Job Description :
POSITION SUMMARY
Analyzes, researches, and designs components or a system of components to develop or
improve existing products while reducing cost, enhancing
performance, or facilitating manufacturing operations.
Designs products or systems of moderate scope and
complexity for assigned programs using a variety of
engineering principles from mechanical, electrical,
packaging, or other engineering disciplines.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
1. Creates designs by analyzing product or equipment
specifications, performance requirements, and existing
manufacturing capabilities. Performs moderately complex
design, fabrication, modification, and evaluation of
mechanical or electromechanical components, subsystems, and
systems by applying engineering principals and established
analytical tools. May develop detailed designs by using
sketches and descriptive transfer functions provided by
others.
2. Determines feasibility of designing new equipment or
modifying existing equipment considering technical and
economic factors, available resources, time constraints,
and company planning, by performing detailed trade studies,
applying analytical methods, and creating solutions which
are defined and can be fully implemented.
3. Investigates pertinent design factors such as ease of
manufacture, availability of materials and equipment,
interchangeability, replaceability, strength-weight
efficiency, contractual specification requirements, cost-
defining recommendations, and change proposals.
4. Prepares or directs preparation of product or system
layouts, detailed drawings, assembly drawings, and
schematics by coordinating with designers or drafters,
interpreting customer and functional requirements, or by
using computer-aided design tools and following industry
and/or military drawing standards. Develops data and makes
preliminary layouts, sketches, notes, and documentation in
response to customer proposal requests.
5. Reviews drawings and layouts to ensure clarity,
completeness, form, fit, function, and conformity to
standards, procedures, and specifications. Identifies
design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and
recommends revisions and improvements to engineers or other
designers.
6. Conducts analyses and/or tests pertaining to the
development of new designs, methods, materials or processes
and completes required documentation by applying
engineering principles and company standards, and
generating reports, procedures, or change proposals.
7. Provides technical information which may affect long
range plant and product engineering planning by researching
manufacturing or processing techniques, materials,
properties, and process advantages and limitations.
8. Communicates with customers on Parker product
capabilities and to clarify customers' technical
requirements. Supports writing technical proposals for
customers by reviewing and interpreting specifications and
requirements. Prepares various reports by analyzing and
summarizing data.
9. Recommends changes to refine and enhance products and
processes by applying continuous improvement principles and
techniques.
10. Maintains professional and technical knowledge by
attending educational workshops, reviewing technical
publications, and/or participating in professional
associations.
11. Consistently applies established engineering practices,
standards, and documentation methods.
12. Shares specialized knowledge with others. Represents
company on specific projects. Assists in mentoring new
employees. Contributes to team effort by accomplishing
related results as needed. Work assignments may include
cross-functional or project team responsibilities (e.g.
continuous improvement).
