As a fully competent engineer in all conventional aspects of electronics, the incumbent plans and conducts the research or development of electronic products. Assignments have general technical objectives and require mature judgment in the application of engineering techniques or developing innovative approaches to problems encountered. Performs work that involves conventional engineering practice but may include a variety of complex features such as conflicting design requirements, unsuitability of standard materials, and difficult coordination requirements.
Work requires knowledge of principles and practices of related specialties.
Problems may be characterized by their lack of engineering precedents. Independently performs most assignments with instructions as to the general results expected. Receives supervisory approval on proposed plans for projects. Works and communicates effectively with a wide range of functional disciplines and levels of management. Work with suppliers and manufacturing engineers to produce cost effective and robust designs for medium volume manufacturing.
