Design Engineer

About the Role

Manufacturing Product/System Design Services work focuses on designing product components or portions of a functional system as part of a broader engineering solution including:

• Creating layouts and detailing mechanisms, structures, and parts for a major/more complex product component, portion of a functional system/manufacturing operation, or technically advanced prototype
• Researching ease of manufacture, availability of materials and equipment, interchangeability, strength-weight efficiency, etc. and preparing cost studies for assigned components
• Using Computer-Aided-Design/Engineering (CAD/CAE) software during the conceptual design process
• Identifying design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and recommending revisions and/or improvements in design layout to engineers or designers

Specialization Match Note: Para-Professional incumbents check layouts and drawings produced by engineers and more senior designers for clarity, completeness, conformity to standards, procedures, specifications, and accuracy of calculations and dimensioning.
