Responsibilities

• Supports existing products through their product life cycle and leads or supports the development of new mechanical products, subsystems, fixtures, and product improvements for domestic and global markets.
• Develops mechanical designs, assemblies, components, fixtures, tooling, and related specifications while balancing safety, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, cost, and user needs.
• Works collaboratively with cross-functional teams to translate customer, regulatory, quality, manufacturing, and business requirements into practical mechanical design solutions.
• Prepares and maintains engineering documentation for multiple audiences, including design inputs, design outputs, drawings, bills of material, test protocols, test reports, engineering analyses, ECNs, and design history file content as applicable.
• Participates in and may lead cross-functional design reviews, FMEA activities, risk analysis, usability or human factors reviews, troubleshooting sessions, and technical decision reviews.
• Develops verification strategies and writes or reviews test protocols for mechanical products, components, assemblies, fixtures, and design changes.
• Performs hands-on testing, prototyping, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and design iteration using engineering judgment and data from multiple sources.
• Interprets legacy designs and performs sustaining engineering activities, including product support, component obsolescence resolution, supplier changes, value engineering, and continuous improvement.
• Interfaces with manufacturing, subcontractors, suppliers, and international design teams in design transfer, technical support, and vendor coordination situations.
• Designs, fabricates, or coordinates test parts, equipment, jigs, and fixtures using internal resources, suppliers, basic machine tools, and rapid prototyping methods as appropriate.
• Supports Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance activities by integrating applicable design control, risk management, regulatory, and quality system requirements into engineering work.
• Facilitates or contributes to the ECN process for cross-functional workstreams and ensures assigned engineering deliverables are completed with appropriate quality, traceability, and timeliness.
• Prioritizes and manages multiple projects or activities with limited supervision, elevating risks, tradeoffs, and resource needs in a timely and professional manner.
• Acts as a resource for engineers, co-ops, interns, and colleagues with less experience by providing technical guidance, peer review, coaching, and support without direct supervisory authority.
• Demonstrates leadership behaviors consistent with future management potential, including accountability, clear communication, collaboration, constructive feedback, and the ability to build consensus across functions.
• Supports and contributes to continuous improvement and Envista Business System activities such as Daily Management, Problem Solving Process, Visual Project Management, and standard work improvement as applicable.
