Job description

from Johns Hopkins APL careers
Description

Do you want to be part of an organization focused on creating defining innovations that ensure our nation 's preeminence in the 21st century?

 

Would you like to further the development and fabrication of hardware, used to solve hard problems and whose solutions have an important bearing on National Security, Military Readiness, Space Exploration, National Health, and the advancement of fundamental science or engineering?

 

If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.

 

We are seeking a Computer Aided Manufacturing Engineer to help support the front-end data processing and panelization for a variety of APL internally fabricated hardware. This hardware ranges from high reliability configured space product to quick turn deployable rapid prototypes. Tasking beyond the primary support role (InCAM Pro) includes bare board electrical testing, laser drilling, and mechanical CNC drilling and routing.

 

This position includes a highly variable mix of work opportunity.

 

This is not a remote position.

 

As a CAM Engineer, you will contribute to the following areas:

 

  1. Computer Aided Manufacturing Engineering for incoming printed circuit boards including rigid, rigid-flex, and flexible circuits, as well as developing processing flows for the fabrication area using CAM software. Perform design checks, panel layout, coupon generation, file generation, and support manufacturability reviews with customers. Generate work orders with fabrication information and support closeout activities when complete.
