Engineer II

Summary

The Engineer 2 provides design solutions from project inception through production. Performing under reduced supervision and mentorship by more experienced colleagues, the Engineer 2 uses existing procedures, instruction, and guidance to solve routine engineering design problems. The Engineer 2 is capable to be assigned as lead engineer for small projects and able to perform component engineering for rehab and new components with minor direct supervision.

Responsibilities

• Preparing/updating designs for customer projects (OTC).
• Contributing to the Engineering team's objectives for Process Improvement and Standardization.
• Participating in proposals (OTO) to prepare preliminary design proposals.
• Technical project leadership from contract award through project completion.
• Define sourcing and manufacturing strategies starting with OTO plan at the beginning of the project.
• Operating CAD/CAE equipment to complete work assignments.
• Collaborating to refine strategies for manufacturing, sourcing, logistics and installation.
• Performing necessary design calculations (as required) by employing common engineering principles and using hand calculations, proprietary Voith design tools.
• Creating 3D solid models of components and assemblies. Creating 2D drawings best suited for the manufacturing methods (independently or by collaborating with designers.
• Reviewing and release engineering documents and Bill of Materials in consultation with other experienced engineers (engineer 2 or higher).
• Searches for and identifies OEM drawings in the archive and customer supplied drawing files.
• Using SAP to create BoMs (Bill of Materials) best suited for the manufacturing, sourcing, logistics and installation strategy.
• Participating in and leading design reviews.
• Preparing design changes and processing change notifications.
• Provides dispositions of non-conforming materials, machined/fabricated components and assemblies, and installed/tested assemblies as to adequacy for use in consultation with other experienced engineers (engineer 2 or higher).
• Participates in the creation of design schedules for project assignments.
• Keeping supervisors abreast of progress on assigned work (milestones reached, workload, challenges, and delays).
• Engaging vendors, manufacturing personnel, and field service personnel in defining manufacturing, installation, design solutions that reduce cost and risk.
• Supporting the quality department with continuous improvement and problem solving activities.
• Assisting Test Engineers during start-up and commissioning. Evaluating test results and checking on guaranteed values.
• Preparing and completing technical data reports/forms when needed.
• Communicating with customers regarding their engineering design-related questions and concerns.
