Mechanical Design Engineer

JOB DUTIES: Full ownership of New Product Development (NPD) Design projects. Performing design verification on original and derivative design ideas using analytical and experimental methods e.g. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) & Failure Modes Effect Analysis (FMEA). Performing development testing, engineering analysis, qualification testing, and production launch. Resolving problems of moderate scope using engineering fundamentals. Executing scripted Design/Process Validation (DV/PV) testing with limited support. Completing Failure Analysis investigations and engineering evaluations. Maintain product documentation (drawings and specifications) and lessons learned. Interacting with customers to solicit product specifications requirements, schedule expectations and budget. Leveraging knowledge of basic electrical circuits, microelectronic assembly, statistical methods, process control fundamentals, and product test processes. Following standard practices and procedures and deviating when necessary. Occasionally receiving general instructions on routine work, detailed instructions on new projects or assignments. Contributing and generates ideas, methods, solutions without benefit of defined procedures in internal and external situations. Strongly influencing design for manufacturability. Clearly presenting design concepts to customers, managers and peers verbally and using formal presentations. Leveraging CAD/3D tools such as Solidworks. Collaborating with local and global engineering teams on product design to satisfy customer specifications in electric vehicle applications. Ensuring alignment of design, cost, and manufacturability.
