Job Description

DESCRIPTION

Job Summary

This entry-level/early-career, product-focused position applies engineering principles and design practices to develop optimized design concepts and mechanical design specifications. The role considers application, cost, weight, performance, reliability, durability, manufacturing, assembly, and serviceability requirements. It effectively communicates design capability, evaluates alternative concepts, and collaborates across cross-functional teams to develop and refine requirements, including those necessary to resolve product issues.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Engineering Execution

Creates 3D models and 2D drawings using

Creo

for forging, casting, and sheet metal components. Develops concept models and conducts

feasibility studies (DMU)

. Performs basic design calculations to support engineering decisions. Investigates VPI/field issues, identifies causal mechanisms, recommends corrective actions, and documents results with guidance from senior engineers.

Product Development & Change Management

Supports design decision-making activities including concept selection, optimization, and defining design specifications. Prepares and releases

Engineering Change Requests (ECR/ECN) in Windchill PLM

. Participates in processes such as Critical Design Decisions, Design Reviews, System Design Checklists, DFMEA/iDFMEA, DVA, GD&T application, and simulation inputs (e.g., ANSYS Workbench). Communicates component/subsystem design intent through complete Design Review packages for PPT, VPI, and VPCR programs.

Cross-functional Collaboration

Coordinates with internal cross-functional teams (CFT), customers, and technical experts to gather requirements, resolve product issues, and ensure alignment on design deliverables. Contributes effectively to team goals and influences within the work group.

Execution & Continuous Improvement

Independently executes established work processes while continuing to build product and engineering knowledge. Supports improvements in systems, tools, and design processes. May coordinate work with technicians, interns, or temporary employees as needed. Owns problem resolution for moderately complex components and subsystems, with increasing responsibility as experience grows.
