Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Designers are responsible for the mechanical engineering assessment, mechanical design concept creation and the mechanical design that is necessary to produce custom creative solutions to customers in a manufacturing and process controls driven environment.

• Executing work based on our business strategy and values
  
• Executing projects in a way that results in profitable, repeat business
  

• Generate Conception Solutions to new problems and projects
  

o Generate customer requirement definitions

o Develop design concept with customer constraints and requirements

o Manage Internal design process

o Interface and interact with DSI project stakeholders and Customer project stakeholders

o Concept presentations highlighting competitive advantages and ROI advantages to customers and stakeholders.

• Design
  

o Develop overall machine design concepts for custom designed equipment and systems.

o Own mechanical projects from initial concept through assembly and start up.

o Detailed machine design of custom automated tooling, fixtures, mechanisms, and robotic end of arm tooling.

o Selecting and integrating commercial components, sensors, servos, pneumatic actuators, robot arms, etc.

o Create detailed drawings and coordinate with external machine shops to fabricate machined parts, weldments, and sheet metal components.

o Proficient in performing detailed engineering analysis of custom mechanical components including robotic reach studies and component FEA.

• Manage
  
• Maintain / Update CAD Library
  

o Create standards and operational procedures for a mechanical design group

o Oversee build process, installation and validation of designed equipment

• Start-up
  

o Coordinate validation testing following build

o Inspect and ensure build and components made to design specifications.

o Coordinate logistical efforts necessary for integration

• Sales
  

o Contribute to developing conceptual design drawings, estimates and proposals

o Generate cost proposals based on conceptual development with cost analysis.

o Identify new features on existing projects that customers may want to purchase

o Identify new projects that might enhance the customer’s operations

You will add the most value at DSI if you continually demonstrate the following Work Habits:

• Consult - Identify value added solutions resulting in greater client satisfaction and increased revenue. Be personally involved in the client�s activities and decisions. Mentor others.
  
• Communicate - Influence others to adopt a course of action. Obtain a common understanding of a problem, gain commitment and resolves issues. Manage communication flow internally and externally.
  
• Solve Problems - Create multiple innovative solutions using a collaborative approach. Analyze, select and implement the optimal solution. Apply previous lessons learned.
  
• Plan - Determine and list in detail what project and non-project work you want to accomplish each month, each week and each day.
  
• Get the Details - Coach others to ensure quality on every project. Look for ways to improve and promote quality throughout the company.
  
• Be Efficient - Delegate tasks and assignments with a focus on applying resources to meet, and often exceed, productivity and quality standards. Keep a long-term perspective by finding opportunities to increase future efficiency, in addition to meeting short-term goals.
  
• Learn Continuously - Strive to continuously build knowledge and skills in self and others. Create opportunities to regularly teach others (experiences, whitepapers, lunch & learns, etc.). Ask the �Why†questions.
  
• Show Initiative - Demonstrate a motivation to excel, take independent actions and calculated risks based on your knowledge and understanding of our vision, values and strategy. Focus on Proactive efforts over Reactive efforts.
  
• Lead Others - Inspire and motivate others while focusing on larger priorities. Coach team members and provide guidance to achieve long-term results.
  
• Think Critically - Use logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems.
  
• Make Decisions - Consider the relative costs and benefits of potential actions to choose the most appropriate one based on your knowledge of our vision, values and strategy.
  
• Demonstrate Grit - Do what is needed to get the job done.
  
• Work with Others - Create teams, set the direction and serve as an advisor while fostering commitment, collaboration and accountability. Use delegation as a development tool.
