Principle engineer vs senior mechanical engineer

Differences between principle engineer and senior mechanical engineer duties and responsibilities

Principle engineer example responsibilities.

• Lead cross-functional development initiatives compliant with FDA 21 CFR 820.
• Code the Linux socket base GigE protocol to manage and transfer streams of video data.
• Manage Terraform and refactore from monolithic to application specific components.
• Set up and configure PHP Java bridge to enable invoking Java services from a PHP script.
• Design and develop low-level FC device driver as well as the Linux kernel interface layer for the product.
• Have a detail-orient with a track record of delivering infrastructure enhancements on time and with minimal impacts to production.

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.
