Org Marketing Statement

This opportunity is specific to Parker's Electronic Controls & Motion Division (ECM), an exciting and fast-paced environment providing technologies that create and control motion to customers across a wide range of applications and industries. This critical position allows you to become part of a team that aligns products and worldwide engineering and manufacturing capabilities to build our presence in a growing electrification space. ECM brings together decades of controls and electronics design and manufacturing expertise with significant growth opportunities presented by our mobile electrification and industrial efforts.

Position Summary

The Mechanical Designer/Engineer is responsible for all aspects of the mechanical design of products, including electronic controllers, displays, sensors and other devices. Product assemblies typically include complex injection molded plastic parts or die-cast aluminum parts, plus other mechanical (and electronic) parts/materials. Mechanical designers/engineers are responsible for supporting and improving existing products and resolving customer and production issues that arise.

Responsibilities

• Analyze mechanical design related field failures and manufacturing problems, to determine root cause and implement corrective actions.

• Produce fully detailed design documentation, including 3D CAD assembly and part models, plus 2D CAD drawings, artworks, and renderings, using PTC Creo, SolidWorks software and other CAD tools
