2. Understand the design specification given to you by the design lead.
3. Understand the company’s design standards and best practices.
4. Understand the constraints within which your design must work.
5. Understand geometric tolerances and dimensional analyses.
6. Choose components based on an understanding of function, reliability, and costs.
7. Choose materials based on an understanding of materials science and engineering.
8. Understand design for manufacturability/assembly.
9. Work with the Electrical Engineer to choose drives and electrical components (if any).
10. Discuss with the Software Engineer on any interlocking logic requirements.
11. Lay the design concept down in the 3D CAD.
12. Perform DFMEA during the design process.
13. Submit the CAD module to the system integrator to check for interface issues.
14. Review the design with the design lead.
15. Put the part designs down on drawings, carefully specifying tolerances and specifications.
16. Build the module BOM.
17. Procure the module components.
18. Review the assembly of the physical module.
19. Perform design improvements where appropriate.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
