  • Perform design reviews to present your design to engineering peers and leadership and obtain feedback
  • Provide technical support throughout the procurement and fabrication process
  • Document the final design to ensure it meets all application and design requirements
  • Engage in emergent issue support of customers during Outage Season to help solve challenging problems with technical guidance and fast-paced design, build, test response

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university or college

Desired Characteristics

  • 3-month relevant research, internship, or Co-op experience
  • Experience in mechanical design and drafting practices (2D drawings, 3D modeling)
