Job Description

Job Summary:

The Process Development Engineer is responsible for developing and optimizing manufacturing processes to support new and existing product lines. This role focuses on identifying and implementing capacity improvement opportunities, conducting yield analysis, and leading yield improvement initiatives. The engineer defines equipment requirements and specifications, and evaluates processing techniques used in the manufacture, fabrication, and testing of products. Engagement may begin at any stage—from pre-production through full-scale manufacturing.

Under general direction, the engineer supports Uncooled IR Camera Assembly and Calibration Operations, developing and maintaining methods, sequences, and processes for manufacturing, components, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies. The role interfaces with design and systems engineering to coordinate the release of new products, estimates manufacturing costs, establishes time standards, and recommends tooling and process requirements for both new and existing product lines. It also includes maintaining documentation and reporting systems for manufacturing operations.

This is a highly independent role with significant organizational impact, requiring data-driven decision-making to support operational success and company growth.

Primary Duties & Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to review product and equipment designs for Design for Manufacturability (DFM).
• Continuously improve overall manufacturing efficiency through the development of new techniques and by incorporating feedback from assembly personnel and the Manufacturing team.
• Identify and implement product design changes that enhance manufacturability, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
• Provide support across all stages of the production process, from Receiving Inspection through final shipment.
• Define and develop production equipment solutions for both low- and high-volume manufacturing environments.
• Lead initiatives to evaluate and integrate new concepts, automation technologies, and innovative approaches for process development and improvement.
• Create detailed Assembly and Test Instructions for the production of infrared (IR) camera systems.
• Specify and/or design tooling and assembly methods to optimize production floor operations.
• Compile and analyze test data to establish process parameters and material specifications.
• Implement Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to improve product traceability and process control.
• Generate rework instructions for non-conforming materials to ensure quality and minimize waste.

Job Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
• Solid understanding of manufacturing processes and workflows.
• Familiarity with Statistical Process Control (SPC) and process capability analysis.
• Familiarity with Gauge Studies and Measurement System Analysis (MSA).
• Familiarity with calibration processes and industry standards.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with flexibility to support tasks beyond the Quality department as needed.
• Willingness to travel 5–10% to supplier or customer locations.
• Working knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and datum structures.
• Knowledge of ISO standards, including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
• Familiarity with metrology and inspection methods, including contact and optical CMMs, handheld tools, and electronic test instruments.
• Knowledge of audit processes and requirements.
• Awareness of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) controls and best practices.
• Familiarity with Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Applicants must be either a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, legal permanent resident, asylee, refugee or must be eligible to apply for and obtain the appropriate export control license from the U.S. Departments of State or Commerce.
