Lead mechanical designer vs senior mechanical engineer

Differences between lead mechanical designer and senior mechanical engineer duties and responsibilities

Lead mechanical designer example responsibilities.

• Manage documentation of existing projects, perform ECN resolutions.
• Create BOM and work closely with purchasing to procure parts.
• Improve the quality of products, detailing and producing BOM's.
• Design and automate electro-mechanical machinery to customer specifications.
• Design mechanical aspects for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems for support areas for a semi-conductor manufacturing facility.

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.
