Duties and Responsibilities

• Performs project planning and manages project resources, including multiple individuals and disciplines, to achieve quality, delivery, and cost objectives.
• Conducts research and development experiments to resolve complex engineering and quality problems involving highly technical, scientific methods.
• Writes technical reports on results and conclusions drawn from experiments conducted and incorporates findings in formal specifications.
• Translates design agency concepts into production items by coordinating the activities of engineering, quality, manufacturing, and related organizations.
• Estimates set-up times, flowtimes, costs of production and acceptance equipment, and compiles cost estimates and delivery quotations, monitors performance, and prepares reports, statistics, and recommendations for management review.
• Participates in establishing operating procedures on new products and components.
• Defines and recommends new designs, design changes, and alternate designs of instruments, and test equipment, and orders tooling, gaging, and equipment necessary to assure product quality.
• Plans and performs engineering testing and development programs and uses advanced statistical and scientific methods to address and resolve critical engineering and production problems to assure product manufacturability/inspections.
• Originates, refines, and releases complex manufacturing or inspection work directions.
• Determines acceptability of processes and materials in conjunction with customers, design agency and other affected organizations.
• Interacts with customers, design agency and/or supplier counterparts to resolve moderate to complex design, development, production, and acceptance issues.
• Based on research, applies, develops, and recommends innovative methodologies and technologies which are equal to the industry's state of the art to resolve processing, inspection, and design problems.
• Provides technical consultation to management and others and leads technical project teams.
• Evaluates and implements innovations and technological advances that improve quality, reduce flowtime, improve productivity, and enhance operational surety.
• Performs highly complex calibration and measurement services, recommends changes in calibration procedures to improve services, and solves special measurement problems.
• Leads, trains and mentors Engineer I and II on various test processes and procedures.
• Conducts activities in a safe and healthy manner and works in accordance with established HS&E requirements to ensure the protection of employees, the public, and the environment.
• Takes actions necessary to "stop" work when an unsafe condition or action is identified. Every employee has the right and responsibility to stop work when unsafe conditions or actions are identified.
