Résumé du poste

Rite-Hite seeks an Applications Engineer to translate customer, sales, and product requirements into detailed designs using CAD tools and ERP data. You will produce 2D/3D drawings, BOMs, and installation documents while coordinating with Supply Chain, Operations, and Product Management to ensure manufacturability and on-time releases.

The role emphasizes cross-functional collaboration, cost-conscious design, and the ability to travel up to 10% for jobsites or suppliers.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
• 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.

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 product-specific 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, supplier capability, 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. Travel to jobsites, suppliers, manufacturing locations, or customers may be required, including occasional overnight travel, up to 10%.
