• Review procedures and plans prior to implementation as well as evaluate existing products, processes and materials for failure analysis and potential improvements.
• Participate in projects that require you to investigate, develop, document and implement new product and process technologies of moderate complexity and scope.
• Respond to situations presented to you by others, demonstrate proactive insight into technical challenges, mitigate potential issues, or incorporate improvements.
• Plan, schedule and execute the engineering work in a part of a major project; or lead a smaller scope project.
• Apply standard data analysis practices and techniques to establish root cause for product and process failures or to support the justification for improvements to products and processes.
• Observe products and processes to recognize discrepancies in results and follow operations throughout a series of detailed steps or processes to establish root cause of the discrepancies.
• Collaborate with others in the exchange of information, ask questions and regularly check for understanding in support of your development as an engineer.
