Staff engineer vs senior mechanical engineer

Differences between staff engineer and senior mechanical engineer duties and responsibilities

Staff engineer example responsibilities.

• Manage complete design flow: schematic creation, layout design, PCB fabrication, parts procurement and assembly.
• Develop and manage technical procedures for quality control to comply with ISO laboratory accreditation.
• Implement a process for reusing SilverStream Java custom reports and UI code on a ColdFusion server saving 1.5 man-years of development.
• Develop and document communication stack API, enabling parallel development of third-party stack and UI interface.
• Participate in relocating network infrastructure, server farm, network monitoring and IP telephony to another data center.
• Web pages contain HTML and JavaScript.

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.
