Location: Boston metro
Job Description
This position evaluates stresses, strains and failures.
• Perform mechanical design of scroll pumps and/or related products using
various computer tools to achieve overall design goals for product
performance, cost and schedule. This includes spatial layout of system
packaging and integration of electronic, electrical, and mechanical
components and controls.
• Design mechanical components and assemblies to meet specifications for
size performance, cost, helium and vacuum integrity, product lifetime and
schedule.
• Perform stress, thermal, and vacuum analysis using computer simulations
and hand calculations. Collaborate with consulting experts for
design-specific problems such as ion optics and mold flow of plastics.
• Perform laboratory testing on prototype systems and sub-systems. Develop
written test plans, design and assemble test equipment, perform testing
and/or direct the work of a technician to perform testing, correlate and
plot data, generate a written engineering report to document the goals,
procedure, data, results and conclusions. Direct the work of engineering
technicians and junior engineers to perform lab testing using computer data
acquisition systems, and document test results.
• Work with Production and Service to troubleshoot problems that arise in
production and participate in developing solutions. Generate and implement
ECOs and write procedures to resolve those issues.
• Collaborate with the Manufacturing Department and outside suppliers
worldwide to develop cost-effective Lean Manufacturing processes and supply
chain improvements.
• Support Production, Service and Applications Engineers to sustain
excellent performance in the field and achieve goals for product yield in
the factory. Write procedures, perform training, and consult for problem
solving.
• Work with Marketing Segment Manager to gather Alpha and Beta site data.
Write verification and validation report.

• Minimum of 9 years experience in the design and development of
electro-mechanical systems. Experience designing rotating machinery is
desirable.
• Extensive knowledge of mechanical systems design and machine design
including stress, thermal and vacuum systems analysis.
• Knowledge of vacuum technology is strongly preferred. Ability to operate,
calibrate, maintain and troubleshoot vacuum systems. Ability to perform
vacuum system engineering analysis including calculation of gas conductance,
pump speed, pressure, and gas throughput.
• High degree of competence using SolidWorks or similar solids-modeling
engineering software. Competence utilizing CosmosWorks or equivalent
software for thermal, stress analysis.
• Strong analytical ability to perform computations with reasonable speed
and accuracy.
• Thorough understanding of material properties and experience selecting
engineering materials for a range of applications including structural and
vacuum applications.
• Extensive knowledge of manufacturing processes such as machining, welding,
brazing, & mechanical assembly. Understanding of dimensional tolerances and
surface finishes achievable with various manufacturing technologies. Ability
to perform tolerance analysis for a complex mechanical system.
• Knowledge of product specific technologies may include gas dynamics, high
vacuum technology including materials, hardware and appropriate
manufacturing processes.
• Ability to perform general work in the engineering laboratory such as
assembly of bench test systems, recording data using computer data
acquisition systems.
• Sufficient understanding of electronics and electrical systems to interact
with electrical engineers in the integration of complex electro-mechanical
assemblies.
