Senior Product Engineer

The Senior Install Base Product Engineer for Ultrasound Transducers is responsible for the technical ownership performance and lifecycle management of GE HealthCares installed base of ultrasound probe products. This role serves as a key technical leader bridging design engineering manufacturing quality service and sourcing to ensure customer satisfaction product reliability and manufacturability.

The engineer will lead cross-functional efforts to troubleshoot field issues and address design-related manufacturability challenges execute engineering changes (ECR/ECO) and drive resolution of quality events including non-conformances CAPAs and supplier changes. This role requires a broad engineering background strong systems-level thinking and the ability to effectively collaborate with global teams to sustain product performance and ensure continuity of the installed base throughout its lifecycle.

At our State College site teams design manufacture and service diagnostic medical ultrasound transducers (probes) used across a wide range of clinical applications including surgery urology cardiology and radiology. As a high-mix low-volume regulated manufacturing environment the site combines advanced engineering precision manufacturing and lifecycle support to deliver critical imaging technology that enables clinicians to make real-time decisions in patient care.
