Senior mechanical technician vs senior mechanical engineer

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

Senior mechanical technician example responsibilities.

• Read and interpret drawings involving HVAC installation and electrical diagrams.
• Own / maintain building, and factory HVAC equipment, i.e.
• Test electro-mechanical subsystems for circuit integrity and operational reliability.
• Create functional 3d models and drawings or modify as necessary through the ECO process.
• Develop and maintain document control system for purchase and manufacture parts including accurate BOMS and ECN implementation.

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.
