• Creation of requirements/specifications, product specifications and development reports.
• Design and dimensioning (analytical, if necessary numerical) of components in the area of steel, aluminum, welded-, bent- and sheet metal constructions.
• Project work in interdisciplinary teams for the holistic, joint definition of components (purchasing, quality, service, assembly, etc.)
• Review of work results from other internal or external design engineers.
• Collaboration in cost-down teams and programs to optimize components.
• CAD modeling and drawing creation with NX-Unigraphics.
• Product data management within Teamcenter 14.
• If necessary, evaluation and processing of quality issues in the area of responsibility.
