Engineering - R&D Engineer 3

Under limited direction, perform a variety of complex engineering assignments requiring in-depth knowledge of a specific engineering discipline plus an understanding of related disciplines to cost effectively achieve objectives. Assignments typically require the use of advanced and innovative techniques. Proactively seek and implement initiatives to improve operations and increase customer satisfaction. Typical duties/responsibilities for engineering may include, but are not limited to, the following: Design, analyze, and evaluate systems, products, or components, requiring a high degree of technical expertise. Design and develop complex models or simulations and apply advanced computer programs, analytical techniques, or control strategies to effectively meet requirements and resolve problems. Act as principal investigator or lead a group of engineers investigating problems, developing solutions, and preparing related recommendations and reports. Represent the group in meetings and conferences; interact with customers to resolve significant technical issues and develop related action plans. Complexity of Tasks: Requires thorough knowledge of a specific engineering discipline plus an understanding of related disciplines to coordinate activities, analyze and resolve problems crossing disciplines and to develop new concepts for programs. Technical input, recommendations, and decisions may impact the organization's effectiveness and customer relations. Requires ability to interface effectively, internally and with customers. Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in an engineering or related field plus 5 to 8 years of experience; alternatively, a special combination of education and experience and/or demonstrated accomplishments.

Essential Functions:

The Engineer will be responsible for the design, development, and manufacturing implementation of engineering programs that meet business standards and program / product requirements
