- Create 3D models and detailed engineering drawings using Creo (preferred) and other CAD tools. Creo creates structural parts including mechanism design.
- Perform structural analysis (FEA) for strength, fatigue, and vibration.
- Validate designs through simulation and physical testing (bench and field tests). Address service and production line issues through root cause analysis and corrective actions.
- Drive Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VAVE) projects for cost reduction.
- Contribute to patents and innovative solutions for structural and linkage systems.
- Select appropriate materials for high-load and harsh environments.
- Collaborate with manufacturing teams for feasibility and cost optimization Coordinate projects across domestics and overseas divisions, ensuring timely delivery and quality standards.
- Ensure designs meet ISO and mining industry standards.
- Implement safety and reliability requirements in all designs. Perform engineering design through analysis and simulation of prototypes testing.
- Work closely with electrical, hydraulic, and powertrain teams for integrated solutions.
- Support supplier development and localization initiatives. Interact with purchase team teams to define requirements and maintain design development documentation.
- Drive Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VAVE) projects for cost reduction.
- Contribute to patents and innovative solutions for structural and linkage systems.
