- Identify and resolve discrepancies in manufacturing procedures, drawings, bills of materials, routers, and work instructions.
- Conduct technology and patent evaluations, submit invention disclosures when appropriate, and drive continuous product improvements.
- Support other departments, vendor and sub-supplier evaluations, product or technology transfer, field testing, and on-site problem solving, including occasional travel to Germany and customer locations.
What do we expect from you?
You:
- Hold a bachelor's degree in chemistry, materials science, engineering, or a related field; a master's degree or PhD is preferred.
- Bring at least five years of experience in electrochemical sensor development, engineering, and manufacturing; experience in electrochemistry and materials characterization & testing is preferred.
- Possess solid knowledge of electrochemical measurement principles, sensor design, chemistry, electrochemistry, and applicable standards.
- Are proficient in experimental design, data processing, data analysis, materials characterization and testing, and technical presentation.
- Understand laboratory and materials testing requirements, chemical hazards and safety procedures, equipment calibration and maintenance, and sensor production troubleshooting.
- Apply project management best practices and demonstrate strong execution when leading cross-functional teams.
- Understand mechanical design principles and can collaborate with mechanical engineers to translate concepts into detailed designs.
- Communicate effectively in English, work well across teams, use Microsoft Office applications proficiently, and can occasionally lift and carry up to 35 lbs independently.
What can you expect from us?
- Family-owned, highly committed global company with a sustainable vision of the future.
