Great opportunity to join a rapidly growing Machining company, working with state-of-the-art technology! The Project Engineer oversees all mechanical engineering aspects of a project from start to finish, ensuring technical solutions meet project requirements such as scope, metrics, budget, and schedule. The Project Engineer leads and guides a team of mechanical engineers to achieve project goals.
Primary Function and Scope:
- Researches and analyzes data including customer request for quote, customer specifications, and proposal’s to develop or determine feasibility of design or application.
- Concept layout of complete system and capitalize on common design for efficiency.
- Work within time constraints, schedule constraints, and overall machine budget constraints.
- Work in a collaborative environment to make sure the designs developed are the most cost effective and will meet the customer requirements.
- Develop a plan to meet the project schedule and budget. Collaborate with the engineers to provide accurate ETC and completion dates.
- Determine and provide job breakdown (WBS) to Project Manager.
- Manages design budgets and scheduling for project. Reviews and reallocates resources with input from the Mechanical Engineering Manager as needed.
- Act as the Project Engineer for projects ranging from $100K - $5M.
- Develop/review concepts to confirm the design will meet required performance metrics including cycle time, yield, uptime, CPK and Gage R&R.
- Develop timing chart to ensure contracted cycle time can be maintained.
- Design mechanisms, stations, machines using 3D modeling software (SolidWorks).
- Specifies and obtains competitive quotes from multiple vendors for major purchased components.
- Compare quotes received to project budget identifying discrepancies and communicate those discrepancies to Project Management for resolution.
- Create detailed fabrication drawings for all custom designed parts.
- Create detailed assembly drawings identifying each individual component.
- Create a complete Bill of Material for each design/station.
- Release completed designs to Project Management
