What you can expect day-to-day:

The Project Engineer is a key contributor to the analysis, conceptual design, development, and testing of complex control hardware used on military, commercial vehicles and equipment. The products of our company are generally unique for each customer. Therefore, most new applications require a special, tailored design, even though adaptation of existing designs always should be considered where appropriate. The Project Engineer generally will operate as part of a design/development team, which includes other Department engineers with his/her primary concern being system or component performance and integration. The incumbent will coordinate the work of drafters, technicians, design analysts, manufacturing engineers and others who assist in specific assignments as needed.

In the early stages of a new program, the project team will consult with the customer, establish the problem statement, conceive of potential hardware solutions to the problem, often through extensive trade studies, and then create a successful technical proposal. This phase is critical in that it establishes the basis for future design, and for contract negotiations. Under the technical direction of the Section Head or the team's lead engineer, the Project Engineer will then guide the evolution of the conceptual design, technical project planning, detail design, and development testing. This requires frequent travel and the organization of presentations to customers.
