• Ancillary Duties – providing design and project management assistance when demand dictates; this includes preparing or revising drawings and bills of material, coordinating building permit submittals, performing peer reviews, etc.
  The first three items listed above are considered primary responsibilities which represent a sizeable portion of a Design Engineer’s typical work day.
  The role of a Design Engineer inherently involves constant communication and interaction with Design, Sales, Manufacturing, and BT personnel to successfully manage projects. This final responsibility flows through each of the preceding five responsibilities.
  You are required to maintain technical competence and acquire new job-relevant knowledge and skills through self-study and by participating in training or other learning activities offered by Konstant. It is also expected that work is performed beyond normal working hours to meet critical project milestones.
