As a Project Engineer I, you will play a key role in the development of new products that meet all product objectives, including performance and return on investment. You will leverage your engineering expertise to create products that deliver a significant impact on customers. Through creative problem-solving and a strong drive for results, you will contribute to solutions that prioritize quality, delivery, and cost, all while fostering collaboration and innovation.
Leadership Responsibilities
- Lead project teams in collaboration efforts for product development initiatives.
- Provide direction and support to part designers to help achieve project goals.
New Product Development
- Adhere to the Concept to Product (C to P) gated development process.
- Create and maintain 3D master assembly models using drawing standards, leveraging Inventor and Autodesk Vault platforms.
- Develop and maintain detailed 2D component drawings with all required specifications, using dimensioning techniques, welding symbols, material callouts, and part markings.
- Maintain product bills of materials (BOM) for your project.
- Fully develop any product options related to your project.
- Identify critical assembly operations and provide necessary torqueing information on system commodity drawings for production teams.
- Produce and update engineering-related documents, including:
- Instruction Books (AIB) and Spare Parts Books (ASL) per company standards.
- Dimension Drawings (AHB) for all product variants.
- Product data documentation (AML).
- Service requirements, including consumable service packs.
- Product Configuration/Options Matrix (PCT) files.
- Wiring schematics (when applicable).
- Assemble prototypes for products in development as needed.
Project Documentation & Management
- Initiate and support the development of all necessary product documentation.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date project-related information, including:
- Project timing and risk assessment.
- Project budget, PK/PCM actions, decisions, and result plans.
- Sprint efficiency tracking.
- Provide input to management for PCM presentations related to your projects.
- Take ownership of the technical file content and document the closure of gate phases.
- Lead and drive project team meetings.
Cost Management & Product Integrity
- Calculate the cost of the product monthly to ensure it aligns with target objectives.
- Monitor project budget, addressing deviations as needed.
- Perform numerical calculations to ensure design integrity.
- Assist with digital tools such as FEA and CFD analysis when required.
- Conduct Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) to ensure product safety and reliability.
- Analyze potential misuse of products and ensure compliance with safety standards.
- Strive to achieve a First Time Right (FTR) metric of greater than 90%.
- Maximize the reuse of existing components to reduce costs, minimize risks, and expedite time to market.
Project Follow-Through & Quality Assurance
- Follow through on your project through to completion as an active member of the TCM team.
- Address any field warranty issues that may arise post-project launch.
