- Develop engineering records that conform to internal standards and support the development, implementation, and maintenance stages of the projects/products
- Experienced in formal Offer Creation Processes (OCP)
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent (Master's Degree preferred)
- Minimum 5 years of product development experience (for Bachelor's degree; less experienced considered with advanced degree).
- Direct product design experience related to ANSI/IEEE Medium Voltage air and gas insulated Switchgear.
- Fulfills technical missions, with autonomy to propose/develop complex solutions in Medium Voltage air and gas insulated switchgear. May have hierarchical or functional responsibilities. May provide mentoring, instructions/assistance.
- If needed, manages the execution of verification & validation in laboratories and provides the analysis of results & reports to internal customers.
- Lead interface with manufacturing and quality organizations to ensure that a well-optimized and sustainable component/assembly is developed from fabrication/assembly concerns (Tolerance Analysis).
- Helps establish internal procedures and best practices.
- Creation of multiple component/assembly solutions to envisioned product concept.
- Development to be synchronized with changes/advances to existing product releases. This includes manipulation of appropriate CAD software.
- Develop electronic and hard copy records that conform to internal standards and support the development, implementation, and maintenance stages of the projects/products. Examples include up to date BOM (part number, description, material, processes, where used), Component Drawings (geometry, functional dimensioning, process callout), and Project General Files
- Prepare instructional/operational information as required.
- Prepares sketches or diagrams reflecting basic design concept. Makes mathematical calculations and adjustments in drawings and specifications.
- Recommends changes or modifications as appropriate to meet manufacturability, functionality, and measurability requirements.
- Prepares and oversees final layout, detail, assembly drawings, and other required documentation.
- Creates computer models of the product design concept
- Generates and maintains organized database and/or B.O.M., change reports and/or other documentation.
- Experienced in formal new product development processes (example, PMP)
Travel: 10% travel required to perform UL testing at laboratories.
