Design EngIneer NX

The Senior Design Engineer checks completed layouts, communicates with other engineering personnel, resolves design problems, designs new products, maintains existing products, resolves difficult-to complex design problems, and implements common procedures.

Primary Responsibilities:

Designs major components or major portions of functional systems, technically advanced prototypes, and promotional or specific products using computer design and engineering systems

Develops or improves products and facilitates manufacturing operations. Develops data and makes layouts, sketches, and notes for design proposals

Investigates pertinent design factors such as ease of manufacture, availability of materials and equipment, interchangeability, replace ability, strength-weight efficiency, and contractual specification requirements and cost

Designs, develops and tests metallic or non-metallic structures or materials and their related fabrication processes for use in engineering designs

Reviews completed layouts and drawings to ensure clarity, completeness, conformity to standards, procedures, specifications, and accuracy of calculations and dimensioning

Communicates with the other engineering personnel to coordinate the interrelated design and ensure project completion

Designs and reviews layouts of components, calculates stack-up of detail components, and performs major cost studies consisting of new details and/or marked prints and all supporting documentation, when necessary, to facilitate operations and ensure that established objectives and budgets are achieved

Resolves design problems of difficult-to-complex scope to ensure project completion. Designs new products and processes, and improves and maintains existing products to help create better products or processes and ensure that the current and future needs of the business are met

Provides technical leadership and when required, assists in training less experienced engineers to help them diagnose and solve Responsibility Statements problems and build capabilities

Designs and implements common procedures and standard work across the organization to optimize efficiency and quality. Develops data and makes layouts, sketches, and notes necessary to present design proposal

Qualifications/Experience Needed:

Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) unless prohibited by local laws/regulations and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience or in absence of a degree, 9 years of relevant experience
