3h•$4,100 - $7,300•Onsite

About The Position

This product-focused position applies knowledge of engineering principles and design practices to create optimized design concepts and mechanical design specifications, considering application, cost, weight, performance, reliability, durability, manufacturing, assembly, and serviceability. This role effectively communicates the capability of a design concept to meet cross-functional requirements, including assessment of alternative and competitive design concepts, and works effectively across cross-functional disciplines to develop corporate and customer requirements, including those required to resolve product issues. In this role, you will make an impact by investigating material and material processing problems, understanding causal mechanisms, recommending appropriate action, actively contributing to problem resolution, and documenting results with guidance from more experienced team members. You will apply and support the improvement of processes such as material and material processing validation, quality auditing, design validation, and 7-step problem solving. You will utilize the tools and techniques for material characterization, material testing, non-destructive testing, mechanical and physical properties measurement, simulation, and statistical data analysis, which are required to enable higher quality decision making. You may support more experienced team members to obtain input and negotiate with Quality, Supply Chain, and Engineering functions, and deliver testing/analysis results and consultancy to these functions to enable internal and external customer success. You may support more experienced team members who make decisions in the areas of material and material processing selection and optimization, qualification, and inspection that impact product quality, reliability, durability, and capability. You will apply and improve material specifications/standards in alignment with requirements, capability, and quality needs. This may include activities in problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services. You will have supervised execution of established work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge; you will engage with the improvement of systems and processes. There is no direct management of people, but it could involve limited coordination of work amongst engineers and technicians. You will contribute effectively toward team goals and develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.
