Mechanical Design Engineer

Our High Technology client seeks 3 Design Engineers.

Basic Function:

 

Designs, develops and tests all aspects of mechanical piece parts assemblies and equipment for inspection tools.  Develops technologies required to accurately inspect each of the various products.

 

Accountabilities:

 

1.       Develops plans, preliminary concepts and full designs for new tools.  Presents design approach to management, coordinates all design related activities and drives the effort to produce new inspection tools.

 

2.       Evaluates product requirements provided, and develops design to meet all requirements Develop piece part and assembly documentation required to machine

 

3.       Perform Finite Element Modeling to determine the acceptable strength and long term performance of various piece parts required for tools and the supporting equipment to successfully build and launch tools.

 

4.       Conducts product integrity tests, to prove out design concepts, and product reliability tests, documenting the results clearly.

 

5.       Maintains thorough knowledge of all aspects of assigned products/projects in regard to applications, design standards and procedures, manufacturing techniques, etc., in order to provide technical direction.

 

6.       Prepares all necessary documentation, including assembly drawings, Bill of Materials and engineering changes to be used in the proto build cycle prior to launching tools for the first time.

 

7.       Provides engineering direction and direct feedback to other engineers through design reviews and concept evaluations.  Guides the organization to define and perform the tests needed to determine the products’ robustness and effectiveness.

 

8.       Produce preliminary project proposals, including schedules and resources required to complete a given project.  Providing status updates and coordinating the activities of all supporting organizations.

 

9.       Works closely with suppliers to determine the most effective means to produce piece parts and tools and assemblies required to perform in line inspections.

 

Relationship with Others:
