Fluidics Engineer

Description

Description:

Fluidics Engineer

Location: Northyards, Atlanta Office - everyday

Our engineering team develops the pumps, valves, tubing, fittings, sensors, and control algorithms for futuristic beverage dispensers. We are looking for engineers with broad, cross-functional skills and a hands-on focus to build automated test systems for design verification and analysis of these components in our lab.

Required Experience (5+ Years)

Hard skills:

• Experience in design & fabrication of custom electric control panels for industrial test systems.
• Experience using National Instruments hardware like CompactRIO for control system development.
• General fluid dynamics knowledge (i.e.: pressure-flow analysis, control valves, pumping technologies)
• Product modeling and detailed drawings in CADD software (Creo preferred)
• Engineering Change Management experience (Windchill preferred)
• General knowledge of various engineering disciplines (i.e.: software, mechanical structures, circuits)
• Statistics and Analysis of experimental data

Soft skills:

• Communicating complex technical situations in an understandable way
• Developing, applying and setting an example following policy and process for design consistency.
• Assessing project scope and determining resources required to achieve project goals
• Managing groups to achieve technical goals

Preferred Qualifications:

• Stage-gate development process to cascade top level project requirements to lower level subsystem and component specifications.
• Software algorithm development (MATLAB, Python, C, etc.).
• Disciplined problem-solving skills using DMAIC/8D/A3 or similar methodology
• Fluidics experience: Understanding of concepts, practices, and theories used in the design of fluidic circuits, including pumping technologies, nozzles, and flow through tubes and valves.

Quality Planning Disciplines:

• Experience in applying DFSS (Design for Six Sigma) tools (DFMEA, Design Verification Planning, etc.) to optimize quality and reliability of the product.
• Understands and applies reliability, serviceability and sustainability engineering principles and concepts to meet project objectives.
• Understands sources of variation and develops designs that are robust to these variations.
• Support for PFMEA and process design
• Design for Manufacturing
• Experience in collaborating with supplier organizations to ensure the design is manufacturable within project goals.
• Experience in technical management of suppliers. Develops and applies metrics to supplier partners as needed. Finds win/win scenarios when working with supplier partners.

Education:

• BSEE, BSME, BS Aerospace Engineering, or BS Mechatronics Engineering from ABET-accredited engineering program.
