WHAT THEY DO
Draft detail drawing or sketch for drafting room completion or to request parts fabrication by machine, sheet or wood shops.
Review project instructions and blueprints to ascertain test specifications, procedures, and objectives, and test nature of technical problems such as redesign.
Review project instructions and specifications to identify, modify and plan requirements fabrication, assembly and testing.
Set up and conduct tests of complete units and components under operational conditions to investigate proposals for improving equipment performance.
Analyze test results in relation to design or rated specifications and test objectives, and modify or adjust equipment to meet specifications.
Calculate required capacities for equipment of proposed system to obtain specified performance and submit data to engineering personnel for approval.
Record test procedures and results, numerical and graphical data, and recommendations for changes in product or test methods.
Read dials and meters to determine amperage, voltage, electrical output and input at specific operating temperature to analyze parts performance.
Prepare parts sketches and write work orders and purchase requests to be furnished by outside contractors.
Evaluate tool drawing designs by measuring drawing dimensions and comparing with original specifications for form and function using engineering skills.
Estimate cost factors including labor and material for purchased and fabricated parts and costs for assembly, testing, or installing.
Set up prototype and test apparatus and operate test controlling equipment to observe and record prototype test results.
Analyze energy requirements and distribution systems to maximize the use of intermittent or inflexible renewable energy sources, such as wind or nuclear.
Analyze or estimate production costs, such as labor, equipment, and plant space.
Assemble or disassemble complex mechanical systems.
Assist engineers to design, develop, test, or manufacture industrial machinery, consumer products, or other equipment.
Assist mechanical engineers in product testing through activities such as setting up instrumentation for automobile crash tests.
Conduct failure analyses, document results, and recommend corrective actions.
Conduct statistical studies to analyze or compare production costs for sustainable and nonsustainable designs.
Design molds, tools, dies, jigs, or fixtures for use in manufacturing processes.
Design specialized or customized equipment, machines, or structures.
Devise, fabricate, or assemble new or modified mechanical components for products such as industrial machinery or equipment, and measuring instruments.
Discuss changes in design, method of manufacture and assembly, or drafting techniques and procedures with staff and coordinate corrections.
Inspect and test mechanical equipment.
Interpret engineering sketches, specifications, or drawings.
Prepare equipment inspection schedules, reliability schedules, work plans, or other records.
Prepare layouts of machinery, tools, plants, or equipment.
Prepare specifications, designs, or sketches for machines, components, or systems related to the generation, transmission, or use of mechanical or fluid energy.
Provide technical support to other employees regarding mechanical design, fabrication, testing, or documentation.
Test machines, components, materials, or products to determine characteristics such as performance, strength, or response to stress.
