Job Description
You will provide an advanced level of technical assistance with the design, development, construction, and testing of developmental prototype products, transition of pilot products to manufacturing, general electro/mechanical activities, test systems documentation, design, development and execution, and general research design, development and testing activities.
You will work closely with members of an engineering project team with minimal direction and instructions, work with project team members or manufacturing on engineering change orders, and act as a lead technician on engineering projects. You may coordinate, review and analyze the activities of a less experienced technician.
Provide complex technical assistance in the design, development, testing and modification of engineering prototypes.
Design, develop, construct and modify complex electronic circuits and mechanical designs utilizing known design concepts. Determine circuit values for specified maximum performance in basic circuits by making necessary mathematical calculations.
Can work independently and closely with electrical, mechanical, software and systems engineering to troubleshoot systems, do parts tracking and ordering, modifying, manipulating and configuring test setups that support engineering prototypes.
Be able to design and create software scripts to insure proper function of system sub-assemblies that may include other software, electronics and mechanical items.
Determine type of tests to be performed, approve and suggest modifications to testing equipment, and analyze test results to evaluate performance of products or equipment.
Determine appropriate materials and processes for preparing technical reports.
Conduct experiments to evaluate operating characteristics of products or processes. Assist in the planning, testing and evaluation of laboratory equipment, new and existing materials and techniques.
Exercise specialized technical judgment in the substitution of parts and materials. Evaluate and select optimum alternatives.
Develop or improve techniques to meet quality, function and cost standards.
Maintain effective liaison with all interfacing departments to assist engineering in transition from development into production.
Design, construct, modify and support in the engineering of various tooling fixtures necessary for the assembly of components for various devices/instruments that are in prototype, production build and/or test.
May act as technical representative, traveling to customer sites and/or tradeshows to advise and instruct in the installation, operation, and maintenance of Company-produced products.
Assure compliance of specific electronic equipment’s maintenance and calibration documentation requirements.
Compile, compute, analyze and present a variety of engineering data as required.
Review designs and specifications for completeness, accuracy, adequacy and compliance with company and customer specifications.
Specify, design, document, order and test cabling assemblies.
Support outside agency testing as needed per product.
Support engineering and manufacturing for engineering change orders.
