Investigate existing products for application and integration of beneficial improvements, innovations, or mechatronic system applications. Technical: Manage the technical details of the design process including the suppliers, research support, and customer interface. Support project proposals, estimates, and schedules. Lead research work, promote innovation, develop testing requirements, and make presentations for projects, status, and results.Simulation Analysis: Prepare simulations (MATLAB) of mechanical systems (hydraulic, pneumatic, kinematic, or elastomeric) for performance validation. Investigate degraded conditions or poor performance characteristics and failsafe designs. Testing: Define test procedures and experiments. Perform testing to evaluate system performance, calibration, validation, research, and troubleshoot systems. Create new and modified designs, 3D models, 2D drawings, Bill of Material, and drawing changes across several product lines. Coordinate with project engineer, test lab, and manufacturing to update drawings and ensure timely drawing release through document control system. Define and manage design features for structural, non-structural, hardware, interface control, materials, and finishes to produce 2D drawings for fabrication, inspection, and procurement. Define the appropriate materials, tempers, forms, welding, casting, forging, tolerances, and hardware for fabrication and cost-effective manufacturing.Prepare documentation, analysis, test reports, specifications, etc. to be submitted to customers or FAA for aircraft certification purposes.Participate in preparing technical proposals. Participate in design reviews.Report and present projects findings to staff and customers.Support production and MRB activities.Travel occasionally.
