Sr. Mechanical Engineer

Senior Mechanical Engineer - PC Haverhill, MA (US)

Edwards has been engineering environments where innovation thrives for more than 100 years. Our legacy is built on a willingness to push the boundaries of science - that's why we're a global leader of vacuum and abatement. Being part of Atlas Copco Group means we have thousands of employees around the world; this is your opportunity to work alongside passion, expertise, and with the latest technology to transform industries such as electronics, medical research, renewable energy and more. Together, we have the power to improve millions of lives and shape countless careers.

The Role:

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will join our innovative and collaborative cross-functional team of electrical, software, and mechanical engineers, and play a key role in sustaining and advancing our cutting-edge cryogenic vacuum pumps and chillers. This is an exciting opportunity to drive significant product improvements, implement innovative cost-down solutions, and lead product development initiatives within a supportive and results-oriented environment.

Main Responsibilities:

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following key areas:

• Proactively identify and implement opportunities for cost reduction, process improvements, and value enhancement through Value Analysis and Value Engineering (VAVE) principles.
• Provide comprehensive engineering support to a cross-functional team of engineers and technicians throughout the design process, including technical reviews, modeling, analysis, verification, validation, and design transfer activities.
• Collaborate closely with other functions (e.g. Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain) to ensure that product cost, quality, and lead time goals are consistently met.
• Develop robust Test Plans aligned with performance objectives derived from system specifications.
• Partner closely with Applications Engineers and the Product Management Team to develop clear and comprehensive Technical Requirements Specifications.
• Drive continuous improvement of existing mechanical product designs and manufacturing processes throughout their lifecycle.
• Ensure product reliability, manufacturability, and compliance with relevant industry regulations.
• Effectively manage engineering changes and proactively address issues such as component obsolescence.

It goes without saying that you'll:

• Have a Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or related discipline with a minimum of 5 years of industrial experience.
• Have a demonstrated track record of leading sustaining projects in Industrial Products with OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer).
• Have proficiency in Computer-Aided 3D Design software (PTC Creo or Autodesk Inventor).
• Have extensive experience in Conceptual Designs, Prototyping, and Functional Testing on Industrial Products like Pump, Refrigerators, or Compressors
• Have experience in material selection to achieve specialized functions such as low friction, sealing, and preferred extreme temperatures.

You don't need to tick every box to be suitable - a willingness to learn goes a long way. So, if you keep reading and feel inspired, always apply.

It's a bonus if you:

• Have experience selecting materials for specialized functions like low friction, sealing, or extreme temperature applications.
• Are skilled in developing and executing design verification tests at the component and system level using risk analysis tools.
• Have a strong track record in conducting failure analysis and root cause investigations.
• Bring experience from a manufacturing environment and understand design for manufacturing and assembly (DfM/DfA) principles.
• Communicate technical information effectively to a wide range of audiences, including cross-functional leadership.
• Take initiative and approach problems with creative, practical solutions.
• Have strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Have demonstrated success working in cross-functional teams.

What you can expect from us:

• A friendly, family-like atmosphere
• Plenty of opportunities to grow and develop
• A culture known for respectful interaction, ethical behaviour, and integrity
• Potential to see your ideas realised and to make an impact
• New challenges and new things to learn every day
• Access to global job opportunities, as part of the Atlas Copco Group
• An excellent remuneration & benefits package - including competitive salary, a medical plan and achievable variable compensation structure
