** Summary*
* The Senior Manager, Mechanical Design Engineering is responsible for leading and managing the employees who develop new mechanical systems/modules and maintain existing designs. Research mechanical concepts and create system solutions using 3D modeling and simulation software. Complete calculations and test, validate, and qualify their systems and make adjustments as needed. Provide support throughout the manufacturing process of the mechanical system that they have designed.

The Senior Manager, Mechanical Design Engineering manages cross functional teams of other engineers, customers, supply chain and project leadership to ensure robust and high quality product development.  Enhance designs with feedback from reviews in areas such as manufacturing, test, supply chain, reliability, industrial design and simulations.

** Detailed Description*
* Performs tasks such as, but not limited to, the following:

+ Lead the design, development and implementation of technical solutions for complex projects, involving multiple domains. Participate in project planning and scheduling.

+ Take responsibility for non-technical elements of an engineering project (people, financials etc.)

+ Review and interpret customer specifications and may act as primary customer contact.

+ Analyze trade-offs in complex systems and recommend solutions. Develop deployment strategies and plans.

+ Lead the deployment of strategic technologies/programs and coordinate global deployment efforts.

+ May manage relationships with key vendors/partners.

+ Prepare calculations on the proposed solution before completing technical drawings

+ Design, modify and implement systems that meet customer and Celestica needs.

E.g. Sketch and draw up designs using input from other engineers, requirements and input from design review (DFx) team

+ Create designs in line with company procedure, regulations and client standards

+ Submit drawings to management, engineering teams and customers for review.

+ Use customer feedback and data to upgrade, improve or repair the company's existing machines

+ Provide support during the manufacturing process
