• Performs routine design and supports development of assigned products (e.g., new mechanical or electromechanical components, subsystems, and systems) by applying basic engineering principles and established analytical tools.
• Investigates product development factors such as ease of manufacture, availability of materials and equipment, interchangeability, strength-weight efficiency, contractual specification requirements, cost-defining recommendations, and change proposals.
• Completes defined technical tasks (e.g., modify product functional specifications, detailed drawings and schematics; define data elements and structure; analyze and interpret test reports).
• Develops reports and documentation in response to technical information requests.
• Designs and builds manufacturing assembly and test fixtures for production environments.
• Conducts routine analyses and/or tests to evaluate product designs, methods, materials, or processes.
• Completes required technical documentation by applying engineering principles and company standards, and generating reports, procedures, or change proposals as required.
• Provides technical information for review with product engineering and design review teams.
• Consistently applies established engineering practices, standards, and documentation methods.
• Contributes to supporting documentation for procedures and technical reports.
• Adopts lean product development and standard engineering development and techniques.
• Maintains professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reviewing technical publications, and/or participating in professional associations.
• May include cross-functional or project team responsibilities.
• Contributes and supports other teams or individuals as needed.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Fundamental knowledge of engineering domain principles, concepts, and techniques.
• General knowledge of industry products, customers, and related legal/regulatory requirements.
• Fundamental knowledge of and use of basic engineering design and analysis tools (e.g., computer-aided design programs).
• Learns and utilizes specialized engineering databases; may require programming skills.
• Develops familiarity with products and customer specifications and standards applicable to assigned product line or system.

Qualifications

• Bachelor degree (BS) in an engineering or science technical discipline, or Professional Engineer (PE) certificate.
• May have limited prior industry experience or have worked with direction in student internship programs.
• Ability to communicate status of technical tasks and actions taken with clarity and precision.
• Ability to work with general direction and instruction regarding the scope of assignments; determines the priority and order of assignments; and applies judgment in selecting procedures and techniques.
• Ability to read, analyze, and interpret technical journals and reports.
• Ability to present findings and information in both formal meetings and informally within and across Parker teams.
