Mechanical Engineer jobs in Akron, OH

ROLE PURPOSE
Make new designs, changes and modifications to existing mechanical parts and subassemblies. Mechanical Engineering work with appropriate direction from others. Develop and maintain Engineering documentation for details, assemblies, and bill of materials utilizing CREO for the release of new and existing machinery products.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES
* Facilitate the process of new designs, changes and modifications to existing mechanical parts and subassemblies. Mechanical Engineering with appropriate direction from others. Utilize ProE Creo as primary software package for design. Requires knowledge of industrial machinery systems and expertise in 3D CAD. Analyze and coordinate the intended design change on all effected documentation to identify the full impact of the design change based upon form, fit, and/or function and relationships of parts as well as design for manufacturability.

* Provide input for the quotation of custom systems. Analyze customer requirements and estimate engineering resource commitment, materials and project scope. Provide guidance to other engineering and support resources for the purpose of the quotation process.

* Collaborate in cross-functional project teams to create, modify, and detail machine components, bills-of-materials, and assemblies. Incorporate input from sales, applications and engineering team members as well as contributing design concepts and ideas to deliver new systems once approval is obtained. This includes establishing timelines for deliverables, sourcing of parts, prototype builds, coordination of delivery and installation, product testing and training.
