Job Description

DIVISION INFORMATION

The Chemical Analysis Division (CAD) provides a diverse mix of analytical instruments and associated services to a broad range of end user markets including Safety & Security, Environmental, Food Safety, Energy, Mining, Life Science Manufacturing and Recycling, to name a few. Its instruments are deployed in the field and on the line, in challenging environments where customers put a premium on robustness, reliability and ease of use. They allow them to make decisions where they operate and streamline their businesses. CAD is a complex division with a global footprint, broad product portfolio and diverse customer base.
This Electrical Engineering position will be based in our Colorado Springs facility where the team is looking for a multi-tasking, hardworking, innovative, and goal-oriented individual with strong verbal and written communication skills. Though part of a large global reach parent company, this is a small local facility often requiring a flexible and dynamically adaptive approach to achieving our goals. The successful candidate will join a multi-disciplinary engineering team that supports x-ray source and neutron generator product development and manufacturing operations support.
