Mechanical design technician vs senior mechanical engineer

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

Mechanical design technician example responsibilities.

• Provide mechanical design and sustaining engineering expertise to troubleshoot manufacturing defect trends and achieve a more robust and producible product.
• Design and model changes to drawings for support of fabrication and installation of HVAC, plumbing and major commercial/industrial/residential pipe systems.
• Engineer air-conditioning, heating, refrigeration, plumbing, and electrical power supply for renovate building spaces.
• Convert and clean-up architectural background drawings and establish mechanical and plumbing drawings.
• Create BOM for the lines; compose design documentation utilizing technical drawings and engineering specifications.
• Design and manufacture documentation for custom smart power distribution products including customer specifications and vendor BOM's.

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.
