for test (DFT) objectives.
- Evaluate and analyze designs to assure technical
soundness.
- Prepare technical documents and reports. Prepare sub-system and
module performance specifications. Prepare engineering
specifications for major component purchases. Design engineering
breadboards and prototypes. Evaluate engineering breadboards and
prototypes and translate experimental results into design
criteria.
- Lead or conduct experiments/tests to determine operating
characteristics of breadboards, prototypes, products, or
processes.
- Ensure that sound engineering principles are applied in
laboratory or pilot plant work.
- Assist manufacturing in the transition from development into
production. Provide technical support as required during
manufacturing, for example by resolving design related issues or by
identifying replacement or substitute components. Specify phases of
tests, investigation, or analysis. Write ECO's.
- Prepare reports of and write technical instructions for field
tests or installations as required.
- Assist in troubleshooting customer application problems.
- Conduct field testing and research for new applications as
required.
- Contribute to engineering project planning and tracking. Plan
specific tasks for new projects. Estimate effort for and duration
of specific tasks on a program. Assist in preparing cost estimates
on proposed design products. Evaluate project feasibility and
risks.
- Responsible for successful completion (schedule, performance,
and cost) of tasks and designs, and for communicating status,
schedule conflicts, resource needs to the program manager,
functional manager, and/or lead engineer.
- Participate in preparing proposals for new projects.
- On a project or on-going basis, provide technical direction to
other engineering personnel, primarily technicians.
