Pwi R And D Writing Systems Engineer in United States

PWI R&D Writing Systems Engineer Description - A Writing Systems Engineer is an experience individual contributor responsible for owning system-level performance of industrial inkjet web presses , with a strong emphasis on hands-on engineering, on-press troubleshooting, and technical leadership . This role leads complex problem solving across ink, printhead, media, firmware, and mechanical systems, driving print quality, reliability, and robustness through a combination of deep systems thinking and direct experimentation . The specialist serves as a key decision-maker in resolving ambiguous, cross-functional issues and ensuring successful product delivery. Responsibilities Hands-on system ownership & advanced troubleshooting (Primary) 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 System design & integration leadership Define and develop system-level solutions to optimize ink/media interactions, printhead performance, and image quality Lead integration of subsystems (ink, printheads, m
