About this role
Ensuring Chart’s Success…
What Will You Do?
- Serve as technical subject matter expert for the product line.
- Work with product managers, sales, and customers to determine product needs and refine into technical specifications.
- Engage with product managers, R&D, and product development teams to help define and execute the product line roadmap.
- Own product design and documentation (component selection, material specification, bills of material, drawings, technical sales literature, etc.) and ensure manufacturing documentation (work instructions, labor routing) is complete and accurate.
- Create and process engineering change requests (ECO/ECR) and temporary design deviations to document changes to product design and documentation.
- Evolve the product line by championing (or supporting) new product development (stage gate process) and continuous improvement projects to improve product performance, reduce cost, improve manufacturability, improve quality, etc.
- Ensure design outputs and solutions employed (for components, assemblies, final products) meet all required internal and external specifications, industry codes and regulations (e.g. CGA, ASME, DOT), etc.
- Lead, or participate in, risk analysis activities (DFMEA).
- Manage definition, prioritization, and delegation of tasks to shared engineering resources (e.g. design team, analysis team, etc.).
- Create, manage, and communicate basic timelines for completion of critical tasks and projects (using Gantt charts, as necessary).
- Create, or support creation of, design validation test plans and (as-required) conduct testing on components, assemblies, and final products.
- Improve product consistency and reduce variance and warranty claims by working across the organization to identify and resolve potential defects.
- Ensure consistent utilization of best practices in engineering design and continuous improvement of those processes.
Your Physical Work Environment Will Require…
