PRIMARY FUNCTIONS AND RESPOSIBILITIES:
Analyzes product or equipment specifications and performance requirements to determine the correct design method and process.
Design equipment based on customer specifications and performance requirements for engineered-to-order custom equipment.
Ensures correctness of proportions, consideration of stresses, speeds, weights, and other related design criteria including the specification of commercial components.
Perform load calculations for sizing servo-drive and pneumatic-actuator components.
Works closely with Electrical Engineers to ensure electrical / mechanical interfaces are correct and accounted for.
Utilizes knowledge of design for manufacturing in optimization of components and subsystems.
Creates Engineering BOMs, assembly drawings and detail drawings as necessary.
Responsible for innovative machine design in SolidWorks (80% of time).
Prepares design layouts and assists with the preparation of engineering estimates.
Creates engineering documentation, including Product Specifications and testing procedures, maintenance intervals and quality control directives.
Maintain compliance with Syntegon company policies, quality standards and industry safety standards
Designs prototype mechanisms and Proof of Principle (PoP) test assemblies for validation, as needed
Evaluates engineering data and test results to determine if design meets functional and performance specifications.
Confers with management, subject matter experts (SMEs), field service technicians, and engineering personnel to implement design modifications as required.
Provides technical information and guidance concerning manufacturing, materials, and process advantages and limitations.
Promotes teamwork and cooperation between areas of responsibility and other departments.
Applies feedback from company departments to continuously improve designs and engineering workflow.
Responsible for on-time and on-budget completion of all projects assigned.
Evaluates field installations and recommends design modifications to eliminate machine or system malfunctions.
