Trainee Electrical Machine Design Engineer information

What is the difference between Trainee Electrical Machine Design Engineer vs Electrical Design Engineer?

AspectTrainee Electrical Machine Design EngineerElectrical Design Engineer
QualificationsTypically pursuing or recent graduate in electrical engineeringBachelor's or master's in electrical engineering
Work EnvironmentTraining programs, supervised design tasksIndependent design, project management
ResponsibilitiesAssisting in design, learning tools and processesCreating and reviewing electrical designs for projects
Industry UsageEntry-level, training-focused roles in manufacturing or power sectorsFull-time roles in power, automation, or manufacturing industries

The Trainee Electrical Machine Design Engineer is an entry-level position focused on learning and assisting in electrical machine design, often within training programs. In contrast, the Electrical Design Engineer is a more experienced role responsible for developing and managing electrical designs independently. Both roles are essential in electrical engineering projects but differ mainly in experience level and responsibilities.

Job description

Senior Design Engineer
Lenexa, KS - Full Time
Productive Resources (www.productiveresources.com) is seeking a candidate to be part of our engineering team at our customer's facility in Lenexa, KS. As a member of our team, the selected candidate will leverage their extensive experience to lead and execute complex engineering projects, mentor junior and mid-level engineers, and contribute to the innovation and technical growth of the team. You will take ownership of design, development, and optimization tasks, ensuring that solutions are efficient, scalable, and meet all regulatory and industry standards. The Senior Design Engineer owns the mechanical design of our robot platform and supports equipment from concept through validated prototype - and stays accountable through seasonal production cycles.
This is a full-time position that is indefinite in duration with the opportunity of professional growth, and additional opportunities within our organization.
Duties:
  • Own mechanical design of new systems and subsystems - from requirements and architecture through detailed CAD, tolerance analysis, and released drawings.
  • Document Control- demonstrates ownership and organization for files that are created ensuring that CAD files, requirements documents and design document revisions produced are organized and managed throughout lifecycle.
  • Ensure our BOMs and documents are updated and accurate - we move fast, but with accuracy.
  • Design for the field: soil abrasion, vibration, dust ingress, impact, and thermal cycling are your test cases, not edge cases.
  • Apply a DFMEA approach and robust design to predict and protect from edge cases and failure modes.
  • Build and instrument test rigs; develop test/DVP&R plans and run validation protocols in the field alongside our operations team; document failure modes and own the fix.
  • Work tightly with software and electrical engineers to integrate sensors, actuators, and control systems into mechanical designs.
  • Conduct tolerance stack-up calculations and identify critical to quality(CTQ) tolerance call outs while producing DFM-ready drawing packages for our manufacturing partner; own the design through first-article inspection.
  • Feed field failure data back into the design - close the loop on what breaks and why utilizing first principles and solid engineering judgment.
  • Apply root cause corrective actions process RCCA or FRACAS while documenting the cycles of learning.
  • Mentor junior engineers; set the standard for design rigor on the hardware team.

Requirements:
  • 7+ years of mechanical design experience.
  • Background in off-highway vehicles, automotive, agricultural equipment, or industrial vehicles -required.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks strongly preferred); GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, and DFM for external manufacturing.
  • Experience taking a design from prototype through production drawing release - not just design validation.
  • Hands-on with physical hardware: you have built things, tested them in the field, watched them fail, and redesigned them.
  • Working knowledge of FEA and structural analysis experience preferred.
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
  • Proven toughness - changing the world is not for the faint of heart.
  • Designs for where the machine actually runs, not where it's supposed to run.
  • Takes direct feedback - both positive and negative - owns it, and addresses it.
  • Comfortable owning a design end to end with limited oversight - we are a small team.
  • Experience (personal or professional) working on or near a farm is a strong plus.
