Develop detailed design plans and specifications for mechanical components or systems. Use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create and revise engineering drawings. Perform stress analysis and simulations to ensure the integrity and safety of designs. Prototyping and Testing:
Build prototypes of mechanical systems or products for testing and evaluation. Conduct experiments and tests to assess performance, reliability, and safety. Analyze test data and make necessary design modifications. Materials and Manufacturing:
Select appropriate materials for specific applications. Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure designs can be produced efficiently and cost-effectively. Evaluate and improve manufacturing processes. Project Management:
Manage project timelines, budgets, and resources. Coordinate with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, industrial designers, and software developers. Ensure projects are completed on time and within budget. Documentation:
Maintain accurate records of design and testing processes. Prepare technical reports and documentation for internal and external stakeholders. Create user manuals and assembly instructions. Compliance and Regulations:
Stay up-to-date with industry standards and regulations. Ensure designs meet safety, environmental, and quality standards. Problem Solving:
Identify and solve complex engineering problems. Troubleshoot issues in existing mechanical systems or products. Continuous Improvement:
Continuously research and adopt new technologies and best practices. Seek opportunities to enhance product performance and reduce costs.
