Design Engineer

Swagelok Company•Solon, OH

About The Position

The Design Engineer performs multiple assignments of moderate complexity with minimal guidance and oversight, using established processes, standard work, systems, and tools. The role applies existing engineering principles, exercises judgment to identify risks, and recommends alternatives and options. The engineer works independently with occasional guidance from a supervisor or other engineers. The position develops product design concepts and specifications to meet customer expectations defined in project contracts. It integrates component form, fit, and function; applies design-for-assembly and design-for-manufacturing principles; completes product test plans; analyzes engineering data; and recommends documentation improvements that support design and new product development. The engineer collaborates with materials, manufacturing, assembly, and other functional departments to support successful product designs.
