This position is for an engineer who will be responsible to define specifications with the customer, analyze, research, design, test and qualify linear seals. The candidate will design products or systems of diverse/difficult scope and complexity using engineering principles and Parker linear seal design standards. Develops and recommends solutions to a variety of complex engineering requirements to ensure that design objectives are met, including required program scope, cost and schedule constraints. Applies engineering principles, developed knowledge and skills to design custom linear product to meet or exceed customer requirements.

Responsibilities

Reviews product specifications and/or modifications to ensure clarity, completeness, form, fit, function, and conformity to standards and procedures. Troubleshoots designs and other deficiencies, and recommends revisions, engineering change orders, and improvements to engineering management or the project team. Maintains and updates Product Design Standards as needed.

Provides technical information for review with product engineering teams applying consistent engineering practices, standards, and documentation methods (e.g. structured design process; customer design reviews). Writes supporting documentation for procedures and technical reports.

Will communicate frequently with customers to identify new business opportunities, present Parker product capabilities, and clarify customers’ technical requirements. May write technical proposals for customers by reviewing and interpreting specifications and requirements.

Applies scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure the outcome and consequence of design alternatives. Interprets and validates test results for accuracy and precision. Oversees and monitors product acceptance procedures and parameters to achieve customer and product reliability and safety standards (e.g. failure analysis). Utilizes and interprets predictive models to simulate and verify design concepts. Develops critical data and analysis necessary to present technical product and/or system proposals to customers
