• Support contract execution by performing product and ancillary equipment selection, sizing, design, and development of operating data along with providing necessary documentation. This includes datasheets, drawings, and other required documents to support project engineering.
• Support the Sales group in the proposal effort by providing technical advice, engineering estimates, and preliminary design calculations and information.
• Perform standard and custom engineering calculations as required in order to ensure that equipment performance targets are met, that the equipment designs are safe and reliable, and that they adhere to customer specifications.
• Support New Product Development and R&D initiatives through involvement in related projects to ensure that performance and costs targets are met for new products.
• Review and act upon feedback from the Operations group to improve equipment designs and facilitate smooth and trouble-free assembly processes.
