As a Engine Installation Engineer, you are accountable for, but not limited to:
Translate machine and engineering requirements into practical designs that consider packaging, interfaces, performance, reliability, serviceability and manufacturing requirements.
Contribute to design realisation, engineering release, verification, test and validation planning to demonstrate that solutions meet defined requirements.
Develop engineering solutions for new machines and improvements to products already in production.
Apply structured analysis and engineering evidence to identify root causes, compare alternatives and make sound engineering recommendations.
Apply design-for-manufacturability principles, considering assembly, build sequence, product quality, cost and production readiness.
Work with product engineering, test, manufacturing, purchasing, suppliers and global colleagues to communicate technical information, resolve issues and deliver effective engineering solutions.
