Engagement - Mechanical Project Engineer

Position Title : Mechanical Engineer Position Summary : The Mechanical Project Engineer is responsible for the mechanical design integrity, approach and profitability for machine design / build projects.

Responsible to take the mechanical design lead for a project under the direction of Project Manager or Engineering Director.

This position is required to manage all technical issues potentially affecting the project, such as customer specifications, cycle times, pneumatics, hydraulics, etc.

Continually assess the impact of these issues to your project and facilitate corrective action, maintain project budget, and engineering design release schedule integrity. Position Responsibilities :

• Obtain project design hours and delivery milestone date objectives that are established for each project assigned, while designing a reliable and efficient machine at the lowest cost.
• Assist the project manager (PM) in the design concept review meeting to discuss the customer supplied machine specification requirements and innovative, cost effective and time saving machine design concepts to satisfy their needs.
• Responsible to structure and breakdown the design effort for large projects into manageable design tasks and then oversee in-house designers / outside design houses.
• Clearly communicate the design task scope, establish task design hours budget target for completion, establish a milestone schedule with clear completion deadlines and then regularly monitor progress.
• Submit a detailed mechanical design schedule to the PM for each project to assist the PM in completing a project schedule within one week of project kick-off.
• All stations, all design tasks, design resources required, etc. must be provided to the PM to support the detailed information required per the standard project schedule template.
• Coordinate with the Project Manager to have mechanical designers assigned to your design tasks.
• Work with and supervise the mechanical designers to efficiently complete design tasks relative to the overall project schedule milestones established for the project.
• Apply sound design practice to the development of hydraulic and pneumatic components to meet the design requirement of the machine design.
• Coordinate with the lead controls engineer or control project engineer assigned to the project so the correct electrical components (i.

e., hydraulic cylinders & valves, pneumatic cylinders & valves, etc.) are ordered to meet the mechanical engineering design requirements of the machine.

• Identify hard to reach areas and potential problems relating to accessibility for part location proximity switches, safety pinch point areas, etc.
• When necessary, engineering tasks may be sent outside to qualified, approved engineering design houses.
• It is your responsibility to oversee this process and ensure that written project scope, project budget maximums are defined and agreement with design house is obtained prior to beginning the task with an outside supplier.
• Communicate and document regularly to the PM and / or Engineering Manager the following project status, design completion dates, design problems or challenges, customer approval requirements, cycle time concerns, customers part issues or discrepancies, or any issues that may impact the success of the project.
• Project Engineer is responsible to document and report the following : Cycle time changes / operator load times concerns designs.

Cycle time throughout the debug phase on a weekly basis.Customer part changes / concerns.Fixture set-up and parts qualification from a PPK and CPK basis.

Cost of missed components / concept changes / overall cost overruns.Proper selection of materials and components.Follow design checklist.

Responsible to acquire the design / detail status report weekly from the controls / mechanical engineer.Schedule and hold design review meetings per schedule.

Minimum Requirements :

• A four year technical degree (BSME) or equivalent is required to be considered for this position.
• 2+ years of manufacturing engineering and machine design, build, implementation, and start-up automation experience a must have.
• 2+ years direct experience designing custom automation welding / assembly and / or packaging machinery.
• Must have SolidWorks experience.
