  geometry, creating assemblies and creating detailed manufacturing drawings
• Comfortable operating machine shop, measurement, and test equipment
• Mechanical design and exploration skills, including statics, dynamics, and strength of
  materials, including stress analysis, fatigue, and thermal
• Experience in integration of mechatronics components such as sensors, motors,
  pneumatics, and motion and vision control components.
• Experience troubleshooting and repair of manufacturing equipment.
• Experience developing equipment qualification, calibration and PM procedures and practices.

Required Education and Training

• Minimum BSME Mechanical or Mechatronics engineering with minimum of 5 years related experience.
• Experience with enterprise software (e.g. Agile document control, Confluence, Polarion, Windchill, etc)
• Prior experience working with PLM systems (Agile preferred), SAP applications, including ECO creation, origination of equipment specification, test protocols, BOM, and work instructions.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Excellent understanding of tolerance analysis and statistical methods. Fluency in ASME Y14.5 GD&T and tolerance stack analysis
• MSME (or equivalent) with minimum 6 plus years prior experience.
• Structured Problem Solving. Rational thinking and root cause analysis capability.
•  Experience working in a medical device or other regulated quality systems.
