Primary Functions: 

+ Prepare designs and specifications for various complex equipment or systems (e.g., a heating system in an office building, or new electronic components such as solid-state devices for instrumentation equipment).

+ Plan approach to solve design problems.

+ Conceive and recommends new design techniques.

+ Resolve design problems with contract personnel and assures compatibility of design with other parts of the system.

+ Design and coordinate test set-ups and experiments to prove or disprove the feasibility of preliminary design.

+ Use untried and untested measurement techniques; and improves the performance of the equipment.

+ Advise equipment users on redesign to solve unique operational deficiencies; plans approach and conducts various experiments to develop equipment or systems characterized by:

+ (a) difficult performance requirements because of conflicting attrib...
