Design Engineer

Mission:

The Design Engineer will primarily lead and coordinate the design activities linked to new product development design projects, as well as continuous improvement and support of existing products. They develop the overall product concept and ensure that Engineering Best Practices are fulfilled during the development process.

Primary Responsibilities:

• 
  
  
  

  • Lead, organize and coordinate the project team during all project phases, following the Concept-to-Product procedures. Act as project leader during the functional and production prototype phases of the development process. Work with marketing production, service, lab and purchasing to ensure a high-quality, cost-effective design.

  
  
  
  

  • Represent the Engineering Department on the project team and be the representative of the project in the Engineering Department

  
  
  
  

  • Research and implement innovative technical solutions to achieve project objectives

  
  
  
  

  • Contribute to the construction of the project master specification

  
  
  
  

  • Take an active part in the engineering team to support the release of all engineering deliverables linked to the project

  
  
  
  

  • Perform the design work with designer(s) as necessary

  
  
  
  

  • Perform design work of the reciprocating compressor system and system components, such as the inlet filter, after-cooler, air or gas piping system, oil system, electrical controls and related pneumatic and fluid dynamic controls etc. This design shall include the related heat balance analysis, fluid dynamic analysis, strength analysis and any other necessary analysis.

  
  
  
  

  • Create project drawings and documents such as electrical schematics, general arrangements, piping and instrumentation diagrams, bills of materials, etc.

  
  
  
  

  • Review and check documents and drawings completed by designers, and take the responsibility for the design

  
  
  
  

  • Understand the engineering economics and conduct the efficiency and cost and reliability analysis

  
  
  
  

  • Establish and release the most efficient Product Bill of Materials model

  
  
  
  

  • Actively involve the product innovation team and communicate any necessary information from the end users for the purpose of product innovation

  
  
  
  

  • Complete any mechanical engineering related tasks assigned by his or her supervisor

  
  
  
  

  • Perform follow-up tests in the laboratory
