Engineering Technician

AnEngineering Technician supports engineers by assisting in the development, testing, and maintenance of products andsystems. Their responsibilities include setting up and operating equipment, conducting experiments, building prototypes, andcollecting data to ensure products meet quality and performance standards. They also troubleshoot and repair technical issues,maintain detailed records of their work, and prepare reports to communicate findings to the engineering team. EngineeringTechnicians often collaborate with engineers to implement design changes and improvements. Strong technical skills, attentionto detail, and the ability to follow complex instructions are essential for success in this role.

What You'll Do

• Assist engineering with the creation and documentation of new designs including concept, design, and development ofmechanical and electrical components.

• Provide information to support costing activities for internally designed and customer designed solutions.

• Coordinate prototyping with internal and external partners to deliver products to the customer expectations.

• Coordinate purchasing raw materials to support prototype manufacturing as required.

• Support the purchase and ongoing calibration of engineering equipment used in prototype manufacturing.

• Ensure ongoing maintenance of engineering equipment as well as maintaining the cleanliness of the lab areas.

• Communicate risks or delays in the completion of customer prototypes.

• Conduct or assist with the testing of new product prototypes to verify product and its conformance to specifications.

• Work with engineering staff on process development and process validation activities.

• Assist in the transfer of designs, processes, and equipment into production.

• Create and process ECNs/ECOs, as required, to ensure documentation is released, controlled, and remains accurate.

• Review and prepare drawings, establish product standards and specifications, and ensure documentation is accurate.

• Review and provide input on engineering designs for accuracy, feasibility, economics, and conformance to best engineeringpractice.

• Complete reverse engineering activities to determine product specifications and materials.

• Understand industry standards and organizational policies / procedures and ensure they are met.

• Develop or provide input into Bill of Materials for prototype builds.

• Work closely with all functions to ensure information is relayed and documented for a smooth release of new products toproduction.

• Communicate with internal customers to provide technical information, recommendations, action plans, and

• identification/evaluation of risk.

• Assist technical personnel with program feasibility assessments and proposals.

• Support the development and implementation of best practices, standards, policies, and procedures.

• Support the implementation and use of lean methodologies such as Daily Visual Management, A3 Problem Solving, andKaizen.

• Other duties as assigned
