Performs highly complex tasks and has in-depth knowledge for specific production processes required for the manufacture, assembly, repair or modification of products. Is accountable for the manufacturing and/or testing of new and/or prototype products. Work guided by diverse procedures, processes and/or technical methods of varying complexity. Incumbents have some freedom to select best methods and procedures to follow to complete assignments.

Tasks are complex in nature where considerable judgment and initiative are required in resolving problems and making recommendations. Decisions/actions may have an impact beyond the jobs immediate work unit or team. Work conducted under general Supervision. Situations not covered by standard processes, procedures and methods are referred to expert resource. May provide functional guidance to others performing similar work and/or act as team lead.

May demonstrate work methods to new employees. Deals directly with immediate supervisor, co-workers and team members, engages in exchange of factual information and provides some explanation in a problem solving capacity; interactions with external contacts, if applicable, requires exchanging factual information and providing some explanation. As a specialist for an assigned specific area, directs and succeeds specific work skill (know-how) to group members.

Works under the direction of managers or with engineers to manufacture and/or test prototype and/or new customer products. And also, in situations not covered by standard processes, procedures and methods, he/she may give his/her suggestions to engineers/managers to establish methods and procedures for production/testing which are applicable to the situation. Furthermore, recognizes the point of issue related to Design, and may inform and/or ask the design engineer to take corrective action.
In addition to the above, ability to create work instructions and/or test procedures with consideration to actual work environment and rationality based on limited information thermore, using the above said work instructions and/or test procedures, ability to appropriately establish required training programs for customers and provide direction to employees on the work and/or test methodologies.

• Duties of this position are performed in a manufacturing environment with occasional to frequent exposure to elements such as noise, dust, chemicals, operating machinery, temperature extremes, etc.
