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.

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.
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.
