Job Description:This Aftermarket & Improvements Engineering II position is responsible for engineering design and support for both GILLIG Parts sales, production as well as Continuous Improvement projects. Duties involve engineering assistance, creating aftermarket kits, problem resolution, identify/provide cost reduction efforts and other engineering duties in support of the design and manufacturing of specific components and simple sub-systems. This person will have direct influence at the part level to optimize the piece parts and simple sub-systems. This position reports to the Engineering Supervisor but may also get direction/guidance from senior engineers. You will collaborate with internal and external partners to interpret customer requirements, supply chain capabilities, manufacturing capabilities and business needs. You will contribute to complex designs at the subsystem and vehicle level, devising optimal product solutions in concert with electrical and product validation peers.

Responsibilities:Can communicate component level design/idea to internal/external customersEvaluates customer product requirements and develops product designs to meet customer needsInterpret customer requirements, and map requirements onto existing designs when possible, and/or develop new designs when neededOptimize designs via analytical, numerical and/or empirical assessments. Make mechanical, thermal and electrical models/analysis to ensure product requirements are metProduce and/or evaluate possible design solutions to improve cost, quality, delivery and performance on specialized knowledge of engineering applications together with possible involvement of other functional engineers and/or customer/supplier personnelDirect CAD Designers to complete 3D models and drawings as necessaryRelease drawings accordingly to support production cost estimation and prototype quotesReview CAD models and drawings of components to ensure their integrityUse CAD modeling software to create components, assemblies, and engineering drawings for manufacturingCreate and maintain Bill of Materials (BOM) along with all project documentationDesign and document solutions, within the scope of concepts, for components and modules, taking project guidelines (e.g. safety, quality, costs, weights and dates) into considerationDetail mechanical & electrical design including design for manufacture and assemblyAnalyze assignments and determine engineering specifications which must be fulfilled for problems or projectsSupport production ramp & ongoing/continuous product/process improvementPerform and coordinate laboratory testing of prototypes for component characterizationWork with the test engineer(s) to create DVP&R, execute the defined test plan and review the test results/reportsConduct field testing and provide preliminary evaluationsDevelop and maintain the technical specification for desired performance at the component levelAbility to prioritize assigned tasks to maintain scheduleWorks independently on assigned component tasks with some guidance required from senior engineers on sub system level tasksWorks productively with other engineers, designers, technicians, sales representatives, installers, and project managers so the project is delivered on schedule and on budgetProvide technical design support to sales, product engineering, manufacturing, and quality organizationsProvide technical guidance to junior engineers at component levelSupport purchasing, field service and other internal customers as requiredLead or support prototype order and procurementOperate in a team environment and provide input to design solution during the design development phaseApplies industry practices and standards (NFPA, NEC, APTA, etc.) at the direction of senior engineersArea of expertise at the component levelModel and drawing documentation is accurate and completeExhibits insight and mechanical/electrical design sense to develop and meet design requirements with product designs that are manufacturable, cost-efficient, reliable, and better than the competitionHands-on troubleshooting of vehicle systemsReleased designs are cost-effective, manufacturable, serviceable, meet all performance objectives and meet customer requirements
