Core Duties & Responsibilities
As a ME III, you will produce and develop design concepts from basic specifications with limited supervision and transform these concepts into working engineering solutions. You will create manufacturing detail drawings that incorporate limits and fits, welding symbols, geometric tolerances, and surface finishes, as well as provide full engineering calculations to support designs.
Other responsibilities include providing technical files in accordance with contract and quality program requirements, specifying components and systems based on calculations and practical experience, and supporting change control and variations within contracts. You will also collaborate with a design team and interact with other engineering disciplines.
You will use your expertise to support project engineering leads and project managers with technical knowledge, ensuring adherence to established processes and procedures. Additionally, assisting business development with quotations, driving cost-saving innovations to reduce design time, and managing CAD data and documentation are key aspects of the position.
Qualifications & Experience
Primarily an office environment with work periodically performed in the fabrication/machine shop and outdoor testing areas. Depending on the project, there may be occasional travel to customer job sites. JFT has implemented a 9/80 work schedule, and the office is closed every other Friday.
