Mechanical Engineer

Job Summary:

The person in this position is primarily responsible for performing mechanical design engineering in the development and support of OPW Vehicle Wash Solutions (OPW VWS) vehicle wash products. This job includes concept generation and evaluation, design development, analysis, test planning and conduction, product specification and selection, and documentation. This is conducted under the guidance of the Lifecycle Engineering Manager and other senior engineering staff and at times involves leadership of projects.

Major Responsibilities/Activities:

• Provide creative and innovative mechanical solutions to meet design specifications and solve problems with new and existing designs.
• Design static and dynamic mechanical components and systems incorporating job shop fabrication and machining techniques, and outsourced components in a Lean manufacturing environment. Design components for function and aesthetics using molded plastics.
• Design, identify, select, and evaluate components and assemblies based on cost, quality, performance, and vendor performance.
• Perform designs and generate design output in accordance with customer requirements, project scope requirements, and safety and regulatory requirements such as ETL, UL, cUL, and CE.
• Participate in the research of new technologies for OPW VWS and evaluate these for adoption into designs.
• Contribute to the development of technical content requirements in the generation of project scopes.
• Initiate and conduct and document design reviews at appropriate points in the design process including appropriate representatives from OPW VWS departments. Review own and others' product designs for compliance with engineering principles, company standards, and customer requirements, and related specifications.
• Work with all relevant departments such as Operations, Production Engineering, Marketing, and Sales personnel through the development, release, and support of OPW VWS products. Handle changes and problems related to project assigned.
• Participate in all engineering ISO 9001 quality processes from establishing customer's requirements to releasing products for sale.
• Analyze and evaluate system designs using techniques such as advanced calculation, 3D solid modeling, Finite Element Analysis, and physical testing.
• Use higher level engineering principles (statics, dynamics, strength of materials, heat transfer, fluid flow and control, thermodynamics, etc.) to assist in and in some cases make design decisions in the development of own designs as well as in the role of evaluator of designs generated by others.
• Utilize engineering sketches, layouts, and concept modeling to determine validity of early design concepts through the evaluation of factors such as size, shape, weight, surface area, arrangement of parts for ease of assembly and service, functional clearances and tolerances, mechanical leverage and component interaction.
• Utilize engineering principles to evaluate feasibility of ideas and concepts and generate analysis to support recommendations.
• Utilize engineering principles to manage risk in proceeding with design concepts during the design change and development process.
• Evaluate the cost of designs from a component cost, assembly time, reliability cost, and quality standpoint to make design decisions and recommendations that maximize profitability to OPW VWS and value to the customer.
• Act as a technical expert for the company for internal and at times external customers. Provide engineering consultation as needed including but not limited to analysis, opinion, and basic to advanced calculation.
• Lead and conduct component and system testing to confirm and evaluate design compliance with specifications. At times participate in a hands-on manner in the building of prototypes for design development.
• Generate design, product and other appropriate documents needed to verify and communicate design, including but not limited to test plans, parts lists, engineering design specifications, solid model parts and assemblies, and drawing specifications.
• Generate and review product manuals using clearly communicated technical documentation techniques appropriate to the user of the manual.
• Perform and prepare technical studies and test plans for component and system verification.
• Generate new bills of material (BOM) for designs and coordinate changes to these throughout the evolution of a design/product.
• Provide engineering support to production and assembly areas.
• May directly communicate with customers to understand and define their needs and/or address technical issues.

Education Requirements:

• Bachelor's of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering required.

Experience Requirements:

• 2 years experience working in a machine design environment applying mass manufacturing techniques preferred.
• Project management experience.
• Ability to make technical presentations internally and at times to external customers.
• Drives for continual improvement of self, products, and processes and the motivation to get the job done and willingness to regularly put forth the extra effort to do so."
• Proficiency with/Understanding basic statics, dynamics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanic calculations is required.
• Must possess experience in the application and understanding of engineering materials, including plastics.
• Proficiency with interpreting and generating fluid control schematics is required.
• Demonstrated experience in mechanical CAD (Solidworks or other) displaying proficient application of engineering drawing communication techniques is required.
• Proficiency in the use of Oracle manufacturing or other ERP software is preferred.
• Proficiency with analysis tools such as Finite Element processes and software.
