Develops and recommends solutions to well-defined engineering requirements, or for components or segments of a complex product or system, to ensure that design objectives are met. Applies engineering principles based on assigned engineering domain (e.g. mechanical; electrical, chemical, etc).

Responsibilities

Scope/ Supervision and Interaction:

Has Direct Reports X Does Not Have Direct Reports
Primarily internal Parker contacts and with cross-functional teams; occasional customer interface.

Essential Functions

Develops detailed product specifications by analyzing performance and customer requirements. Investigates design factors such as function, materials, performance, interchangeability, cost, operational efficiency, and contractual requirements.

Support new process development projects, including planning, coordination, execution, testing, documentation, and communication of project status.

Provide engineering ownership and sustaining support for existing product lines within the division.

Performs feasibility and trade studies applying standard analytical methods; recommends solutions which are defined and reviewed for implementation.

Interprets and validates test results for accuracy and precision. Ensures conformance to product qualification procedures and parameters to achieve customer and product reliability and safety standards. May utilize and interpret predictive models to simulate and verify design concepts.

Provides technical information for review with product engineering teams using established engineering practices, standards, and documentation methods (e.g. structured design process; customer design reviews). Writes supporting documentation for procedures and technical reports; may assist in writing technical proposals for customers.

Contributes to the completion milestones associated with specific projects (e.g. create functional diagrams and system layouts; review detailed drawings and schematics; define data structure, interfaces and programming logic; analyze material requirements; research customer data item requirements).

Reviews product specifications to ensure clarity, completeness, form, fit, function, and conformity to standards and procedures. Identifies design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and recommends revisions, engineering change orders, and improvements to engineering management or the project team.

Maintains current level of professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reviewing technical publications, and/or participating in professional associations.

Shares specialized knowledge with others. Assists in mentoring new employees. May represent the company on specific projects or engineering tasks.
