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…
Working Conditions Production factory support and office environment Minimal work- related travel may be required (approximately 15% or less) Physical Requirements Frequent standing, sitting and walking Frequent lifting up to 25 lbs., occasional heavier lifting Frequent computer work Work Hazards: Production floor environment will involve possible exposure to materials with rough edges, temperature extremes, moving mechanical parts, occasional flying debris, chemical cleaning solvents and their odors. Working with cryogenic products will involve possible exposure to pressurized flammable gas, pressurized oxidizing gas, pressurized inert gas and very low temperatures (-320º F).
