Work on the design and development of various electro-mechanical, electronic, electrical subsystems under development within an engineering facility. Perform all the engineering tasks necessary to complete assignments from concept and feasibility, through specification and design, ending with complete documentation, test procedures and first installation support. May lead system level design and distribution of functions into components. Expected to provide different approaches to solve problems and report on the trade offs of the different methods. Hands-on debugging, integration and final testing of assignments required. Provide estimates for cost and time requirements for assignments.

Responsibilities

Work is typically performed under minimal daily supervision, receiving guidance from manager/supervisor about the work that needs to be completed. Able to exercise high level of discretion and latitude in completing tasks.

Work as member of a development team to design products in a very fast-paced environment
Assignments may include involvement in the conception of new products, and development and enhancements to products, and problem investigation for current products.
Ability to present technical information on projects to non technical staff to aid in decision making.
Works effectively and positively in a team environment with other technical disciplines (physical and chemical sciences, mechanical and software engineering) and technical resources (assembly and service technicians) to identify approach and to achieve overall product development goals.
Generates plans, estimates and required documentation for completion of assignments including:
o Technical specification and requirements
o Assist with recommendations for staff requirements for project completion
o Necessary feasibility and component testing for assignment
o Completion schedules
o Product cost target
o Testing methods
Identifies and completes necessary feasibility and component testing for assignments, reports results with evaluation of methods to achieve goals.
Solves complex problems; takes a new perspective using existing solutions using appropriate analysis, technical knowledge and engineering methods.
Hands-on debugging, integration and final testing of assignments required with some travel (usually less than 10%)
Performs varied work that is substantially varied and complex. Works on diverse scope, which requires in-depth analysis.
Regularly exercises discretion and independent judgment involving complex tasks. Works under minimal supervision.
