- Support manufacturing, quality, and field service teams by addressing design-related issues and implementing corrective actions.
- Investigate design concerns, manufacturing challenges, and field-reported issues and support root cause analysis activities.
- Revise structural framing, equipment supports, mounting arrangements, cable tray supports, access platforms, and mechanical integration features as required.
- Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), drawing packages, and engineering documentation.
- Support component substitutions, supplier changes, and obsolescence management initiatives.
- Collaborate with manufacturing and fabrication teams to improve product quality, manufacturability, and cost effectiveness.
- Prepare engineering change documentation and drawing revisions in accordance with company processes.
- Participate in design reviews and implement approved design improvements.
- Ensure compliance with company drafting standards, GD&T requirements, fabrication standards, and manufacturing best practices.
- Support continuous improvement, value engineering, cost reduction, and product reliability initiatives.
- Assist with fit-up verification, field feedback evaluations, and manufacturing investigations.
- Develop solutions that consider transportation, lifting, installation, serviceability, and long-term product support requirements.
- Coordinate with mechanical, structural, electrical, and cooling system stakeholders to ensure accurate integration of equipment within modular platforms.
- Support configuration management and document control activities for released products.
