Mechanical Engineer I

A day in the life of a Mechanical Engineer I includes collaborating with engineering on desired production tooling and build-plan methodology and giving input/feedback on associated design criteria; analyzing engineering design to determine manufacturability of components and assemblies. The role also involves guiding and determining manufacturing processes, tooling methodology, discrete manufacturing operations and associated time standards to be used to produce new parts/assemblies from detail component fabrication thru job-level installation;

authoring and maintaining process plans for shop floor methods/work instructions. Additionally, the role includes developing learning curve and actual hour projections for new program production incorporation; analyzing actual performance and making necessary process improvement recommendations. The engineer oversees the process to create manufacturing Bill of Material (MBOM) to break engineering product structure into logical manufacturing methodology and sequence to enable MRP processes for order release, scheduling, and purchased component sourcing activities.

They provide technical guidance to initiate and drive Root Cause / Corrective Action (RCCA) on production issues related to engineering design, material, tooling, specifications and processes. The role also involves analyzing/interpreting engineering drawing, manufacturing operation sequence, tooling function, and process specifications and issues engineering change requests (ECR). Finally, the engineer ensures processes and procedures are in compliance with regulations and performs other job-related duties as assigned by management.
