The Mechanical Engineer is responsible for the design of production tools and/or machines, and for developing solutions to production problems relating to materials, processes, and tooling. They support new programs by developing new processes, designing tooling and machinery, and developing production controls. Additionally, the Mechanical Engineer sets up new equipment, ensures satisfactory operation of the new equipment, and teaches others to use it properly.

• Manage fixture and tooling projects required for the assembly of new product launches
• Determine fixtures and tooling that will be required for the assembly of new products to meet engineering specifications
• Communicate fixture and tooling requirements and cost to design engineering and management
• Design fixture and tooling and then manage the fabrication of components by outsourcing the fabrication or using internal resources
• Re-design, repair, or replace in-process production equipment
• Sets up new equipment, ensures its satisfactory operation, and instructs others to use the new equipment properly.
