Able to use hand tools and conventional machinery to develop prototypes / jigs / test equipment.

Main Responsibilities:

Translates technical specifications received from manager into usable engineering data applicable to the particular assignment. Requires a good understanding of procedures and concepts within own discipline and a basic knowledge of these elements in other disciplines.
Work closely within a mixed-discipline team to achieve the objectives and has a basic understanding of other related disciplines
Document all work, including advanced algorithms and design calculations, plans & estimates as well as the design performance characteristics and a summarized project cost breakdown.
Fully understands the impact of regulatory requirements on designs.
Test, evaluate, modify/enhance and re-test products, mechanical components and devices
Work in a professional manner consistent with the companys commitment to excellence, and R&Ds applicable development methodologies and/or standard operating procedures.
Produce detailed engineering design drawings in Solidworks that fully define components to be manufactured, including part tolerances & the assembly process.
Standardise all designs as far as possible, using standard components; particular consideration must be given to inventory management, manufacturability, and maintenance. A thorough understanding of appropriate materials for design, surface finishes, fits & tolerances is also required.
Solve relatively complex problems in core discipline, and basic problems in other engineering disciplines. May rely on assistance from senior personnel to solve complex problems.
Act as an advisor and coach to mentor junior members of the team
Designs products/components/devices that can be made reliably, cost effectively and that will perform consistently in specified operating environments within agreed timelines/budgets.
Responsible for projects/parts of projects requiring good analytical skills as well as evaluative judgement based on the analysis of factual and qualitative information in complicated or novel situations
Stay abreast of latest developments in the discipline
