      Nov 2015 - Nov 2016
      Product engineer

      1. Understanding the product and its features and in collaboration with other departments (marketing, technical publications, regulatory, safety, etc.), decide the information to be provided on the label for the product2. Establishing a new process in the plant to directly apply the identification marks on the product by means of laser etching.3. Assisting in tests conducted to determine the feasibility of the various product materials to maintain the etched identification marks over a large period of time. This is done by performing the etching on different material and subjecting them to stimulated conditions of time and atmosphere. 4. Creating changes in existing computer models and prints of parts to provide new location of the identification marks.5. Determining and developing new fixtures based on their requirement of the etching process as setting up the new process in the plant would require these. 6. Proposing changes to design of products as and when needed to incorporate the identification guidelines. 7. Collaborating with Packaging Engineers to ensure the product is appropriately packaged when sold to customers. 8. Creating fresh prints of parts as required and routing them through the Change Management Process Show less
