• Integrate new technologies, innovative manufacturing methods, and cost-effective initiatives into mechanism designs, supporting new product releases with a strong emphasis on material properties and surface finishes.
• Manage product-related documentation and specifications at the component level, including manufacturing processes and field performance, while maintaining the integrity of mechanism designs.
• Serve as the customer focal point for technical information on mechanisms, in-field applications, and guidance related to alignment performance and material durability.
• Collaborate with internal and external suppliers and manufacturing personnel to develop and validate mechanism prototypes through pilot production, interfacing with customers to test misalignment tolerance.
• Oversee the successful transition of mechanisms and processes from new product introduction (NPI) phase to volume manufacturing in low-cost regions, regularly interfacing with NPI and manufacturing engineering groups at global facilities.
• Provide technical assistance to drafters, designers, engineers, and support personnel to ensure accurate implementation of mechanism designs.
• Support the product design effort by conducting tolerance analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), material evaluations, and failure analysis specifically for mechanical mechanisms involving bearings, pins, and metallic components.
• Lead efforts in identifying new or alternative materials (e.g., advanced steels, aluminums, or coatings) and benchmarking them, while participating in the development of innovative manufacturing techniques for mechanism components.
• Actively collaborate with product designers on design reviews, component testing, qualification, and introduction of new mechanisms, including derivatives that address market demands for improved alignment and durability; participate in quality investigations to ensure mechanism specifications are met.
• Participate in fixture design and create / manage test plans to support the NPI process, with a focus on simulating misalignment scenarios and evaluating surface finish impacts.
• Identify and facilitate project initiatives such as cost improvements, quality enhancements, and performance benchmarking for connector mechanisms.
