Manager Mechanical Engineering

Job Description

SUMMARYResponsible for developing and testing solutions to solve technical problems in research and development, manufacturing, sales, construction, inspection, and maintenance. Assists engineers, inspects products, conducts tests, and collects data.Job Duties:Mechanical engineering technicians typically do the following:Evaluate drawing designs for new or changed tools by measuring dimensions on the drawing and comparing them with the original specificationsPrepare layouts and drawings of parts to be made and the process for putting them togetherDiscuss changes with co workers for example, in the design of the part, in the way it will be made and put together, and in the techniques and process they will useReview instructions and blueprints for the project to ensure the test specifications, procedures, and objectivesPlan, make, and put together new or changed mechanical parts for products, such as industrial machinery or equipmentSet up and conduct tests of complete units and of parts as they would really be used, as a way to investigate proposals for improving equipment performanceRecord test procedures and results, numerical and graphical data, and recommendations for changes in product or test methodsAnalyze test results in regarding design specifications and test objectivesCareer OverviewMechanical engineering technicians help mechanical engineers design, develop, test, and manufacture mechanical devices, including tools, engines, and machines. They may make sketches and rough layouts, record and analyze data, make calculations and estimates, and report their findings.DUTIESMechanical engineering technicians typically do the following:Evaluate design drawings for new or changed tools by measuring dimensions on the drawings and comparing them with the original specificationsPrepare layouts and drawings of parts to be made and of the process for putting them togetherDiscuss changes with coworkers for example, in the design of the part, in the way it will be made and put together, and in the techniques and process they will useReview instructions and blueprints for the project to ensure the test specifications and procedures are followed and objectives are metPlan, produce, and assemble new or changed mechanical parts for products, such as industrial machinery or equipmentSet up and conduct tests of complete units and of parts as they would actually be used, as a way to investigate proposals for improving equipment performanceRecord test procedures and results, numerical and graphical data, and recommendations for changes in products or test methodsCompare test results to design specifications and test objectivesMechanical engineering technicians also estimate labor costs, equipment life, and plant space. Some test and inspect machines and equipment or work with engineers to eliminate production problems. They may assist in testing products by, for example, setting up instrumentation for vehicle crash tests.IMPORTANT QUALITIESCommunication skills.Mechanical engineering technicians must be able to clearly understand and follow instructions or, if they do not understand, ask their supervisors to explain. They must be able to clearly explain the need for changes in designs or test procedures both verbally and in writing.Creativity.Mechanical engineering technicians help mechanical engineers bring their plans and designs to life. This often requires helping the engineer to overcome problems that might not have been anticipated.Detail oriented.Mechanical engineering technicians must make precise measurements and keep accurate records for mechanical engineers.Interpersonal skills.Mechanical engineering technicians must be able to take instructions and offer advice when it is needed.Math skills.Mechanical engineering technicians use mathematics for analysis, design, and troubleshooting in their work.Mechanical skills.Mechanical engineering technicians must apply theory and instructions from engineers by making new components for industrial machinery or equipment. They may need to be able to operate machinery such as drill presses, grinders, and engine lathes.
