Mfg. Support Engineer - Test, Automation & Instrumentation

We are seeking a hands-on Manufacturing Support Engineer to support manufacturing, testing, calibration, and automation activities for high-temperature thermocouples (T/C), resistive temperature detectors (RTD), and electrical harnesses.

This role will work closely with manufacturing, quality, engineering, and laboratory personnel to ensure test and production equipment is reliable, accurate, and capable of meeting customer and quality requirements. A significant portion of the role will involve supporting a high-temperature instrument calibration lab operating, integrating and troubleshooting automated electrical test equipment, and developing software used to automate manufacturing and testing processes.

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys being hands-on, solving problems, working with equipment and people, and writing software to make manufacturing and testing processes more efficient and repeatable.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the operation, troubleshooting, improvement, and maintenance of a high-temperature instrument production and calibration testing databases.
• Develop, maintain, and improve calibration and test processes in accordance with IEC, ASTM, IEC/ISO17025, or AMS2750 standards, including measurement accuracy, traceability, documentation, and uncertainty considerations.
• Troubleshoot test equipment, instrumentation, sensors, electrical systems, software, and automated manufacturing equipment.
• Support the integration of automation equipment, instrumentation, PLCs/controllers, data acquisition systems, and production test systems.
• Program, configure, and maintain manual and automated electrical cable/harness testers, including development and modification of test programs and reports.
• Develop and maintain applications, scripts, and interfaces used for manufacturing and lab operations.
• Create, train and maintain engineering documentation, work instructions, test procedures, software documentation, and equipment records.
• Support root-cause/corrective actions related to manufacturing, testing, calibration, and equipment performance.
• Work with Product, Quality and Manufacturing Engineering to ensure test processes meet applicable specifications and quality requirements.
• Assist with equipment qualification, calibration, PM, and troubleshooting.
• Participate in continuous improvement and capitol initiatives involving automation, test efficiency, quality, safety, and manufacturing processes.
