Chief design engineer vs senior mechanical engineer

Differences between chief design engineer and senior mechanical engineer duties and responsibilities

Chief design engineer example responsibilities.

• Engineer, manage and implement configuration and installation of complex Ethernet network backbones.
• Implement PLC connection for weighing systems and other serial port need to connect to other computerize control systems.
• Deal with multiple agencies including UL, ETL/Intertek, NEC, TUV, and country specific testing agencies.
• Work with a team of engineers to prepare architectural, mechanical, structural calculations, qualifying HVAC and steel designs.
• Establish and monitor contractual obligations with OEM suppliers.
• Implement engineering & management solutions and company policies necessary for attaining FAA production certification.

Senior mechanical engineer example responsibilities.

• Create DFMEA documents to help manage risks and improve initial quality.
• Set up and manage PCB manufacturing including all chemical baths, lasers, and exposure equipment.
• Restructure VHDL code and chip/module hierarchy to achieve timing goals for the dual cache controller and the chip.
• Achieve timely convergence of complex designs by building RTL models from validation area and integrating them, before official model release.
• Lead FPGA development of key digital communication component used in successful demonstration of spacecraft radio link.
• Provide mechanical design and sustaining engineering expertise to troubleshoot manufacturing defect trends and achieve a more robust and producible product.
