Process Engineer

About the Role

This is a temporary, entry-level Process Engineer position within the Healthcare Diagnostic division, focused on day-to-day manufacturing of scintillator materials for PET molecular imaging applications. The role involves working in a production-oriented environment focused on process execution, equipment operation, documentation, and scale-up from development into large-volume manufacturing. The role has a duration of 12 months with the possibility of permanent conversion based on performance and dynamics.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and execute day-to-day manufacturing process steps for scintillator material production, including preparation of liquid precursors, nanomaterial synthesis, powder processing, calcination, milling, and sieving.
• Operate production equipment on a daily basis in support of pilot and large-volume manufacturing, including forming, precursor material preparation, and synthesis.
• Support process control, sample tracking, chemical inventory, batch documentation, data entry, and processing of experimental and production data.
• Work in a production-oriented environment focused on process execution, equipment operation, documentation, and scale-up.
• Perform daily operation of production and laboratory equipment.
• Support controlled material-processing steps.
• Collaborate closely with the R&D team to ensure process stability, repeatability, and day-to-day production of material precursors.
• Collaborate closely with R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to transfer process knowledge, troubleshoot production issues, improve workflow, and expand manufacturing capabilities.
• Follow EHS requirements for chemical handling, powder processing, thermal equipment, laboratory housekeeping, and safe production operations.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related technical field.
• Hands-on experience in a laboratory, pilot production, manufacturing, or technical process environment.
• Ability to operate equipment safely.
• Ability to follow detailed procedures.
• Ability to maintain process discipline.
• Ability to document work accurately.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Strong data organization skills.
• Reliability.
• Ability to work effectively in a team-based production environment.
• More than six months of hands-on training in several critical processing steps.
• Demonstrated reliability, strong work ethic, and ability to contribute effectively as a temporary worker in a technical manufacturing environment.

Highly Desirable Skills

• Experience with chemical precursor preparation, nanomaterial synthesis, powder processing, thermal treatment, or advanced materials manufacturing.
• Familiarity with material characterization and process-support equipment such as ICP-MS, DSC-TGA, particle size analysis, BET testing, porosity measurements, light output, decay time, or timing performance testing.
• Prior hands-on training in scintillator material production, equipment operation, or related advanced materials processing.
