Mechanical engineering manager vs senior mechanical engineer

Differences between mechanical engineering manager and senior mechanical engineer duties and responsibilities

Mechanical engineering manager example responsibilities.

• Coordinate and manage prototype development and validation testing.
• Manage QA for research orient development efforts and for high visibility, production focuse development efforts tie to revenue generation.
• Work with the in-house UL and compliance engineers, ESD engineers, and the shock/vibration engineers.
• Design various hand-held and permanently mount RF instruments for use in RF broadcast and transmission installations.
• Engineer and/or design and/or value engineer (redesign) new and/or existing HVAC systems for commercial and/or industrial applications.
• Select HVAC equipment such as boilers, chillers, cooling towers, air handling units and roof top units.

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.
