Job Overview

As a Sr R&D/Product Development Engineer, you will play a key role in developing, implementing, and verifying the next generation of high reliability temperature sensors for the AD&M market. You will contribute directly to the design, validation, deployment, and support of advanced sensors for LEO (low earth orbit), rockets propulsion systems and commercial aircraft applications.
This role is intended for a fully qualified, experienced professional who can work under general direction, exercise independent judgment, and resolve a broad range of technical issues. The Sr R&D/Product Development Engineer is expected to own project-level analysis and validation deliverables, support customer and internal technical discussions, and help improve working methods within the team.

PLEASE NOTE: This position requires access to information which is subject to stringent controls under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or Export Administration Regulations (EAR).   Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. lawful permanent resident, person granted asylee status in the U.S., or person admitted into the U.S. as a refugee.

Job Requirements

• Design, validate, and characterize components and fully functional temperature sensors.

• Support the temperature sensors portfolio, including working on sustaining activities and cost reduction projects.
• Create 3D designs using CREO or SolidWorks software.
• Create and update 2D drawings using AutoCAD or ZWCAD software.
• Support hands-on testing, debugging, and root cause analysis for issues found during development, validation, qualification, or customer evaluation.
• Work with vendors and suppliers to specify, procure, and validate components, samples, test fixtures, and supporting hardware.
• Prepare clear documentation, test reports, validation summaries, and design data packages to support product development and release. Technical writing is a plus.
• Participate as a core team member on projects and contribute to project-level technology and product decisions.
• Coach or train less experienced engineers and technicians on test methods, data analysis, and simulation workflows as needed.
• Innovate and experiment with new sensing technologies to design the next generations of temperature sensors.
• Collaborate with international teams during NPI to industrialize your design.

What your background should look like
