This high impact role is involved in the design and development of underground cable accessories, transformer components, and overhead fuses and switches. In this role, creativity and innovation are focused on developing new electro-mechanical product solutions for application on electrical power systems. This position works directly with a broad set of technologies involving polymers, castings, metal fabrications, metal alloys and circuit interruption. Assignments range in scope from high level system concepts to detailed sub-system development and analysis. This role is a key contributor to cross functional project teams that push concepts through a formal project process. In addition to contributing to project teams it is expected that this role has the ability to lead and execute small projects or serve as a core team member on large projects. Primary duties include; planning (work breakdown), risk analysis, product design, design analysis, prototyping, verification and reliability test planning and execution.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

• Develop work processes and durations for completing assigned project tasks with the ability to identify critical dependencies and risks.
• Creatively and efficiently solve design challenges by understanding the elements within a design that are critical for success, while eliminating the non-value added elements.
• Develop complex 3D models. Analyze "Digital Prototypes" using CAE tools such as FEA and Dynamic Simulation.
• Learn and master new design tools and processes. Then have the ability teach others within the engineering department.
• Ability to translate internal and external customer requirements into measurable performance criteria, as well as, being able to identify and resolve poorly defined or missing requirements.
• Design for Cost/Design for Manufacture Analysis (DFM/DFA) on individual parts, subassemblies with the ability to propose alternate materials and methods of assembly and manufacture.
