Our customers come from a variety of industries, including semiconductor packaging, component manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and traditional non-destructive testing.

POSITION OVERVIEW

SONIX seeks an experienced Electromechanical Engineer to design the next generation of its scanning acoustic microscope products and explore emerging technologies to meet the evolving needs of its diverse customer base.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, designing and implementing new product platforms from proof of concept through production release, encompassing all aspects of product design. The successful candidate will be expected to exercise a high degree of creativity in developing innovative designs and creating proofs of concept to address complex engineering challenges.

In addition to developing new products, the engineer will support our global service team in sustaining engineering activities, including troubleshooting and resolving issues that arise in the field.

The engineer will work closely with multiple teams, including internal and external partners.

The position offers opportunities for domestic and international travel to meet with vendors and customers, collaborate on the design and development of next-generation solutions, and gather valuable feedback.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Leverage extensive electrical engineering and system design experience to design, rapidly prototype, and develop comprehensive electrical systems for new product platforms. Demonstrate the ability to create electrical schematics and wiring diagrams that support system designs and apply manufacturing techniques to transform concepts into production-ready solutions.
• Build systems that integrate multiple engineering disciplines, including electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and fluid dynamics, and incorporate the safety systems needed to meet relevant certification requirements.
• Leverage knowledge of industrial sensors, including motion and environmental sensors, as well as transducer interface and implementation, to support electrical designs that deliver the necessary performance, accuracy, and repeatability to ensure product reliability and robustness.
• Lead and facilitate cross-functional meetings to brainstorm creative solutions, troubleshoot problems, and ensure projects remain on track.
• Report project status to the management team regularly, identify risks and issues that may impact schedules, and suggest countermeasures to ensure project timelines are maintained.
• Visit customers to gain insight into how our tools are used and learn how they can be improved to meet and exceed customer expectations, both now and in the future.
• Support full product lifecycle management, including responsibility for transitioning products from engineering to production and service to support them as standard products.
• Manage system certifications to ensure systems are engineered to meet safety guidelines relevant to the markets and countries in which we sell, as well as conformance to ISO standards.
• Ensure release and project documentation is current, complete, and located in the appropriate repository.
• Train production and field service personnel to ensure support for new product platforms and features.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

• Minimum of 7 years of engineering experience in a highly technical environment, with a background in industrial electronics circuit design related to EMI/EMC, automation, water, air, and vacuum systems.
• Experience designing semiconductor equipment is a strong plus.
• Experience designing equipment to operate in a cleanroom environment is a strong plus.
• Master’s degree or PhD in Engineering preferred.
• Experience using PSPICE and electrical CAD design tools, including KiCAD, OrCAD, Allegro, Altium, or similar.
• Experience in embedded software and PLC programming based on microcontrollers.
• Experience designing IO controllers using STM, TI, or Arduino microcontrollers.
• Experience with serial communications such as CAN, RS422, RS485, I2C, and SPI.
• Experience with industrial measurement equipment such as DAQ systems, oscilloscopes, and National Instruments devices.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Experience in technical project management, including maintaining schedules and interfacing with cross-functional team members throughout the project lifecycle, is a plus.
• Strong time management and organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Strong commitment to quality, attention to detail, and a proven ability to meet deadlines.
