Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• Working knowledge of mechanical design, strength of materials, tolerancing, fabrication, assembly, design for manufacture, and structured problem solving.
• Proficiency with at least one 2D or 3D CAD platform.
• Demonstrated curiosity and learning agility to understand multiple product families, recognize application limits, and coordinate custom design product release with Supply Chain, Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, and Quality.

Responsabilités

• Review customer specifications, plans, site surveys, codes, order information, and application requirements.
• Identify missing information, product restrictions, technical risks, and required approvals.
• Support Arbon sales representatives, machine integrators, architects, Business Development Managers, Product Managers, and Customer Support.
• Explain product capabilities and limitations, assess application fit, interpret plans and specifications, create layouts and concepts to define ETO requirements.
• Develop new or revised designs using established engineering principles, calculations, materials, components, tolerances, and product guidelines while considering safety, quality, cost, availability, manufacturability, and serviceability.
• Create and revise 2D drawings, 3D models, layouts, approval drawings, installation information, and manufacturing documentation.
• Use SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Revit, or other platform and translate data between platforms when required.
• Create and maintain bills of material and engineering data for new or revised JD Edwards items.
• Verify descriptions, quantities, effectivity, and revisions with responsible business functions.
• Follow the ETO order process, including requirements and risk review, design review, drawing and bill-of-material readiness, PDM approval, MRP data readiness, quality requirements, and release authorization.
• Coordinate with Supply Chain, Operations, and Manufacturing Engineering to address materials, tooling, cost, lead time, sourcing risk, fabrication, assembly, work instructions, inspection, packaging, installation, and production readiness.
• Support prototypes, pilots, and ETO production. Resolve design, supplier, manufacturing, quality, and installation issues through documented changes and controlled re-release.
• Estimate product cost and engineering effort and communicate assumptions, exclusions, technical risk, and lead‑time impacts.
• Escalate work beyond established authority to Development Engineering, Sustaining Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Testing Services, Advanced Technology, or Product Support.
• Participate in design, supply chain readiness, production, testing, and continuous‑improvement reviews.
• Maintain traceable requirements, decisions, correspondence, calculations, drawings, costs, approvals, and change records.
