Senior mechanical engineer vs lead mechanical engineer

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

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.

Lead mechanical engineer example responsibilities.

• Optimize structural design of bolted/weld cabinet with analyst using ANSYS to achieve desire weight of structure.
• Manage outside contractors as an adept mechanical engineer, experience in plumbing.
• Provide mechanical design and sustaining engineering expertise to troubleshoot manufacturing defect trends and achieve a more robust and producible product.
• Review and approve CFD and/or structural analysis and technical specifications prior to finalizing engineering drawings.
• Model system components in SolidWorks and produce engineering drawings of all parts to be fabricate and install.
• Propose alternative design solutions for HVAC and plumbing systems to provide increase efficiency.
