• Develop designs that ensure reliability, compliance to industry standards, and conformance to applicable industry standards.
• Provide adequate design detail for production. Ensure part numbers are accurate and provided for key components. Show internal construction details to a degree that allows for semi-skilled labor to construct and assemble the design without being overly burdensome to engineering.
• Assist operations with alternate components designs / suppliers when availability of specified or approved component becomes problematic for reasons such as lead time or availability.
• Stay abreast of the latest component technology, test methods, and applicable industry standards and incorporate into designs as required and advantageous for safety, cost, etc.
