Production Engineer

Position Overview:

Emit is seeking a versatile individual to fill a blended role for the production of Cryo-fluorescence Tomography (CFT) systems. This position will be primarily responsible for electro-mechanical assembly and supporting functions of purchasing, inventory management and logistics. This role requires technical proficiency with manual electro-mechanical assembly of vision systems, motorized axes, control electronics, and cabling. The Production Engineer is not expected to be an expert in each of these areas, however, this person must possess, or be able to acquire quickly, enough knowledge of these areas such that he/she is able to effectively manage and guide specialty contractors for efforts that are beyond their experience and integrate their efforts into the overall order fulfillment system.

Who We Are:

Emit Imaging is a leading manufacturer of Cryo-fluorescent Tomography (CFT) systems for the global bioresearch market.

Emit Imaging’s suite of software and instrumentation provides the most competitive product suite for this market. Our organization is driven to continuously support and develop leading-edge, upgradeable technology to best meet our customers’ needs - - and to help develop new applications to increase the use and scientific application of our tools. We have installed systems in North America and our headquarters are in Baltimore, Maryland.

Who You Are:

You are best described as a jack of all trades, but master of none with cross-functional experience spanning all elements of order fulfillment. Unafraid to get your hands dirty, you see the value in balancing your time behind a desk and on the factory floor. You recognize that the only constant in life is change, so you embrace it and embody adaptability. You are a builder and a creator of that which does not yet exist who enjoys the journey as much as, if not more than, the destination. As an energetic self-starter with a strong intellectual curiosity, you thrive in work environments that offer a high degree of autonomy and constant opportunities to learn and develop new skills. Your strong work ethic shines through, but you know how to laugh and have a good time too. Additionally, you will possess most, if not all, of the following training and experience:

• Familiarity with Six-Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, and other continuous improvement methodologies.

Emit Imaging offers flexible work schedules, remote work, and flexible PTO, because we care about getting our work done and meeting our commitments to our customers and to each other, not how many hours each of us spends in the office. That said, some meetings are ineffective when held virtually and you can’t take the factory home with you, so there will be times when your presence on site is mandatory. Emit Imaging also recognizes 8 federal holidays and shuts down for the last week of the year.
