The position involves performing and analyzing routine to moderately complex engineering functions, quality control functions, designs, and specifications to achieve efficient, cost-effective, and reliable manufacturing or measuring processes. The role requires applying mathematical, physical science, and engineering technologies while following established procedures to complete multiple technical assignments. The engineer will assist in the design and/or project/process management of new and current products, programs, components, tools, and acceptance equipment under the technical guidance of higher-level engineers or departmental management. In this role, the engineer will develop manufacturing and measuring methods that designate tooling, gauges, acceptance equipment, and processing procedures. They will coordinate product and acceptance equipment designs and the ordering of testers, gauges, and laboratory equipment to support production acceptance. The engineer will define and acquire tooling, gauging, and other equipment necessary to manufacture and inspect parts to assure product quality. They will estimate set-up times, operating times, and flow times, as well as production and acceptance needs. The engineer will participate in establishing operating procedures on new products and components, develop test procedures, and perform routine to moderately complex engineering evaluation tests, product and process capability studies, quality audits, product or project data reviews, and other engineering evaluation work to assure product manufacturability. They will provide technical assistance in appropriate manufacturing and inspection areas, analyze processes, products, and records, and implement proper controls on all processes. Additionally, the engineer will prepare product or project definitions, manufacturing drawings and specifications, and test equipment designs. They will conduct audits to anticipate, identify, and correct problems and to measure quality levels and trends. Interaction with design agencies, suppliers, and internal organizations will be necessary to assist in resolving design, development, production, and acceptance issues. The engineer will prepare evaluation reports, analyze discrepancies, and make recommendations for improvements in product, test equipment, procedures, and manufacturing or operating processes that enhance productivity and quality while reducing flow time. They will evaluate opportunities for defect prevention based on standard or accepted technical practices and recommend preventive corrective actions. Safety is paramount, and the engineer is expected to conduct activities in a safe and healthy manner, adhering to established health, safety, and environmental requirements, and has the right and responsibility to stop work when unsafe conditions or actions are identified.
