Description
Mechanical Design Verification Engineer @ £37 Leeds 6 months Contract
Design verification is concerned with ensuring that the Mechanical Design output requirements have been addressed by the Designer, and that their work has been appropriately documented. This is done with a view to ensuring a safe, robust and effective product with a documented design intent which supports future enhancement.
Role Responsibilities
Review Designer outputs with the remit to ensure that engineering designs are safe, effective and appropriately verified. Scope includes internal and externally generated models and drawings verifying mechanical integrity, including weld specifications and ensuring that data conforms to company standards and worldwide Regulatory requirements. Ensure design/drawing outputs are in accordance with ISO/ASME and company standards including the use and understanding of Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). Verify that any tolerance stack ups and dimensional justifications are accurate and appropriate and recorded fully within the DVW (Design Verification Workbook) or similar DVE (Design Verification) tolerance analyses. Verify simple' hand calculations have been accurately completed and appropriately referenced back to specific engineering text. Complete design verification deliverables and ensure design related ECO's (Enterprise Change Orders) are implemented accurately and to agreed timescales to support Base Business and NPD (New Product Development) projects. Optimise the use of the company CAD/CAE systems to ensure that models are produced with a common standard structure and with maximum model flexibility. Operate refined time keeping, work planning and estimating disciplines Participate in the systematic review of function and value analysis Assume responsibility for own design commitments delivering to agreed timescales in line with project plans. Verify that data required for the design section of the development history files (DHF) has been correctly generated. Participate in Design FMEAs as a fully trained member of the team.
