Overview
Responsible for using mechanical engineering principles to design, develop, customize, implement, test and/or sustain TDW products and services solutions for customer applications. This is an individual contributor role that works under the guidance of more senior engineers and collaborates with individuals from other engineering specialties to solve specific engineering issues as defined.
Key Responsibilities
Primary duties may include, but are not limited to:
- Applies knowledge of engineering principles to assist in design of components, products, tests and systems.
- Assists with documenting design calculations, tolerance analysis, concept development, 3D CAD models, engineering drawings and details design activities.
- Assists in the creation of product documents (e.g. build and/or operating/maintenance manuals).
- Assists with engineering change requests that provide needed improvements to documentation and design.
- Assists with estimating durations for application development, assists with prototype assemblies and validation processes and meets deadlines.
- Assists with test programs, including plan development, running tests and compiling test results and analysis reports.
- Reports to engineering manager and will work under the guidance of engineers and senior engineers to learn, grow and develop skills.
- Other duties as required
Experience
- Engineering specific work experience
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
