Sr. System Integration Mechanical Engineer

At Endress+Hauser, progress happens by working together. As the global leader in measurement instrumentation, our ~17,000 employees shape the future in the field of process automation. Whether developing and realizing new technology as a team, collaborating to build instrumentation, or strengthening vital relationships with countless global industries, we work to create trusted relationships that help everyone thrive. As a family-owned company, we look beyond short-term moves and work to create a vision that is forward-thinking for our people, our clients, and the world at large.

We are looking for a Sr. System Integration Mechanical Engineer to join Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis, the global leader in Raman spectroscopy, tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), and quenched fluorescence (QF) instrumentation for laboratory, process, and manufacturing environments. Our laser-based analyzer systems perform high-performance chemical composition and concentration measurement of all phases of matter in any installation environment.

What is the role about?

We are seeking a Sr. Systems Integration Engineer with a solid foundation in mechanical and instrumentation design and practical experience with analytical instrumentation. This position is responsible for designing, creating, and releasing documentation to Manufacturing for custom analyzer systems (TSPs), which are used in global industrial process control applications, primarily within the Oil & Gas, Chemical, Biogas, and Hydrogen industries. You will work as part of our Systems Integration Engineering team to develop sample system modifications to meet customer needs, support Sales in quoting custom systems, and support customers during Factory Acceptance testing. You should have several years' industry experience and be comfortable collaborating with other engineering disciplines, as well as partners in manufacturing, quality, and service, to bring complete systems together. Working knowledge of electronics and instrumentation integration is a plus.

The position is responsible for the following for Custom Analyzer Systems (TSPs):

• Design, Technical Drawings, and Documentation
  • Develop design of customized TDLAS gas analyzer sample system and release comprehensive manufacturing documentation to enable efficient production workflows.
  • Select components and materials suited to harsh industrial environments per customer needs.
  • Ensure documentation aligns with engineering, compliance, and quality standards and policies.
  • Design, build, assemble, and test prototypes to evaluate form, fit function, and integration for Product Marketing projects.
  • Develop and deliver "as-built" documentation packages for customer installations, including dimensional layouts, electrical schematics, and flow diagrams.
  • Develop and submit comprehensive Factory Acceptance Plans (FAPs) in alignment with project specifications and customer requirements.
  • Compile and generate detailed Factory Acceptance Test Reports (FAT) for customer approval, ensuring all test results and observations are clearly documented.
• Collaboration and Support
  • Provide hands-on support to production teams throughout the custom analyzer manufacturing process.
  • Support Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) protocols and other system-level testing procedures.
  • Contribute conceptual designs and system cost estimates to Sales Support team for quotation.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to understand customer requirements during the proposal phase and translate them into actionable design inputs.
