Design engineer

Title: Design engineer

Location: Sanford NC 27330

Duration: Long Term Contract

Summary: The main function of a design engineer is to apply the principles of mechanical engineering to the design development testing and validation of engine installation components. A typical design engineer understands all functional requirements for a new design and understands root cause of an failing existing design to provide validated solutions. Job Responsibilities: Design engine installation components to satisfy all cross functional requirements and collaborate with component suppliers to optimize for cost quality and manufacturability. Collaborate with test and validation team to establish necessary activities to deliver fully validated designs. Manage project list to ensure all deadlines are met. Ensure validated root causes are identified for any failed components as well as developing fully validated solutions. Skills: Verbal and written communication skills problem solving skills customer service and interpersonal skills. Strong ability to work independently and manage ones time. Strong problemsolving skills including root cause identification and development of fully validated solutions. Strong supplier collaboration skills to ensure designs are optimized for cost quality and manufacturability. Strong collaboration skills within cross functional engineering and manufacturing engineering team. Education/Experience: Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering required. 710 years experience required.

Major Job Duties and Responsibilities: Develop designs to meet customer requirements during new product development. Plan and support the execution of validation of designs both in controlled settings and possibly with actual customer applications. Collaborate with supply chain engineering and manufacturing to bring solutions to market in timely and cost efficient fashion.

As an engineer on the Engine System Team the successful candidate will support the resolution of critical customer issues and new designs as part of new product development involving the engine installation on small construction equipment. The engineer will work as a member of a cross functional team that includes other Engine System Team members various other system and machine group engineers manufacturing purchasing and supply chain personnel. The key deliverables will be fully developed and validated designs complete with drawings that have been reviewed for manufacturability. Some flexibility on hours

Bachelors degree in engineering required. Mechanical engineering degree preferred but willing to review other engineering degrees. Eight to ten years of engineering experience required.

Required: some kind of 3D modeling such as Proficient in Creo/ProE Desired: general understanding of machinery and construction equipment general understanding of engines and engine installation and validation and instrumented testing methods.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills Ability to work in team / collaborative environment and strong planning and organizing skills necessary to deliver projects on time.
