Senior Process Design Technician

About This Role

As a Senior Process Design Technician, you will collaborate with engineers to design, evaluate, and implement custom mechanical components and equipment solutions for manufacturing process advancements. Your focus will be on ensuring manufacturable, reliable, and cost-effective solutions.

Responsibilities

• Lead or support the design and development of components, fixtures, and manufacturing equipment for process validation and production environments
• Partner with engineers to perform detailed experiments, analyze data, compile technical reports, and iterate on designs for optimized performance and manufacturability
• Document and communicate engineering learnings, providing clear design documentation and training for manufacturing transfer
• Drive and support prototype equipment and fixture development, including mechanical layout, CAD modeling, build supervision, and hands-on assembly/evaluation
• Collaborate with project teams to conceptualize, design, model (CAD), and validate new components, tools, and assembly equipment
• Lead or support hands-on configuration, modification, and troubleshooting of lab-based and prototype equipment and fixturing
• Execute experimental setups for mechanical apparatus and measurement systems, collect and analyze test data, and provide thorough design and process test reports
• Develop and maintain clear, detailed component drawings, bills of materials, and equipment manuals
• Participate in the design, build, and iterative improvement of custom fixtures, tools, and test equipment
• Support troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and corrective action efforts related to equipment and component issues

Requirements

• Associate degree in a technical discipline or military equivalent OR 2+ years’ experience in an experimental laboratory or manufacturing environment with hands-on/design/CAD exposure
• Demonstrated experience with mechanical component and equipment design, including GD&T and tolerancing
• CAD proficiency (SolidWorks and/or Creo preferred) for designing components, tooling, and complex assemblies
• Strong mechanical aptitude and “hands-on” skills for rapid prototyping, component assembly, and equipment troubleshooting
• Familiarity with a range of mechanical and measurement tools (calipers, drills, etc.)
• Strong project teamwork, communication, and documentation skills within cross-functional, multi-site/global teams

Qualifications

• Associate degree in a technical discipline or military equivalent
• 2+ years’ experience in an experimental laboratory or manufacturing environment, with significant hands-on and/or design/CAD exposure

Nice to Have

• Experience in manufacturing equipment or custom fixture design for production
• Knowledge of process validation, SPC/data analysis tools (Excel, JMP, Minitab)
• Practical judgment and analytical thinking to balance performance, cost, and manufacturability
