Role of a Product Engineer

The production manufacturing process relies heavily upon product engineering. Product engineering involves overseeing many aspects of the commodity including but not limited to the quality, performance, cost, usability, reliability, lifespan, and serviceability.

Without product engineering, a product would just remain as an idea or non-functioning, non-reproducible model. The role of the product engineer is to connect the development and production teams with technical expertise and processes that are critical for bringing the object to life. We ensures the entity will reliably function and can be produced in a cost-effective manner.

Responsibilities

Understanding and applying statistical methods and tools , software and hardware systems, physical analysis, simulation programs, technology specific to the commodity, and problem-solving skills.
We are responsible for ensuring the product can withstand normal wear and tear, and must analyze failure rates, and troubleshoot these factors for production.
Through this process, we are responsible for creating a rigorous engineering specification document, the most useful being a “working spec” document organized by requirement.
A working spec document is designed to be continually updated, and this is helpful because many products need to evolve over time. At multiple stages of development, we tests the item to ensure that it meets the specifications.
The best product engineers are also knowledgeable about technologies that are on the horizon so that real-time updates can respond to market demands.

While there are an almost infinite number of different types of products in the world, they can all generally be classified within seven different categories. The seven product categories are environmental and service, packaging and durability, web and software, electronics, libraries and firmware, sensors and hardware, and regulatory and commercials. None of these products created themselves. In fact, complex systems of layered expertise from a variety of professionals were required to bring each product to life. Within the lifespan of a product, there are many important stages. One of the most important is product engineering.
