Reports to: Engineering Manager
Partners across: R&D, Production, and Service (Repair & Calibration)
SECTION 1
Why should you join Fluke Health Solutions – Everett Ops
Everett Operations is intentionally transforming how engineering supports the factory – moving from reactive, daily firefighting to a preventive, capability-driven model. This position would be a developing test engineer supporting an assigned product cell, added to relieve the overallocated test-engineering coverage. Builds first-pass-yield and test-development depth under the guidance of senior engineers and the Principal/Metrologist.
SECTION 2
What this role entails:
- Support test development and fixture maintenance for assigned products.
- Execute yield-troubleshooting and data analysis under general supervision.
- Support, maintain and improve test systems throughout the factory.
- Assist sustaining and NPI test activities for the cell.
- Document test methods and contribute to CAPA investigations. Validate test stations per existing processes and document accordingly.
- Apply FBS Standard Work; participate in Kaizen.
- Ensure conformance to the ISO 13485 / FDA 21 CFR 820 quality system.
Fortive Business System Expectations
- Live the Fortive Business System: Kaizen, Standard Work, Problem Solving (root-cause to countermeasure), and Daily Management.
- Use visual management and data to drive decisions; sustain improvements rather than re-solve.
- Contribute to the function's continuous-improvement cadence and transactional/process Kaizen.
Job Leveling - Scope & Expectations
Knowledge & Expertise: Applies established engineering principles, standards, and procedures to defined problems. Building functional depth in the assigned discipline.
Complexity & Problem-Solving: Solves problems of limited-to-moderate scope using prescribed methods; analyzes defined situations with established precedent.
Autonomy & Supervision: Works under general supervision; receives detailed instruction on new work and guidance on most tasks. Work is reviewed for soundness of judgment and accuracy.
Impact & Scope: Decisions affect own assignments and the immediate work cell; errors are typically contained and detected within the cell.
Influence & Interaction: Interacts primarily within the team and assigned cell; explains information to peers and technicians.
Adjacent levels: Growth path to Engineer II (P16) as autonomy, problem complexity, and cell ownership increase.
SECTION 3
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology preferred).
