Mechanical Design Engineer works on several projects where technology and innovation play a crucial role to create detailed mechanical designs of specialty products for B2B and B2C markets in the industrial and gaming industries. As a member of the multi-disciplinary design & NPI team, the
Mechanical Design Engineer will design and engineer complex platforms and systems and assist throughout the design & NPI cycle to meet customer requirements from the development of conceptual prototypes and architecture, through the development phase and into full-scale production.
RESPONSIBILITIES
• Works closely with engineering, design and NPI teams to design and develop new and existing products that meet performance specifications, deadlines and cost goals.
• Participates in design visualization efforts by creating 2D engineering drawings and 3D CAD models to explore multiple design options.
• Creates functional and manufacturable designs from concept sketches by applying mechanical design approaches and parameters for physical production design; applying standard concepts, practices and procedures and using various metals, glass composites, elastomeric materials and plastics.
• Reviews design specifications and requirements and develops designs to best support them to include the design of user interface and electrical enclosures, and plastic and metal mechanical components, mechanisms, and assemblies.
• Works with domestic and international suppliers and manufacturers to procure and fabricate mechanical components.
• Leverages field-test data to understand and manage design trade-offs.
• Evaluates product quality by working closely with the Fi team and consulting with client’s engineering and manufacturing departments to confirm system and product capabilities, design and conduct research of mechanical systems, design feasibility and testing methods to test finished product and system capabilities, and confirm fabrication, assembly, and installation processes.
• Participates in the evaluation and troubleshooting of product performance issues.
• Tests and re-tests designs and systems to isolate problems with mechanical equipment, and re-engineers product when problems are found to bring product to full functionality.
• Provides technical engineering support.
• Uses SolidWorks software to design, evaluate, and archive product documentation.
• Creates detailed design schematics for various components of a project.
• Creates engineering package including BOM, assembly trees, parts list, etc. Page 2 | 3
