Position Purpose/Summary: The Manufacturing Engineer II will lead failure analysis and corrective actions for X-ray tube and high-voltage power supply issues arising during final assembly and final test. This role is responsible for diagnosing both product and equipment-related failures, ensuring rapid resolution to support production continuity on the 3rd shift (graveyard shift, 10:00 pm to 6:00 am). In addition to product-focused root cause analysis, this role will own the troubleshooting, maintenance, and performance optimization of X-ray tube conditioning and final test equipment, including high-voltage, vacuum, and data acquisition systems. This position requires a high degree of autonomy as the primary engineering support during the 3rd shift. Essential Duties: • Lead the failure analysis process for X-ray tube and power supply failures in the final assembly and final test production area. • Identify and confirm root causes using structured methodologies (Fault Tree Analysis, DOE, 8D, etc.). • Troubleshoot, maintain, and repair X-ray tube processing, final test, and other equipment, including: • High-voltage power supplies and control systems. • Vacuum systems (pumps, gauges, seals, leak detection). • Data acquisition and test software interfaces. • Diagnose whether failures are product-related or equipment-induced, and take appropriate corrective actions. • Perform and coordinate corrective and preventive maintenance (PM) on equipment to ensure effective utilization and stability. • Support the 3rd shift production supervisor in resolving real-time production, equipment, and process issues. • Collaborate with maintenance technicians to define repair plans, improve PM procedures, and drive long-term equipment reliability improvements. • Drive equipment-related root cause investigations and implement permanent corrective actions to reduce repeat failures and downtime. • Use data analysis to track and trend product failures, equipment performance, and sources of scrap to identify systemic issues. • Support scrap and yield improvement initiatives through both process and equipment optimization. • Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to implement design-for-reliability and CAPA actions. • Maintain and calibrate test equipment; ensure compliance with safety standards, especially for high-voltage and vacuum systems. • Author clear technical reports, failure summaries, and shift handoff documentation. • Mentor and provide technical guidance to operators and technicians on troubleshooting and equipment use. Key Competencies: To perform the job successfully, the individual should demonstrate the following competencies to perform the essential functions of this position: • Strong analytical skills for correlating data, test results, and physical evidence. • Hands-on troubleshooting capability across electrical, mechanical, and vacuum systems. • Ability to diagnose and repair complex manufacturing/test equipment with limited support. • Strong decision-making and problem-solving skills in a low-support, off-shift environment. • Experience with SPC, DOE, and statistical analysis methods (preferred). • Experience with statistical software such as JMP, R, or Minitab (preferred). • Effective communication skills for cross-shift and cross-functional alignment. Education and Experience: • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Materials Engineering (or equivalent). • 3-5 years of experience in a manufacturing environment performing: • Failure analysis. • Equipment troubleshooting and repair. • Data-driven process improvement. • Hands-on experience maintaining and troubleshooting manufacturing or test equipment. • Experience with high-voltage systems, vacuum systems, or X-ray/e-beam technologies (preferred). • Experience supporting production in an off-shift or high-autonomy environment (preferred).
