Job description

Role Definition

The Design Engineer supports the engineering team and leads the design process by creating plans and designs followed by construction workers, architects, and manufacturers. These detailed technical drawings incorporate the input of engineers, project managers, and most importantly, the customer. The Designer translates their ideas, rough sketches, and specifications into general production and installation prints used in the fabrication and installation of company products and projects. They will lead the preparation of design and bid documents, phasing drawings, as-built drawings, marketing support information, and construction sketches. They will be challenged with projects from different industries and will thrive in this environment by working with design principles, varied construction material types and properties, and manufacturing processes. This role profile is subject to change at any time.

PROTECT PEOPLE

Perform job site observations and report deficiencies, non-conformance, safety issues, quality control issues, and opportunities for improvement to the senior-most project manager on an assigned project. Collaborate with engineers to solve design issues when they arise.

Comply with Risk Management Programs applicable to assigned projects including contracts, and any special owner or regulatory requirements. Identify areas of risk, investigate, and propose solutions.

Analyze and incorporate building codes, by-laws, space and site requirements, and other technical documents to determine effect on architectural designs.

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS

Coordinate project leader or supervisor on special product projects, product development, and redesign projects as assigned. Apply and understand the design to develop products that conform to Keen quality standards and philosophy.

Provide cost estimates and bills of material for all non-configurable orders.

Initiate and manage RFQ’s and RFPN’s; coordinate with suppliers; write purchase specifications for components and materials.

Work closely with internal team, architects, consultants, contractors, directly hired tradespersons, and others related to the project to obtain technical details, optimize designs, and resolve issues.

Build teams to effectively manage projects, resolve design issues, answer questions, solve production problems, and make sure that final plans are accurate.

Communicate effectively with team, vendors, architects, engineers, general contractors, and field personnel to produce drawings. This collaboration may be on the job site when needed.

Provide support for the technical workers who contribute to the building of our structures and products. The individual directs efforts for Keen drafting, forecasting, and other technical activities relating to the project.

Provide basic support for all other departments as needed, along with other assigned duties.

FOCUS ON END GOALS

Specialize in architectural, civil, electrical, or mechanical drafting and design plans, blueprints, and drawings to create schematics that can be viewed, printed, or programmed directly into building information modeling (BIM) systems.

Prepare high-quality contract documents and specifications throughout the schematic, design, design development, and construction document phases.

Demonstrate experience in the implementation of concept design solutions through the architectural contract documents and construction administration phases.

Interpret design concepts to ensure safety, structural integrity, and quality. Must possess an outstanding skillset in sketching, rendering, concept presentation, and computer-aided design.

Communicate directly with team to design, cost, and document special products.

Develop complete and accurate electronic working plans, elevations, details, charts, and/or revisions from existing drawings, measurements, sketches, specifications, etc.

Specify dimensions, materials, and procedures for new products.

Prepare layouts that show the details for a wide variety of machinery and mechanical tools and devices. These layouts indicate dimensions, fastening methods, and other requirements needed for assembly.

Build layouts, elevations, sections, and field connections during the shop drawing process for both structural and architectural projects.

Resolve discrepancies by collecting and analyzing information through collaboration with the CAD department, structural analysts, project managers, and engineers.

Prepare engineering change documentation.

DRIVE INNOVATION

Research and analyze customer design proposals to evaluate the feasibility, cost, or maintenance requirements.

Analyze problems through data analysis, field returns, and experimentation to create more robust designs to reduce service incidence rates.

Demonstrate proficiency in technical drawings and required to solve mathematical calculations involving factors such as angles, weights, and costs.

Develop and modify designs and drawings for mechanical components and subsystems, materials, or complete products using Revit and other software.

Develop and obtain prototype parts for testing and pre-production activities.

Research, design, and evaluate equipment, systems, and processes to meet requirements.

Critique designs for safety, manufacturability, failure modes, customer usage, and functionality.

Integrate new technology or environmentally friendly practices into existing processes.
