Engineer Technologist

General Summary:

Engineering Technologists support research and development activities within a field or specialization of an engineering discipline through the application of known engineering principles and practices in order to develop new concepts, products, equipment, or processes. Competency in the use of engineering tools (CAD, GD&T, programming languages, etc.) related to the specific engineering discipline (electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, software engineering, etc.), extensive knowledge of products and services available within that discipline, the ability to create test plans and technical reports for use by engineering or management personnel, and the coordination of efforts by support specialists are all expected capabilities.

• Collaborate with project leadership with the conceptual design of complex electromechanical systems and subsystems


• Collaborate with engineering staff and senior engineering technologists in developing, defining, and/or deriving requirements to support the design of engineering products


• Guide and provide input for technical work activities performed by engineering support staff and/or less experienced engineering technologists


• Research, evaluate, and recommend new engineering products and tooling to support the development of project systems


• Perform design, development, fabrication, installation, and use of custom electrical, mechanical, and software subsystems


• Prepare test plans, procedures, reports, and other forms of formal documentation


• Develop specialized electrical, mechanical, and/or software tools to support testing of complex electromechanical systems


• Utilize computer aided design software to develop electrical, mechanical, and/or software products


• Collaborate with a broad range of interoffice organizations to accomplish all phases of project development


• Conduct tests, provide results, address issues, and recommend modifications related to electrical, mechanical, or software subsystems


• Within specific engineering discipline, maintain an up-to-date knowledge of and work towards developing an advanced knowledge of design & analysis tools, test & measurement equipment, languages, and available products & services.
