The individual in this position will be required to understand business needs, assist in defining development programs, define objectives, and solve problems. Emphasis is on the development of new technology (prototype and "pilot" equipment) for plant "prove-out" and commercialization. As a member of a team, the engineer would be responsible for transforming; concepts to proof of principle, or prototypes to commercial scale equipment. Projects handled by the engineer at this level will entail developing new, first-of-a-kind equipment and systems, from small ($50 thousand) to medium (< $250 thousand) and can be located at DuPont facilities within the United States or abroad.
In addition, the individual will be responsible for:
. Developing first-of-a-kind custom equipment beginning with conceptualizing new equipment.
. Designing and conducting experiments and coordinating the collection and analysis of data to help in defining scope of programs and identifying problems with possible solutions.
. Performing engineering calculations to determine speeds, loads, and other data required for sizing equipment.
. Ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and practical feasibility of designs and specifications as well as adherence to applicable mechanical and safety standards.
. Effectively managing multiple programs across multiple business units with a focus on meeting commitments (cost and timing) while maintaining high quality work.
. Communicating project objectives and tasks clearly, concisely and effectively, both orally and in writing, to other people such as plant personnel, vendors, team members and leaders.
. MS degree in Mechanical Engineering at an ABET accredited university
. 1 year engineering experience with electromechanical systems (can include Co-op or intern experience).
. Strong interest and background in machine design and equipment fabrication.
. Ability to keep a systems-level view of electromechanical equipment and the interactions of mechanical, electrical and controls disciplines.
. Demonstrated knowledge of, or aptitude for learning, computer aided machine design tools (Preferable in ProE, or other 3-D CAD systems).
. Ability to learn Finite Element Analysis tools such as MechanicaT to conduct stress analyses.
. Some knowledge of commercial fabricating techniques, machining practices, design capabilities, inspection processes, fastening systems, machine dynamics, system controls, surface finishes, safety, and internal and external support systems.
. Ability to work independently and to be self-motivated.
. Demonstrated ability to work as a team member to develop equipment concepts that meet business needs.
