Job Description Job Title : Mechanical Engineer IILocation : Columbus , INDuration : 5 MonthsSelected hire needs to be local to Columbus, IN. This team is working a hybrid schedule which means there are days each week where they'll need to be on-site working and days they can work from home. The hybrid schedule for this hire can be determined once they've started working.Position SummaryThis product focused position verifies and validates the functionality of ***' products across a wide range of customer requirements, across a variety of applications, in various environments. This work plans, tracks, and evaluates results from a wide range of analyses and functional tests to assess product risk and performance. These results are expected to drive quality decisions and proactively resolve product issues before the product reaches the customer.Responsibilities For This Position Will Include The Following

• Obtains input and negotiates with Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R) stakeholders to define technical requirements and delivers an optimized component-based analytical and experimental verification plan to the program or project team.
• Makes decisions in the areas of verification and validation that impact product performance, reliability, and durability.
• Investigates and addresses potential component concerns or issues, understands causal mechanisms, recommends appropriate action, owns problem resolution and documents results with guidance from more experienced team members.
• Applies and supports the improvement of processes such as technical requirements, iDFMEA, Engineering Standard Work (ESW), DVP&R, test planning, and problem solving and tools such as Integrity, Microsoft Power BI, and McParts required to support the processes and enable high quality decision making.
• Owns problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems or services with a greater degree of technical complexity and ambiguity over the entry level engineer level and with greater accountability to the project team.
• Provides independent execution of established work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge; engages with the improvement of systems and processes.
• Involves minimal direct management of people, but could involve the coordination and direction of work amongst technicians and/or temporary student employees.
• Contributes effectively toward team goals, exhibits influence within a work group and continues to develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.Education/Experience
  • A Bachelors' Degree is required for this role - manager has asked to see degrees in one of the three engineering disciplines: Mechanical Engineering or Industrial Engineering.
  • Manager is seeking candidates with 1-3 years' relevant experience. He is open to seeing new college graduates provided they have a degree in one of the three engineering disciplines listed above (ME, IE or CE). Lots of training will be provided to this hire.
  • Problem solving skills are a must! Selected hire needs to be able to figure out and understand the root cause of an issue and work through coming up with a solution to mitigate the issue.
  • Strong organizational skills are also a must! This team manages A LOT of testing all of which must be kept straight. They use MS Project for their notes and tracking so knowledge/experience with that is preferred. General knowledge with other MS Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) is needed too.
  • Experience with or knowledge of the following would be pluses: CAD, Creo, SolidWorks and/or Matlab.Competencies
    • Product Verification and Validation Management - Develops product systems validation plans from a variety of inputs to identify failure modes, while managing product risk and relative priority; negotiates product requirements against capability to guide project scope; evaluates analytical, simulation and physical test results to verify product capability and validate requirements; assesses legacy versus proposed system solution capabilities and produces recommendations with technical documentation to support product decisions.
    • Product Problem Solving - Solves product problems using a process that protects the customer; determines the assignable cause; implements robust, data-based solutions; and identifies the systemic root causes and recommended actions to prevent problem reoccurrence.
    • Analytical Modeling and Test Integration/Optimization - Develops a physics-based understanding of customer duty cycles using real world collected data representative of the full range of customer usage; compares analytical and experimental results and resolves differences to maintain calibrated analytical models; generates experimental testing plans that deliver optimal analysis and test coverage.
    • Product Failure Mode Avoidance - Mitigates potential product failure modes, by identifying interfaces, functions, functional requirements, interactions, control factors, noise factors, and prioritized potential failure modes and potential failure causes for the system of interest to effectively and efficiently improve the reliability of ***' products.
    • System Requirements Engineering - Uses appropriate methods and tools to translate stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements to which designs are developed; establishes acceptance criteria for the system of interest through analysis, allocation and negotiation; tracks the status of requirements throughout the system lifecycle; assesses the impact of changes to system requirements on project scope, schedule, and resources; creates and maintains information linkages to related artifacts.
    • Product Interface Management and Integration - Identifies and analyzes the interfaces and interactions across system boundaries by specifying the requirements and limits to ensure that the product meets requirements; controls the interactions across the system element boundaries by making sure that they remain within specified limits; integrates system elements by creating an integration plan, including identification of method and timing for each activity to make it easier to find, isolate, diagnose, and correct.
    • Technical Function Processes and Tools - Executes, improves, trains, coaches and/or manages the Technical processes and tools including standards and best practices that enables knowledge to be re-used and functional deliverables to be met in a quality and productive manner.
    • Decision quality - Making good and timely decisions that keep the organization moving forward.
