and efficient manner. Teach others in critical thinking and problem solving.
Guide and instruct the capital equipment selection process. Develop and evaluate Capital Appropriation Requests (CAR’s) for major new product or process programs and initiatives related testing/controls.
Act as a category lead or champion during an assessment process.
Lead/co‑lead cost‑out initiatives and promote a culture of continuous improvement. Collaborate with teams that leverage Lean and/or Six Sigma tools to solve problems within manufacturing. Drive initiatives closure and monitor associated metrics. Participate in Continuous Improvement Kaizens/BPIs as appropriate for the facility.
Leverage advanced technology and innovation to improve the use and effectiveness of information systems for testing/controls.
Seek opportunities to eliminate waste associated with the flow of factory floor test information. Lead projects, develop project goals, budgets, and work breakdown structures. Proactively align cross‑functional resources such as Production, Quality, EHS, Maintenance, Engineering, and contractors/vendors to ensure project goals are met. Develop and execute communication plans among project/program working groups, associated leadership teams, and other stakeholders.
Execute sustained change management as it applies to processes within manufacturing operations. Utilize change management techniques such as ADKAR effectively to drive and sustain process improvements and usage of MOC (management of change) process.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's Degree in Engineering/Computers/Math/Science from an accredited institution.
Minimum 3 years of test/controls engineering experience.
Must be legally authorized to work in the US without company sponsorship.
Experience in many computer programming software such as Visual Basic/Studio, SQL, and other Microsoft applications.
Rockwell Software (RS and Factory Talk).
NI LabVIEW and NI TestStand.
Experience with PLC, HMI programming and safety systems design.
Preferred Qualifications
+5 years of Controls/Test engineering experience.
Understanding of problem‑solving methodologies used in determining root cause and formulating corrective action(s) – i.e., thought maps, 8D, root cause analysis, Process Failure Mode Effect Analysis, control charts, Pareto charts, A3s, etc.
Experience in electrical testing procedures and protocols.
Fundamental knowledge of electrical equipment at component and integrated system levels.
Demonstrated ability to interpret regulation and standards, and implement Electrical Safe Work practices such as NFPA 70E.
Demonstrated ability to interpret and troubleshoot electrical control, protection, instrumentation, and metering schematics and wiring diagrams.
Experience supporting Engineered to Order (ETO) manufacturing plant.
Demonstrated ability to work with little direction and effectively operate in a team‑oriented environment.
Ability to assist manufacturing operations and product designers/engineering personnel to solve electrical design and build production issues.
Ability to interpret, suggest and resolve equipment or installation issues with multiple and varied electrical contractors.
