PWI R&D Writing Systems Engineer

• →Serve as the technical owner for system-level performance, including print quality, reliability, and production robustness
• →Lead hands-on troubleshooting on industrial web presses, diagnosing complex print defects (banding, mottle, nozzle behavior, edge effects, etc.)
• →Design and execute on-press experiments (DOEs) to isolate root causes and quantify system sensitivities
• →Drive root cause analysis across subsystems (ink formulation, printhead, firmware, mechanics, media) and implement corrective actions
• →Support press bring-up, ramp, customer escalations, and field issues, often in high-pressure situations requiring rapid, data-driven decisions
• →Translate real-world press behavior into actionable engineering insights and design improvements

The pay range for this role is $93,400.00 - 135,400.00 USD annually with additional opportunities for pay in the form of bonus and/or equity (applies to United States of America candidates only). Pay varies by work location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

• Define and develop system-level solutions to optimize ink/media interactions, printhead performance, and image quality
• Lead integration of subsystems (ink, printheads, media, firmware, mechanical systems) into a robust, high-performing writing system
• Establish system requirements, performance targets, and tradeoffs across quality, reliability, and cost

• Define comprehensive test strategies and validation plans for system performance (IQ, durability, reliability)
• Architect and guide execution of experiments, ensuring high-quality data and clear conclusions
• Establish and evolve system-level metrics and characterization methods

• Apply advanced data analysis and modeling to improve system performance and robustness
• Identify key sensitivities and failure modes, driving design changes across subsystems
• Balance competing requirements (print quality, throughput, cost, manufacturability)

• Act as the system-level authority across R&D, manufacturing, quality, and field teams
• Provide clear technical direction and influence design decisions across disciplines
• Mentor junior engineers and guide team problem-solving approaches
• Communicate complex technical issues, risks, and recommendations to leadership and stakeholders

• Lead system-level aspects of NPI programs, from concept through qualification and release
• Define technical milestones, risks, and mitigation strategies
• Drive closure of critical issues impacting product readiness and customer satisfaction
