The Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) mechanical engineering team is looking to hire a Mechanical Engineer. This position will support instruments such as the Single Quadrupole (SQ) and Triple Quadrupole (QQQ) mass spectrometer systems. As a Manufacturing Engineer in the Gas Phase Division, your primary challenges will include the technical support, process implementation, and improvement of Agilent's instruments, sub-assemblies, and related products. You will be responsible for providing manufacturing support which includes failure analysis, assembly specification, yield enhancements, cost improvements, and tool/fixture design.

You will also work directly with the R&D engineering teams on new product introductions from the development of prototypes through pilot runs and product qualifications before releasing the product to the manufacturing team. Your responsibilities include involvement in the proposal and evaluation stage with R&D, participation in design reviews, design validation that may include completion of design; development of test processes including algorithm design, test tooling and equipment; inclusion of DFX (design for manufacturability, reliability, testability), and cost optimization in the product, process, and test components of the NPI; and training to build and troubleshoot the product once the release process is complete.

You will develop a thorough understanding of the construction, operation and testing of a mass spectrometer, related products and their related data processing systems.
