Project Engineer

Overview

This position is responsible for leading and designing filtration-related products following the requirements agreed upon by the engineering manager and the customer.  The project engineer is responsible for the design as well as handling other responsibilities related to the delivery of the program tasks.  This will involve leading weekly customer meetings, handling all technical aspects of the project, tracking all engineering related open items, and working with cross-functional teams to ensure that the design meets Filtran quality and manufacturing standards.

 

The design must be optimized for performance, manufacturability (cost and quality) and must be conducted per ISO/TS 16949 requirements and in conformance to Filtran’ s Global Design Standards.  The Project Engineer is also responsible for engineering support which includes but not limited to ECO’s, BOM’s, TR’s CFD and FEA requests, updating MQ1 with design documentation, and advising other departments and customers in terms of design questions / inputs and any other support as directed.

 

The principal outputs of the project engineer position include both design and technical project management.  This position will generate 3D CAD models and drawings, all required technical APQP documentation as well as track notes from customer meetings, reviewing and updating technical specifications and lead cross functional team meetings to review technical aspects of the program.  This position will be working closely with other design engineers as well as Filtran’ s in house lab, quality, manufacturing, sourcing and project management departments.
