The company produces custom-designed, high-reliability products for aerospace, medical, optical, communications, industrial, and military customers.

Key responsibilities will include: - Managing the daily activities of the engineering department, which includes three design engineers; a manufacturing engineer, who in turn supervises a technician; and a quality engineer. - Training and helping to develop the individuals on the engineering team; setting high standards and holding people accountable to those standards; and adding to, or upgrading, the team as necessary. - Working extensively with customers.

In this regard, the EM and his/her team will work with the planning department, purchasing, other departments involved in manufacturing (such as tool making, stamping, CNC, assembly, etc.), outside plating subcontractors, and inspection. - Conducting forensic analysis on those occasions when a customer experiences a problem with the package. This may involve metallographic analysis, communications with the customer, and in some cases visits to the customer’s facility. - Working with the VP of Marketing and Sales to design new products in response to market and competitive intelligence. - Participating in R&D projects as needed. - Participating in decisions about capital equipment purchases. - Overseeing the design of all fixtures and automation. - Creating and maintaining procedures for engineering change notices and production documentation development. - Refining and maintaining the requirements for the Sinclair quality management system. - Participating on Sinclair’s behalf in the activities of the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association (formerly the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council). ***Ideal Candidate Profile*** Desired experience and attributes: - Demonstrated expertise in hermetic packaging; experience with the glass-to-metal sealing process is desirable. - Strong familiarity with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. - A track record of success in engineering roles, particularly those involving product design. - Experience with SOLIDWORKS design software. - At a minimum an undergraduate engineering degree. A graduate degree is a plus. - Management experience within an engineering function. - An understanding of the materials and processes needed to make a hermetic package. - Intellectual curiosity; an interest in designing products, solving problems, working with new materials, and advancing the technology. - A comfort level in dealing with customers, vendors, and other constituents. - A collaborative and cooperative attitude. - Willingness to roll up one’s sleeves, play a hands-on role, wear multiple hats, and generally do whatever it takes to get the job done. - The ability for occasional travel. *For more information or to submit your resume, please click on the button below:* *[![Submit Resume Engineer Manager Sinclair Manufacturing](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2361806/6ae1e2df-8875-40e6-8326-16d0017bf8ba.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2361806/6ae1e2df-8875-40e6-8326-16d0017bf8ba)* -by [Lew Weinstein](https://www.bostonsearchgroup.com/blog/author/lew-weinstein) on Jul 25, 2017 9:59:11 PM Find me on: [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lewweinstein/) Looking for something?
