Develops and recommends solutions to a variety of complex engineering requirements to ensure that design objectives are met. Projects at this level are assigned to develop in-depth knowledge and skills and to build knowledge of the organization, processes, and customers. Does not have direct reports. Works within engineering and cross-functional teams within and/or across the business unit or division. May have regular customer/supplier interaction.

Responsibilities

Essential Functions:

• Develops complex conceptual and detailed design specifications by analyzing product performance and customer requirements. Investigates design factors such as function, materials, performance, interchangeability, cost operational efficiency, and contractual requirements. Performs diverse and complex product development, modification, and evaluation of components, subsystems, and systems by applying engineering principles and developing new or unique analysis tools as required.
• Applies scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure the outcome and consequence of design alternatives. Interprets and validates test results for accuracy and precision. Oversees and monitors product acceptance procedures and parameters to achieve customer and product reliability and safety standards (e.g., failure analysis). Utilizes and interprets predictive models to simulate and verify design concepts.
• Completes technical project elements (e.g., preparation of product or system layout; defining system architecture; creating software developmen1 plans; etc.) as assigned. Develops critical data and analysis necessary to present technical product and/or system proposals to customers.
• Contributes to the completion milestones associated with specific projects (e.g., create functional diagrams and system layouts; review detailed drawings and schematics; define data structure, interfaces, and programming logic; analyze material requirements; research customer data item requirements).
• Reviews product specifications and/or modifications to ensure clarity, completeness, form, fit, function, and conformity to standards and procedures. Troubleshoots design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and recommends revisions, engineering change orders, and improvements to engineering management or the project team.
• Provides technical information for review with product engineering teams applying consistent engineering practices, standards, and documentation methods (e.g., structured design process; customer design reviews). Writes supporting documentation for procedures and technical reports.
