GENERAL PURPOSE
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS- Applies basic supply chain cost, value stream capabilities, and economic principles.- Applies learned engineering skills to work assignments.- Applies problem-solving skills and executes solutions to problems independently.- Coaches basic engineering tasks to others.- Completes engineering tasks within the oversight of leadership.- Follows engineering and quality processes.- Performs additional responsibilities as requested to achieve business objectives.- Seeks and receives mentoring from senior-level and engineering leadership.- Seek approval from the budget owner using the appropriate request process.- Takes good notes, showing work and assumptions.- Performs additional responsibilities as requested to achieve business objectives.
Additional Essential Functions- Collaborate with industrial designers to understand and implement the design vision and objectives of products. Investigate and consider multiple solution alternatives for problems and concepts.- Present solutions by evaluating the alternatives and tradeoffs, refining the feasible alternatives and eliminating the weaker options.- Collaborate and communicate with project team members, other engineers, external experts and industrial designers to share ideas and offer suggestions.- Investigate new or existing suppliers,



materials and manufacturing processes that could provide solutions.- Complete sketches, models, detailed engineering analysis' and studies that support the development of new parts and products; specific tools include FEA, tolerance stacks, FBD's, kinematics, hand calculations, logic flow charts, state diagrams.- Develop and specify appropriate prototype fabrication processes and materials; coordinate the build of prototype products and the fabrication of prototype parts.- Evaluate and test concept models and prototypes against the project objectives, criteria, and requirements.- Identify potential problems with new products and concepts and develop good corrective actions by following a rigorous problem-solving process.- Solicit cost estimates for prototype and production parts.-
- Research, investigate, and understand product criteria, functions, requirements, and cost targets (customer criteria, performance requirements, build objectives, manufacturability, assembly, quality, craftsmanship, service, and installation).- Work directly with Performance Engineering to develop Performance Requirements and test plans; request or perform physical testing on parts and products, then evaluate test results.- Create, maintain, and release accurate 3D CAD models, drawings, service parts, instruction sheets, Gerber files, schematics, ECOs, BOMs, and material specifications for prototype and production products.- Support the development of planning guides, CSI, tech specs,



product labeling and marketing materials.- Support the completion of PPAP and ensure parts are appropriately released for production following HMI procedures.- Work directly with manufacturing engineering, supply management, operations, and suppliers to refine product designs to optimize tooling and equipment; manufacturing processes, assembly and reliability; assist with evaluating potential part suppliers and tooling suppliers.- Work directly with Quality Engineering, Dimensional Engineers, and suppliers to refine product designs to achieve quality and craftsmanship objectives.- Support operations and suppliers with problem identification, problem-solving, and operator training during pilot build and launch activities.- Manage individual task work to meet project team objectives for budget and timing.- Regularly review part and product designs with development team members, managers, designers, and suppliers to solicit their feedback and suggestions for improvements.- Maintain engineering notes, models, records, calculations and analysis' that demonstrate the progression of the product designs and review with lead engineers.- Complete patent disclosures and Right to Use (RTU) with the manufacturer's legal staff.-
- Support other project team members and project activities that require input and task work from the product development engineer: project schedules, project budgets, CMF development, prototype builds, PR's, testing, supplier communications.
Skills and Abilities- Engineering/Technical degree from and accredited program or 2-year technical degree in related field with 5 years of applicable engineering experience.- 2-4 years of professional engineering experience or 0-3 years or specia
