Description
Manufacturing Engineer
Location: Sturbridge, MA
Salary: $120,000
Job Type: Direct Hire
Position Summary
This company is seeking a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to support electrical testing, troubleshooting, and production of Microchannel Plates (MCPs), Channeltrons, and Advanced Performance Detectors (APDs). This role is highly hardware-focused and operates directly on the factory floor within an ISO 7 cleanroom environment.
The engineer will ensure detector assemblies meet electrical, vacuum, and performance specifications while supporting daily production operations, yield improvement initiatives, and test capability continuity during high-priority manufacturing situations. This position also plays a key role in transitioning test processes from manual to semi-automated systems.
This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who enjoys practical, high-voltage and high-vacuum hardware work and is eager to learn specialized detector technologies.
Candidates with backgrounds in semiconductor manufacturing, vacuum systems, photonics, electron-optical components, or other high-voltage precision industries are strongly encouraged to apply.
Key Responsibilities
Electrical Testing & Data Integrity
Troubleshooting & Failure Analysis
Manufacturing & Production Support
Process Control & Continuous Improvement
Equipment & Test Fixture Support
About the Product – Advanced Performance Detector (APD)
The APD is a precision detector assembly used in mass spectrometry applications. It includes components such as an anode, phosphor screen, time-of-flight detector (TOF), and a glass wafer containing millions of micron-sized bias-angled channels. Within each channel, electron collisions amplify weak input signals to generate measurable outputs.
The Manufacturing Engineer plays a key role in ensuring consistent electrical performance and on-time delivery of these high-performance detector systems.
