key responsibilities:
-ability to capture and specify the design requirements.
-research concept ideas using mathematical modeling to work out whether new developments and innovations would work and be cost-effective.
-analyze the engineering and project input in order to interrogate it, reach an agreement, and integrate it formally in a design solution.
-produce design ideas, based on research, into technical plans for prototypes using computer-aided design (cad) and computer-assisted engineering (cae) software.
-attend design reviews to present design ideas and to discuss and critique alternative design solutions.
-cost proposals.
-analyze and manage multiple design-related issues to identify the root causes.
-make design changes to existing products
-track design changes
-control of bill of materials (bom), cad models and engineering drawings
-support process improvement activities
-support technical staff and/or junior engineers
-write reports and present progress at project meetings and to clients
-achieve goals within budget.
-conduct benchmarking studies to determine best practices/designs and future trends.
-undertake continuous training and development
-independently determine the approach and assigned tasks
