Applied Technology Engineer - Experimental (Hybrid)

Applied Technology Engineer - Experimental (Hybrid)

Description

This applied science position conducts experiments via third party and in-house tools to determine structural performance of components and systems. The results from the experiments are used to determine the validity of the design to meet the customer requirements. Design recommendations are then provided as needed.

Investigates product and system problems, understands causal mechanisms, recommends appropriate action, owns problem resolution and documents results with guidance from more experienced team members

Main focus is on the execution and improvement of established processes primarily documented in detailed local and global work instructions (EPs) that are required in Engineering Standard Work (ESW) and/or Design Validation Plans (DVP&R). This is accomplished through standard, as well as development of specialized experimental tools and methods that are required to support the Design and Validation processes and enable high confidence decision making.

Obtains input from Design, Thermal Sciences, Materials and Product Validation groups and delivers key structural performance measurements like motion, load, natural frequencies, stress, design margin, life, sound power to Design and Product Validation.

Uses formal training like Statics, Dynamics, Machine Design, Mechanics of Materials, Failure Analysis, Engineering Materials and others along with test and measurement results to make Design decisions of structural performance of components and systems. Has ownership of problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems or services with a greater degree of technical complexity and ambiguity over the entry level engineer and with greater accountability to the project team.

Owns problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems or services with a greater degree of technical complexity and ambiguity over the entry level engineer level and with greater accountability to the project team.

Provides independent execution of established work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge; engages with the improvement of systems and processes.

Involves minimal direct management of people, but could involve the coordination and direction of work amongst technicians and/or temporary student employees.

Contributes effectively toward team goals, exhibits influence within a work group and continues to develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.
