Spartan Emergency Response is part of the larger REV Group, a leading manufacturer of specialty vehicles for the fire & emergency and recreation markets. As an engineer at Spartan Fire Chassis, you will be responsible for developing world-class, robust engineering solutions to the Fire Apparatus industry. This includes the design, development, and integration of components and sub-systems used on Fire Truck cab chassis. Engineers are responsible for all stages of a product; from research and development, through design and manufacturing, to test & evaluation, and aftermarket care. May be involved in fabrication, operation, application, installation, and/or repair of mechanical products. Engineers are considered subject matter experts and are relied upon by other employees and customers for technical guidance and support. This list of duties and responsibilities is not all inclusive and may include other duties and responsibilities, as management may deem necessary from time to time. Assist with designing, developing, executing, and evaluating fitness-for-use testing, product specifications and process validation plans for a variety of minimum complexity mechanical products and/or components; assist with creating and reviewing mechanical material part specifications and bills of materials. Create and manage indented BOM in adherence to company standards. Use CAD (Computer Aided Design) or CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) software to develop the structural design of various products, model new designs, and produce detailed engineering drawings. Verify designs through use of calculations and other analytical techniques and tools. Fulfill customer requirements (i.e., shop orders) considering design rules and all applicable interface points. Understand manufacturing processes with emphasis on metal fabrication and assemblies. Apply DFM methodologies to deliver robust engineering packages emphasizing productivity in the manufacturing process. Define test requirements and interpret test results to validate designs. Identify problems, root causes and be able to define & execute resolutions using six sigma, 8D, 5-Why or similar techniques. Understand and use lean principles as they apply to manufacturing and business processes. Execute engineering changes through established processes and documentation. Lead and execute cost saving projects through VA/VE initiatives. Commit to excellence and high standards. Become "Subject Matter Expert" of applicable regulatory standards
NFPA, DOT, FMVSS, ULC etc. Ability to mentor team members on design principles, regulatory standards etc. Skills in computer simulation, cost estimation, design optimization, design review, engineering analysis & design, feasibility study, mathematical analysis & modeling, prototyping, quality assurance process and reliability analysis. Knowledge of industry and vocational standards (NFPA, DOT, FMVSS, ULC etc). CAD and CAE software experience. SolidWorks Preferred Experience with problem solving techniques (5 why & root cause analysis). Experience with statistical techniques and data analysis. Strong communication and interpersonal skills with ability to work directly with hourly production employees and leadership concerning manufacturing initiatives and progress updates. Strong work ethic, highly motivated, organized, and self-disciplined. Versatile, flexible, and willing to work with changing priorities. Self-motivated with the ability to stay on task.
