We pair the enthusiasm of an industry disruptor with the experience of a longtime leader. Our team of 11,000+ colleagues from around the globe are vital to our success and the reason we're able to push boundaries in pursuit of better human health.

Find your future at Revvity

We are seeking a talented Process Engineer to join our dynamic team of four multidisciplinary engineers, providing essential manufacturing support and driving New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts to support the projected growth of the site. As part of this role, you will contribute to the company's rebranding initiatives during our transition from PerkinElmer to Revvity.

You will be assigned a primary instrument or group of products, taking ownership of understanding their design, build, test requirements, process flow, and systems. Working closely with R&D divisions (potentially on a global scale) and key business stakeholders, you will play a crucial role in transforming conceptual designs into cost-effective, high-quality manufacturing outputs. Once products are handed over to operations, you will provide ongoing engineering stewardship to ensure their continued success.

This position calls for a creative and analytical engineer with a solid understanding of manufacturing processes and proficiency in CAD. The ideal candidate will be proactive, collaborative, and capable of leading multifunctional project teams, both internally and externally, including consultants and suppliers, to drive the success of projects and products.

Your internal title will be Validation Engineer.
