Your responsibilities:

• Conceptualise, design and develop precision mechanical components and sub-assemblies for commercial digital printing systems.
• Assist in migration of theoretical data to develop real world components.
• Capture the design intent of a product concept model & produce patent documentation.
• Develop and implement ideas into CAD models using 3D CAD.
• Develop mechanical solutions for print engine integration, motion systems, paper handling mechanisms, fluidic systems and supporting product infrastructure.
• Develop & debug electro-mechanical sub-system components.
• Develop verification and validation plans to confirm compliance against actual product capabilities/requirements.
• Prototype the design and assembly of test fixtures for use in mechanical testing.
• Organise and conduct mechanical, environmental, reliability, life-cycle and performance testing.
• Execute test plans and document results such that problems can be reproduced and studied.
• Generate test reports and analyse test results to recommend design improvements based on engineering data.
• Perform mechanical product research in a laboratory environment, including life testing.
• Develop assembly processes, work instructions, engineering specifications and manufacturing documentation.
• Perform FEA, DFMEA, FMEA, FAI, GD&T, CPM & GR&R, mould flow & tolerance analysis.
• Drive product and process improvements to enhance reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost competitiveness.
• Investigate production issues and project risks and implement engineering improvements to improve quality, efficiency and reliability.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable Australian and international engineering safety, quality and regulatory standards.
• Support engineering change management activities and product lifecycle management processes.
• Travel internationally as required to support departmental activities and business objectives.

Experience & Skills:

Essential

• At least 3 years’ practical experience in the design and development of electro-mechanical products and systems.
