Careers
How do scientific questions get answered? How do new things get built? They always require people with a love of science or engineering who use building blocks to discover and create. Alicat Scientific has been manufacturing and servicing high-quality mass flow and pressure devices since 1991, and we have grown every year for over 20 years. Each instrument is a custom-made building block that might be employed in support of space rockets, hydrogen fuel cells, medical oxygen delivery systems, environmental monitoring stations… or anywhere precision gas instruments can advance science and industry.
At Alicat, speed is embedded throughout our organization, including the instrument’s speed of response, our speed of product development, and our speed of customer support. We don’t believe in hierarchy or power by title, prefer principles over rules, and believe if you make an impact, people will notice. Our informal environment celebrates differences, whether those differences are as big as our diverse backgrounds or as small as our opinions of movies.
Careers
Manufacturing Engineer
The Role
The Operations department is a fast-paced environment with hundreds of combinations of products being manufactured every day. We set ourselves apart from other manufacturing companies with our adaptability and determination to push the boundaries of what is possible. Our fast-line products are machined, assembled and shipped in one-to-three days. Our more custom-design products, whether it’s a one-time order or large-scale project with a completely new design, follow quickly after, already being designed and details discussed before other companies have even responded to the initial request.
The role of Manufacturing Engineer will be focused on two main areas. The first being to continuously improve the efficiencies and capabilities of the Production team and existing processes, ensuring fast delivery and top quality of products for our customers. The second part will be coordinating and leading new product introductions from Engineering to Production, ranging from completely new product lines to custom variations of our mainline products.
