Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Technician Photon-Counting CT Detectors Position Overview Join a team supporting the manufacture of cutting-edge photon-counting CT detector technology used in advanced medical imaging. As an Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Technician, you will provide hands-on technical support for highly complex detector manufacturing processes. You will work at the intersection of precision manufacturing, electronics, automation, equipment, materials, and data to troubleshoot production issues, investigate defects, and help improve manufacturing reliability. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving challenging technical problems and wants to understand not only what failed, but why it failed and how to prevent it from happening again. Key Responsibilities Troubleshoot complex manufacturing equipment, tooling, fixtures, test systems, and production processes. Investigate detector and assembly defects using structured, evidence-based problem solving. Diagnose mechanical, electrical, electronic, equipment, material, and process-related issues. Analyze manufacturing history, process parameters, equipment data, and test results to identify failure patterns and potential root causes. Support precision assembly, microelectronics, electrical test, inspection, metrology, and automated manufacturing processes. Perform fault isolation using diagnostic tools, controlled testing, and comparison of known-good and suspect assemblies. Partner with Manufacturing Engineering and Quality on root cause investigations, containment, corrective actions, and process improvements. Support equipment setup, qualification, process experiments, technology introduction, and manufacturing improvements. Identify recurring problems and help develop permanent solutions that improve quality, yield, equipment reliability, and manufacturing efficiency. Create clear technical documentation of troubleshooting activities, findings, and corrective actions. Serve as a technical resource to production teams supporting advanced detector manufacturing. Qualifications Required Associate degree in Electronics, Electromechanical Technology, Mechatronics, Automation, Manufacturing Technology, or a related technical field, or equivalent relevant experience. Hands-on experience troubleshooting complex manufacturing equipment, electronics, automated systems, test equipment, or precision manufacturing processes. Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills. Demonstrated ability to systematically isolate problems using data and physical evidence. Ability to interpret technical drawings, schematics, specifications, and manufacturing documentation. Strong attention to detail, technical curiosity, communication, and documentation skills. Preferred Experience in medical device, semiconductor, microelectronics, electronics, sensors, imaging, or other high-precision manufacturing environments. Experience with precision assembly, microelectronics, automated equipment, electrical testing, inspection, or metrology. Familiarity with electrical diagnostic equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, or similar instrumentation. Experience with structured root-cause analysis and corrective-action methodologies. Experience working in a regulated or highly controlled manufacturing environment. Experience using manufacturing data and tools such as Excel, Power BI, SQL, or statistical analysis software to investigate technical problems. Who We're Looking For We are looking for a hands-on technical problem solver who is naturally curious about how complex systems work. The ideal candidate enjoys taking an unfamiliar problem, gathering evidence, systematically narrowing the possible causes, and driving the issue toward a sustainable solution. You will have the opportunity to develop deep expertise in advanced detector manufacturing while helping bring next-generation CT technology to life.
