Senior Mechanical Engineer
Under the direction of the Manager, Mechanical Engineering, the Senior Mechanical Engineer (SME) will be involved in and lead aspects of the design, analysis, fabrication, installation, validation, verification, documentation, certification, support, upgrade, and maintenance of ProTom's proton therapy systems.
At times the SME will be required to manage a subset of mechanical projects.
Engineering skills and expertise will be applied to; large rotating mechanical structures and associated drive machinery, dynamically loaded structures, robotic positioning devices, precision mechanical components/assemblies, electronic packaging, hydraulic and pneumatic circuits, process and utility piping, vacuum systems, and proton beam control devices.
The SME will participate in teams for both internal and external development projects.
The SME must be well versed in documenting requirements in such a way that they can be partitioned into a mechanical system architecture with direct downward and upward traceability to design requirements such that they meet the ProTom Quality Management System (QMS) requirements.
