Manufacturing Science and Technology (MSAT) Engineer

In this role, you will act as the technical liaison between R&D, Quality and Manufacturing, translating product innovation into scalable, high-performance manufacturing solutions for Agilent's analytical instrumentation platforms at the Little Falls, Delaware (Wilmington) site, and also remotely support instrument-products at Agilent's Chicopee Massachusetts and Winooski Vermont sites. You will contribute to process industrialization, technology transfer, and platform standardization, while working in a global, cross-functional environment.

New Product Introduction (NPI) Leadership & Industrialization

• Key focus on production test planning for new products, but also contribute to evaluation of electronics designs, complex qualifications, and root cause analyses during the NPI phase.
• Ensure application of Design-for-Excellence (DfX) across cost, manufacturability, quality, and automation.
• Collaborate with R&D on product development, validation, and manufacturability readiness.
• Influence design to ensure scalability, supply chain and process robustness, and manufacturability.
• Define system-level manufacturing concepts, test strategies, and industrialization approach.
• Lead prototype ramp, reliability validation, and evaluate launch readiness.

Technology Platform Engineering

• Serve as Technical Owner on critical & key platform technology processes across the full lifecycle, from development to obsolescence.
• Ensures Value Creation across cost, quality, reliability, delivery, supply robustness, and global product engineering strategy.
• Lead root cause investigations and systemic corrective actions for complex & cross-functional technical issues escalated from the factory team.
• Establish risk-based qualification strategies and action plans for new step-function improvements.
• Contribute to platform-level process standards and best practices.
• Support development of scalable architectures for assembly, calibration, and testing.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Working knowledge of Chemistry and Physics are desired skills.
• Relevant 8+ years of experience in a comparable engineering role, ideally including Test Engineering.
• Strong English communication skills, both written and spoken.
• Proven project management and organizational skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
• Solid understanding of complex technical systems and related development and manufacturing processes.
• Experience with technical drawings and CAD tools.
• Experience in PCBA design, manufacturing and qualification processes.
• Knowledge of engineering methods such as FMEA, DoE, DfX, Value Engineering (VE) or similar approaches is a plus.
• Structured, goal-oriented, and self-driven way of working.
• Ability to analyze complex technical challenges and develop practical, innovative solutions.
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills, especially in international and cross-functional settings.
• Strong ownership mindset and readiness to take responsibility for technical decisions and project outcomes.
