Information Technology & Services
Responsibilities
Understand engineering principles to analyze data and develop Computer‐Aided Design (CAD) models to optimize design opportunities
Apply engineering fundamentals to design, document, build, and test component‐level solutions using CAD and drawing standards (e.g., Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y14.5) with awareness of the surround sub-system and machine context
Create, revise, and release models/drawings using Product Data Management (PDM) tools (e.g., PDMWorks) and process Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) according to team workflows
Execute bench or machine tests on prototypes; collect and analyze data using basic statistical methods (e.g., Excel, Minitab) and support simulation-to-test correlation under guidance (e.g. interpreting Finite Element Analysis (FEA) produced per Vermeer standards in tools such as ANSYS)
Participate in root‐cause analysis of component or assembly issues using structured problem-solving approaches (e.g., 8D, Six Sigma principles) and collaborate with cross-functional partners on corrective actions
Incorporate Design for Manufacturability (DFM)/Design for Assembly (DFA)/Design for Serviceability (DFS) considerations; collaborate with manufacturing and service early in the design process
Coordinate tasks and communicate status with peers and stakeholders; manage time to meet team goals, metrics, and milestones; participate in the team's Digital Lean cadences (e.g. stand-ups, sprint reviews/retrospectives) where used
Qualification
Required
Four‐year degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Agricultural, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent education and experience
Proficiency with CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, PTC Creo, Siemens NX; familiarity with drawing standards and revision control) and exposure to PDM tools (e.g., PDMWorks) and ECN processes as applicable
Foundational analysis skills, including exposure to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and understanding of material properties, durability, and strength of materials where appropriate
Familiarity with basic statistical analysis tools (e.g., Excel, Minitab, JMP as applicable) to interpret test data and support data-driven decisions and root-cause analysis
Ability to operate basic shop tools (e.g., wrenches, drill press, band saw) for prototyping and to support test execution and data collection
Collaboration, communication, and time management skills to work effectively across engineering, manufacturing, and service teams; familiarity with Agile/Lean team practices where applied (Digital Lean)
