Evaluate customer product requirements and develops product designs to meet customer needs
Interpret customer requirements, and map requirements onto existing designs when possible, and/or develop new designs when needed
Optimize designs via analytical, numerical and/or empirical assessments. Make mechanical, thermal and electrical models/analysis to insure product requirements are met
Produce and/or evaluate possible design solutions to improve cost, quality, delivery and performance on specialized knowledge of engineering applications together with possible involvement of other functional engineers and/or customer/supplier personnel
Direct CAD designer to complete 3D models and drawings as necessary
Release drawings accordingly to support production cost estimation and prototype quotes
Review CAD models and drawings at the component and sub system level to ensure their integrity
Use CAD modeling software to create components, assemblies, and engineering drawings for manufacturing
Conceptualize appropriate mechanical & electrical design including design for manufacture and assembly
Document final design upon the successful development of component and simple subsystem, which includes releasing the final technical specification, related design calculation, and the design manual or guideline
Create and maintain Bill of Materials (BOM) along with all project documentation
Design and document solutions, within the scope of concepts, for components and modules, taking project guidelines (e.g. safety, quality, costs, weights and dates) into consideration
Detail mechanical & electrical design including design for manufacture and assembly
Advise stakeholders on the technical issues that affect the product design, production cycle-time & cost
Analyze assignments and determine engineering specifications which must be fulfilled for problems or projects
Support production ramp & ongoing/continuous product/process improvement
Perform and coordinate laboratory testing of prototypes for sub system characterization
Work with the test engineer(s) to create DVP&R, execute the defined test plan and review the test results/reports
Conduct field testing and provide preliminary evaluations

Organize design review with the manufacturing engineer team as well as project review with the management team to make sure product development completion on time
Support purchasing, field service and other internal customers as required
Lead or support prototype order and procurement
Operate in a team environment and provide input to design solution during the design development phase
Apply knowledge of company products, policies and practices to provide economies through standardization of parts and products.
Apply lean principles in designs and processes
Area of expertise at the subsystem level
Develop individual analytical skills and is also knowledgeable about the best tools and methods to analyze a given design problem and develop a good understanding of design risk factors. (Pre req for DFMEA line above)
Model and drawing documentation is accurate and complete
Exhibit insight and mechanical/electrical design sense to develop and meet design requirements with product designs that are manufacturable, cost-efficient, reliable, and better than the competition.
Hands on troubleshooting of vehicle systems
Lead Root Cause Analysis
Make sound decisions after careful deliberation of the alternatives and will revisit prior decisions as justified by new information
Release designs that are cost effective, manufacturable, serviceable, meet all performance objectives, and meet customer requirements
Support design decisions with detailed analyses
Validate designs virtually with FEA and CFD along with real world validation using test rigs, dynamometer, etc.
