Job duties:

• Use highly developed engineering expertise and project management abilities to contribute to the design and development of new products and support of existing products within the Power Tools department.
• Serve as a chief technical resource and mechanical engineering leader on mid/high complexity Power Tool New Product Development projects.
• Develop design solutions to meet consumer requirements.
• Conduct field research to understand end user needs. Translate end user needs into concrete engineering specifications.
• Facilitate project flow involving regular contact with manufacturing and other cross-functional team members.
• Provide clear engineering information to Project Leaders and the Global Engineering teams facilitating trade off decisions.
• Interact with suppliers to develop part/product specifications that meet performance requirements while falling within process capabilities.
• Evaluate product design relative to material selection, cost, and reliability.
• Mechanical stress analysis, material and heat treatment selection, tolerance and fit analyses, lubrication, spur and helical gear design, statics and dynamics, noise and vibration and a variety of machine element design.
• Establish test regimens for components and assemblies within area of scope in the project with minimal guidance. Deliver complete data analysis to support design recommendations.
• Independently develop, write, and analyze testing reports in internal laboratory.
• Serve as a technical resource on areas of expertise and provide consultation/mentorship to others.
• May serve as front line manager to mechanical designers and mechanical design engineers.
• Plan and track projects to work-breakdown-structure and project schedule.
• Execute a wide variety of calculations and software aided analyses in the following areas: fluid dynamics, electromechanical system thermodynamics, mechanical stress analysis, multi-body dynamics/drop test simulations, tolerance stack analyses, gearing design, sound and vibration/response of dynamic systems, and mechanism development and analysis.
