Mechanical Engineer

Role Overview

• Responsible for designing, developing, and improving new and existing products and components
• Fabricating and testing prototypes while ensuring product integrity, technical accuracy, and applicability
• Manages projects, changes, and/or development from start through completion while communicating, supporting, and interacting with other functional groups
• Plans, designs, and develops products or components in projects assigned
• Prepares or directs preparation of the project/system layout, detailed drawings and schematics
• Plans and develops experimental test products
• Directs and coordinates manufacturing or building of prototype product or system by Model Shop employees
• Analyzes test data and reports to determine if design meets functional and performance specifications
• Gathers and analyzes research data and proposed product specifications
• Determines feasibility of product proposal/specifications
• Consults with research personnel, sales, and principal engineer to clarify or resolve issues and develop design
• Conducts business case analysis and planning to effectively commercialize new products
• Reviews and analyzes series production of new products to ensure the highest quality standards and lowest cost levels are met
• Uses computer assisted engineering and design software and equipment to perform engineering and design tasks
• Consults with research and other engineering personnel and prepare design modifications as required
• Evaluates engineering test results for possible application to development of systems or other uses
• Consults with suppliers in relation to parts or products necessary to design or improve products and components
• Provides design, prototype, and validation support for improving existing product
• Oversees installation and testing of field test units at customer sites
• Routinely contacts these customers for feedback on test units
• Inspects, maintains and, if necessary, troubleshoots and repairs field test units
• Creates product documentation including manuals, architectural surveys, and layout drawings to support new products
• Updates product manuals, as necessary, to stay current with product and component changes
• Sits on AMCA International committees (for positions requiring engineering of HVLS Fans) to ensure product meets regulations and drive new regulations
• Visits new and established suppliers looking for advances in new technology, status of existing product, opportunities for cost saving, current capabilities, and supporting root cause analysis
• Monitors and analyzes the technology markets, customer feedback, and benchmarking to identify and understand trends

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• 5-8+ years of engineering experience, preferably in product design engineering duties with a strong work background within a manufacturing environment
